A
                 C#m     F#m
I've waited too long to have you
 D                       A
Hide in the back of me
                 C#m    F#m
I've cheated so long I wonder
 D                       Bm
How you keep track of me
                          D
You could never be strong
You can only be free
    A       Amaj7           Bm
And I never asked for the truth
        C#m          D
But you owe that to me

A
                  C#m      F#m
I've entered the game of pricks
       D                       A
With knives in the back of me
                  C#m     F#m
Can't call you or on you no more
  D                        Bm
When they're attacking me
                           D
I'll climb up on the house
Weep to water the trees
      A            Amaj7      Bm
And when you come calling me down
         C#m      D
I'll put on my disease

A   C#m F#m D   x2

Bm
                          D
You could never be strong
You can only be free
    A       Amaj7           Bm
And I never asked for the truth
        C#m          D
But you owe that to me
    A       Amaj7           Bm
And I never asked for the truth
        C#m          D
But you owe that to me
    A       Amaj7           Bm
And I never asked for the truth
        C#m          D
But you owe that to me
