[Verse 1]
[Em]If I fail,[Am] if I fall[Em]
If [D]I can't be free, then I never was at all
[Em]The more I fight[D], I stay the same[A]

[Verse 2]
[C]Where do I go, and [G]what do I do?
[D]I'll never know if I never
get [C]through
The more I [Em]fight, I [D]stay [A]the [C#]same
[Em]

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][Em][A][D][C#][C][D]
[Em]Got

[Verse 3]
a lot, a lot of excuses
[B]Not[Em]hing better tha[C]n a
[D]homemade [Em]lie
New rules and old confusion
The [B]ones [Em]you just desp[C]ise[D]
[Em]Out

[Verse 4]
of my way, out of my reach
Out of your dream,
if [C]you still can't [D]sleep[Em]
My mind is a terrible gift
And I'd rather be numb [C]than
feel [D]this [B5]way

[Verse 5]
Come home with [B5]the medal,
it's [D]broken[B5]
Another fake that's
another mis[D]take[B5]
Just once, when the moment is [D]golden[B5]
I will leave this clean
[A]If I f[D]ail,

[Verse 6]
[A]if [Am]I fall[Em]
If I [D]can't be free,
then I never was at [Em]all
The more I [D]fight, I stay the same
[A]

[Verse 7]
[C]Where do I go, and [G]what do I do?
[D]I'll never know if I never
get [C]through
The more I [B5]fight, I stay
[C]the same

[Interlude 2]
[D][A][C#5][C#][C][D]
[Em]Half

[Verse 8]
my time and one [B]protection
[Em]This is better [C]than a bigger [D]stand[Em]
New shoes in old directions
The epitaph of [C]man[D]
[Em]Killing

[Verse 9]
my name, killing my past
[E]Nothing's left [Em]when
[C]nothing las[D]ts[Em][E]
[Em]My life is a terrible wa[B5]ste
[Em]An d I'm going down fa[C]st[D]
If [Em]I fail,

[Verse 10]
[A]if I fal[Em]l
If I [D]can't be free,
then I never was at [Em]all
The more I [D]fight, I stay the same
[A][B5]

[Verse 11]
[C]Where do I go, [G]and what do I [D]do?
I'll never know if I never
get [C]through
The more I [B5]fight, I stay [D]the same

[A]Oh, [Em]don't

[Verse 12]
be so distracted
I can tell you [C]where [D]the story end[Em]s
New sins and old abuses
And no one wins [C]again[D]
[Em]This

[Verse 13]
is my chance, this is my curse
We all know [C]it'll only get [D]worse[E]
[Em]My hell is a terrible case
But I'll give you all [C]hell [A]first

[Verse 14]
If I [A]fail, if I [Em]fall
If I can[D]'t be free,
then I never was at [Em]all
The more I [D]fight, I stay [A]the same

[Verse 15]
[A][C]
If I [A]still, if I [Em]stole
if I [D]can be hurt I would
never even [Em]go
The more I [D]fight, I stay [A]the same

[Verse 16]
[A]
[C]Where do I go, and wha[G]t do I do?[D]
The very thought scares
the hell out [C]of you
The more I [G]fight, I [Bm]stay [D]the same

[Verse 17]
[D]
If I [C#]fail, if I [C]fall
If I [D#]know if I care at [D]all
The more [A]I fight, I stay the same
