[Verse 1]
I’m gonna start [Em]again
This [Am]world I painted black
[G]Just needs some colour[Em]
[Am]I’m gonna live my [B]life [G]like the [C]other
[Em]Person I should have been

[Verse 2]
I ain’t tapping [Em]out, no [C]no [Em]no no
To this [Am]dark and twisted dream

If I [B]don’t get a grip
Then the world [Em]has won
[Am]Making me think [G]that I’ll never be
The [B]person I should have [Em]been

[Verse 7]
Who am I [Am]now?
A [B]lonely man [Em]that’sfallen down
No I can[Am]’t change
[B]The past that time has [Em]all burned out
But [C]I know some[A]where inside of me
[Am]Is t[B]he person I could ha[Em]ve been[F#]
