G 
So while I'm turning in my sheets  
                        Em 
And once again I cannot sleep  
                              
Walk out the door and up the street  
                             C 
Look at the stars beneath my feet  
 
Remember rights that I did wrong  
          G 
So here I go  
 
Hello, hello  
                           Em 
There is no place I cannot go  
 
My mind is muddy but  
                          C 
My heart is heavy does it show  
 
I lose the track that loses me  
          G 
So here I go  
       Em     C 
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu  
G 
And so I sent some men to fight  
                             Em 
And one came back at dead of night  
 
Said he'd seen my enemy  
                         C 
Said he looked just like me  
 
So I set out to cut myself  
           G 
And here I go  
  Em     C      G  D 
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu  
C                     G 
I'm not calling for a second chance  
    D                          Em 
I'm screaming at the top of my voice  
C                   G 
Give me reason, but don't give me choice  
           Am            C            G 
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again  
 
uhuuuu 
 
And maybe someday we will meet  
                            Em 
And maybe talk and not just speak  
 
Dont buy the promises cause  
                        C 
There are no promises I keep  
 
And my reflection troubles me  
          G 
So here I go  
       Em     C      G  D 
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu  
C                     G 
I'm not calling for a second chance  
    D                          Em 
I'm screaming at the top of my voice  
C                   G 
Give me reason, but don't give me choice  
           Am            C             
Cause I'll just make the same mistake  
                     G 
I'm not calling for a second chance  
    D                          Em 
I'm screaming at the top of my voice  
C                   G 
Give me reason, but don't give me choice  
           Am            C            G 
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again  
       Em     C 
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu  
G                                 Em 
uhuuuu So while I'm turning in my sheets  
                               C 
uhuuuu And once again I cannot sleep  
                                    G 
uhuuuu Walk out the door and up the street  
 
uhuuuu Look at the stars  
Em                               C 
uhuuuu Look at the stars falling down  
 
uhuuuu And I wonder where  
                G 
uhuuuu Did I go wrong
