(Verse 1)
Eb
I watched the proverbial sunrise
Ab
coming up over the Pacific and
Cm
you might think I'm losing my mind,
Bb
but I will shy away from the specifics...
Ab Bb Cm
'cause I don't want you to know where I am
Ab Bb
'cause then you'll see my heart
Cm
in the saddest state it's ever been.
Ab Bb
This is no place to try and live my life.
[Pre-Chorus]
(low)Eb Eb Bb Bb/D
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
Ab Cm Bb
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
(low)Eb Eb B2 Bb/D
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
Ab/G Ab
that it's the very moment that
Bb
I wish that I could take back.
[Chorus]
Eb Bb Cm
I'm sorry for the person I became.
Bb Eb
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
Bb Cm
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
Ab
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Bb
Who I am hates who I've been.

(Verse 2)
Eb
I talk to absolutely no one.
Ab
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
Cm
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
Bb
to create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.
Eb
I heard the reverberating footsteps
Ab
synching up to the beating of my heart,
Cm Bb
and I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
Ab Bb Cm
And I can't let that happen again
Ab Bb
'cause then you'll see my heart
Cm
in the saddest state it's ever been.
Ab Bb
This is no place to try and live my life.
[Soft Pre-Chorus]
Eb
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
Ab
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Cm
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
Bb
that it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back.
[Regular Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Eb/G Ab Bb
Who I am hates who I've been
Bb Cm
and who I am will take the second chance you gave me.
Ab Eb
Who I am hates who I've been
Bb
'cause who I've been only ever made me...
[Chorus]
