              G             C       G          C 
I wear their face on top of my face 
                   G      C 
I am the perfect target screen  
            Bm           G 
for your blindly-fueled rage 
G            C             G          C 
I bear the brunt of your long-buried pain 
              G           C 
I don't mind helping you out  
                    Bm         G 
but I want you to remember my name 
G             C 
It's not all me 
          G      C 
It's not all my fault 
         G     C 
I may remind you 
                    Bm   G 
But I won't take it all on  
G             C                     G    C 
past-riddled rage I see the buttons I engage 
             G       C                Bm          G 
with my dignity in place I'm all too happy to assuage 
G             C 
It's not all me 
          G      C 
It's not all my fault 
         G     C 
I may remind you 
                    Bm   G 
But I won't take it all on 
D                G     
Lest I find my voice find the  
Bm                   G 
strength to stand up to you 
D                G                 Bm           G 
Lest I state my limit and take on only what is mine to 
 
G         C                      G           C 
We are a team I'm here to help mend and re-seam 
           G            C          Bm             G            
All I trigger unknowingly a job I hold in high esteem  
G             C 
It's not all me 
          G      C 
It's not all my fault 
         G     C 
I may remind you 
                    Bm   G 
But I won't take it all on 
                Bm      G 
I'll only take some of it
