[Intro]
Bm Bm

[Verse 1]
Bm
 Look into my face,
 then look again
Bm
 We are not the same,
 we’re different
Bm
 To tell your tales and
       Bm
 fables, you couldn’t wait
Bm
 You need a new clean
 slate without the dents
G                     Bm
 A place to put your pain,
 your consequence
                         Bm
When you look into the mirror
are you even there?

[Chorus]
Em
I don’t wanna know all your
secrets because I’ll tell
      G
It’s hard enough being
alone with myself
   D         Bm        A
I don’t know how long I’ll
be holding on
   Em
I know you tried your hardest
I know that you meant well,
          G
But you pushed me to the edge
and I slipped and then I fell
   D         Bm        A
I don’t know how long I’ll
be holding on

[Verse 2]
Bm
 So write a brand new page
 then write again
Bm
 I know your act is staged yet
            Bm
 you pretend all while you’re
 turning tables with missing legs
Bm
 I think you’ve overstayed
 your welcome
   Bm
 in so go the fuck away,
 don’t come again
Bm
I’ll see your face in the fire,
and burn it out

[Chorus]
Em
I don’t wanna know all your
secrets because I’ll tell
      G
It’s hard enough being
alone with myself
   D         Bm        A
I don’t know how long I’ll
be holding on
   Em
I know you tried your hardest
I know that you meant well,
          G
But you pushed me to the edge
and I slipped and then I fell
   D         Bm
I don’t know how long
 A
I’ll be holding on
