[Verse 1]
            D
When you’re moving at a pace and
 leave before it started
     Bm
It's hard to take a break 
when you don’t know what’s important
             A            
Am I too far gone to stay 
            G
will I ever wanna change
     D
If I went another way would
 it be different
     Bm
If I had the other say would 
they have listened
              A              
It's all I've ever known but 
        G
now I’m wanting more
D

[Bridge]
               Bm
Falling in and out of place
D                    G
I don’t know where I wanna be
                   Bm               A
Afraid of what its done to me, woah oh
                    G
But now I’m feeling lost and out of reach

[Chorus]
    D
And I can't find my place, I’ve never had a
Bm
Home to rest my ache, I'm tired of being
A                     G
On my own and broken, scared that 
it won't ever end
  D
I tried and tried again but all I found is
Bm
Emptiness instead I’m giving up on
A                       G
All I've ever wanted, I guess that
 it’s just hopeless
D
