CAPO 2
(Intro)
F#m A (x2)
(Verse)
F#m
Polish the broken glass
A
The dust of your dirty past
D
But every time that you ask
A
It puts me in spins
F#m
These are just memories
A
They don't mean anything
D
How much of this is me
E
And how much is you?
(Intro x2)
(Verse 2)
F#m
Such is the irony
A
The chains and the shackling
D A
All the old garden games binding these two
A/G# F#m
Such is the game we play
A
We have such a little say
D E
In what's worth remembering and what I forget
(Chorus)
F#m A
So I choose not to
D E
And I choose not to
(Verse 3)
F#m
Tarnish the legacy
A
Hobble it at the knees
D A
Shred every single page until you can breathe
A/G# F#m
If this is defining you
A

D E
Then after the interview you can give in
F#m A
Instead I will choose which of the battles I fight
D
For which of the causes I die
E
The people I love save me
(Repeat 'til fade out)
