[Verse 1]
I kind of keep [D]asking [C]myself little questions

and how long [G]it's been
Since I last [Em]had you n[Bm]ear
[C]Been a

[Verse 2]
[Em]painful [D]road to a
[C]door that's [G]closed

[Verse 5]
[Em]constant [D]fight to get
[C]through each day [G]and night
It's a [C]war between the [D]present
and the pas[C]t
And the [Em]face that's in your [D]mind every
