[Intro]
Bm

[Verse 1]
  Bm          A           G
I thought I'd built up my skin
    Bm       A             G
But standing here I'm feelin’
paper thin
Bm            A          G
Cause you say one little thing
               Bm         A
It goes caving in, caving in,
       G
caving in

[Verse 2]
Bm        A          G
Thought I was in the clear
Bm        A             G
But I can't silence the voices
I hear
Bm              A           G
  When I face myself in the mirror
          Bm             A
I see the years, see the years,
          G
I see the years

[Pre-Chorus]
       A  G
I lost my youth
D                   A
Hiding the devil in me
Bm       G
Broke in two

[Verse 3]
Bm         A          G
Words that can't be unsaid
    Bm        A
Ah, lessons I learned thought
  G
I knew what they meant
  Bm      A               G
I made my heart twist and bend
    Bm           A           G
All for nothing, nothing, nothing
