Verse 1:
C#
I settled down
A twisted up frown
Fm
Disguised as a smile well
               C#    Eb
You would have never known
You would have never known
Fm
I have it all
But not when I wanted
'Cause over me was a
place uncharted
    C#  Eb
And overgrown


Refrain 1:
Fm            G#
You make your way in
    Eb
I resist you just like this
C#                     Fm
  You can't tell me to feel
                G#
The truth never set me
          Eb       C#(hold)
free So I did it myself


Chorus 1:
    Fm           C#
You can't be too careful anymore
G#                 Bbm
  When all that is waiting for you
Fm           C#
  Won't come any closer
G#              Eb
  You've got to reach a little
Bbm  C#   Bbm  C#   Eb
more More More More More


Interlude: Fm--G#-Bbm-Fm--Bbm-Eb-


Verse 2:
C#
Open your eyes
Like I opened mine
     Fm
It's only the real world
              C#    Eb
Life you will never know
Fm
Shifting your way
To throw off the pain
Well you can ignore it
             C# Eb
But only for so long


Refrain 2:
Fm              G#
  You look like I did
      Eb
You resist me just like this
C#                     Fm
  You can't tell me to heal
               G#
And it hurts remembering
       Eb           C#(hold)
How it felt to shut down


(Repeat Chorus 1)
