Intro: F, G, F,   C, G

Verse:

  F  
I try to keep up, I swear that I do
          G
But every time I look up I lose site of you
        F
I never wanted to be the way that I am, 
    C                  G                   Am
But it's not my fault, it's just my circumstance


Chorus:

  F           Am              G
Believe me, believe me when I say, 
Am                F
I never wanted it this way
  C               G
Believe me when I say, 
Am                   F
I always tried to do my best
C                    G    F
I gotta get this off my chest


Verse 2:

   F
I wanted to be just where you are 
                G
Cause you're a beacon of light that awakens the stars
          F
I see you holding a fire, deep in your heart, 
                           G             Am
I know I'm not the one but I'll play the part


-Chorus-


Bridge:

F       Am    C        G
Someday soon, I'll be alright again
F             C       G
I pray you've not forgot
F       Am  C            G
Someday you will see the light again, 
    F        C           G
And find all that you've lost


Chorus (1/2):

  F           Am              G
Believe me, believe me when I say, 
Am                F
I never wanted it this way

G
