D                          Bm7
From the scrapes and bruises 
                 D/F#  G
To the familiar abu - ses  
                 D                 Em              G  D/G Dsus2/G
I'll kick and scream but it never changes anything 

D                        Bm7
  I could spill my guts out 
                       D/F#  G
Wearing my best little girl   pout
               D
And I almost missed it  
            A                 Bm       G
But nobody said that this was gonna be easy 

[Chorus 1]
Em               D
This is not the man I hoped to be, and

I'm just trying to stop the bleeding 
      Bm7        
I don't know how to word it 
                    D/F#
I just started to deserve it 
    G                          A
And all my, all my faces are alibis
            G                           D
And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be

[Verse 2]
D                                 Bm7
  Most times it all comes out wrong
                                D/F# G
I don't know the words but I'll hum along 
                     D           Em
There's nothing familiar here anymore 
   D/F#        G                    D
to anyone or anything left to feel alive 

D                              Bm7
And I still taste that sickness 
                             D/F#   G
And it makes me crazy without it at best 
                D                      A
But I'm in the same place I used to be 
        Bm       G
But I'm trying harder not to be 

[Chrous 2]
Em               D
This is not the man I hoped to be, and

I'm just trying to stop the bleeding 
      Bm        
I don't know how to word it 
                    D/F#
I just started to deserve it 
    G                          A
And all my, all my faces are alibis
            G
And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be

[Interlude]
D/F#    G    A/C#    D/G
D/F#    G  D/F#

[Bridge]
Em                          G
    So what am I? What am I? So what am I? 

[Chorus 3]
      D                          Bm7
And all my, all my faces are alibis
     D/F#        G
This is not the man I hoped to be
             D
And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding 
  Em
I don't know how the words go 
         G             A
I just started not to say no 

D
  Don't want it, don't get it 

I know you won't regret it
Bm7
    Don't surface, don't surface 
              D/F#       G
And I feel so damned worthless 
                                          A      
Another day is gone and all my faces are alibis 
D/F#              Em            D/F# G
All my faces are alibis, and me

                              D  Bm7  G
I'm half the man I wanted to be
