[Verse]
Dm
Beat down and questioned,
don't tell me wrong from right
Bb
You never knew the answers anyway
C                      G
I never knew you faked your
whole life
Dm
Deep down inside me,
passed on this hope and pain
    Bb                           A
And learn to live without a lost love,
             F
that bears a cross of shame

[Chorus]
G                         Eb
Every breath that you can take
                F
Never crosses itself
                      G
without something changing
                           Eb
Taking me through all your sins
                   F
Making me live it again
                         D    Eb
Nothing in my life comes easy

[Verse 2]
Dm
You never thought to see me and
I never thought to care
Bb
Like I don't exist to you now,
C              G
I'm making you disappear
Dm
I'm not here to stroke you
or to amplify your pride
        Bb
And I'm taking you for
                A
everything it's worth
          F
So let it die

[Chorus 2]
G                         Eb
Every breath that you can take
                F
Never crosses itself
                      G
without something changing
                           Eb
Taking me through all your sins
                   F
Making me live it again
                         D    Eb
Nothing in my life comes easy

           Dm
Don't justify,
I don't hear your nothing

Try to simplify,
but you're still in my way
Dm
Out of my way
