By Myself Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bb5]What[Em][Bb5][Em][Bb5][Em][Am][Em]
[Bb5]do I do to [Em]ignore them behind me?
Do [D]I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide [Am]my pride from [F]these bad dreams
And [Am]give [Em]into sad thoughts
that are madden[Am]ing?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
[Em]Or do I tr[D]y to catch them red- handed?
Do I trust some and get
fooled by [Am]phoniness
Or do I trust [Em]nobody and live in [Am]loneliness?
[Bb5]Because I can't [Em]hold on when I'm
stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost with[D]in
I put on my [Am]daily façade but then
I [Em]just end up getting hurt again

[Verse 2]
By [Em]myself (myself)
[Am]I ask why,[Bbm] but i[Em]n my mind find
I can't rely on myself (myself)
[D]I ask why[Bbm], but [Em]in my mind I fi[D]nd
I can't [Bb5]rely on mys[Em]elf

[Verse 3]
I can't hold [C]on
To what I want when I'm
[Am]stretched so [Em]thin
It's all too [C]much [Am]to take in
[Em]I can't hold on
[C]To anything,
watch[Am]ing everything spin
[Em]With thoughts of [C]failure [Am]sinking i[Em]n

[Verse 4]
If I turn [Em]my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
[D]If I hide my [Am]pride and let it [F]all go on
Then [Am]they'll take [Em]from me
'til everything is [Am]gone
If I let them [Em]go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
[D]If I'm kil[Am]led by the
questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the
[Em]si lence of the answer

[Verse 5]
By [Em]myself (myself)
[Am]I ask why,[Bbm] but in my[Em] mind find
I can't [Bb5]rely on mys[Em]elf (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind I find
I can't [Bb5]rely on mys[Em]elf

[Verse 6]
I can't hold [C]on
To what I want when I'm
[Am]stretched so [Em]thin
It's all too [C]much to [Am]take in
[Em]I can't hold on
[C]To anything,
watching [Am]everything [Em]spin
With thoughts of [C]failure
[Am]sink[Em]ing in

[Verse 7]
How [Em]do you think
I've [D]lost so much?
I'm so [F]afraid
[Am]I'm out [C]of touch[Am][Em]
How do you expect
[D]I will know what to do
When all [Am]I know[F]
[Am]Is what you [Em]tell me to[Am]

[Verse 8]
[Em]Don't you (know?)
[Am]I can't tell [Bb5]you how to
[Em]make it (go)
No matter what I do, how hard I (try)
[Am]I can't seem to [Bb5]convince
[Em]myself (why)
I'm [D]stuck on the [Em]outside

[Verse 9]
Don't you (know?)
[Am]I can't tell you[Bb5] how to make[Em] it (go)
No [D]matter what I do, how [Em]hard I [Am](try)
I can't seem to convince [Em]myself (why)
I'm stuck on the [D]outside

[Verse 10]
[Em]I can't hold on[C]
To what I want when I'm
[Am]stretched so [Em]thin
It's all too [C]much to [Am]take [Em]in
I can't hold on
[C]To anything,
watch[Am]ing everything [Em]spin
With thoughts of [C]failure [Am]sinking i[Em]n

[Verse 11]
I can't hold [C]on
To what I want when I'm
[Am]stretched so [Em]thin
It's all too [C]much to [Am]take in
[Em]I can't hold on
[C]To anything, [Am]watching everything [Em]spin
With thoughts of [C]failure [Am]sinking in
