[Intro]
E A C#m B A

then
E A C#m B/D# E  x2


[Verse 1]
E
  As I kick myself again
     A
And I try to pick myself
         C#m
back up again Don't want
   B                A
to make the same mistakes
E
  Always the first with an
  A
excuse But it's when you're
                C#m
cornered by the truth
Sometimes it's
B           A
easier that way


[Chorus 1]
B                  A
  And As you turn away
B                  A
  And As you turn away
     B
When realization stares
                 A
you down And you swear
you've come to terms
        B
I'm wary I've seen it
             A
all too many times
I've seen it
             E    A C#m B/D# E
all too many times

E A C#m B/D# E


[Verse 2]
E
  It never made much
          A
sense So I always had
                   C#m
to stop and second guess
         B              A
Defeat myself before I start
E                       A
  Comfort seems so far away
                            C#m
Peace of mind is just a luxury
           B              A
Forgetting is the hardest part


[Chorus 2]
B                  A
  And As you turn away
B                  A
  And As you turn away
     B
When realization stares
                 A
you down And you swear
you've come to terms
        B
I'm wary I've seen it
             A
all too many times
I've seen it
all too many


[Bridge]
E
  It's not what you say that matters
C#m
  It's not what you say that matters
        B
Because anyone can say those words
   A E
to me You say I lack compassion
C#m
  But that's when my first reaction
B                          A
Isn't how you wanted me to be


[Instrumental]
E C#m B A  x2

then
E A C#m B A


[Verse 3]
E
  As I kick myself again
     A
And I try to pick myself
         C#m
back up again Don't want t
B/D#              E
make the same mistakes
