D C
Once upon a time a stutter disgusted me
Eb F C D
muttered distrust at me pity you couldn’t fly
D C
I’ve only ever taken what’s mine
Eb F C
So what if I help you I’m helping myself too
D C
Twice I got the wind knocked out of me why
Eb F
C
Just to curl up and die No I’ve got too much pride
D C
So I breathe it in then let it out slow
Eb F C
When I turn to go find you falling behind
Gm Bb Dm C Gm
I fought for every last inch that I got
Bb Dm C Gm
Forgive me for leaving my spot
Bb Dm C Gm Bb
Not standing in w while you finish the race
Dm D
with those two broken legs you’ve got
D F
One thing’s for sure…
Gm Bb D
If I were you I never would have let it stop me
D C D
I never have before
Bb Dm Gm
And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you
F
you’d thank me
Bb C F
You’d get down on one knee no matter how much it hurt
Eb Bb C F Eb
And you would say “I’m sorry” but I would say it first…
D C
Once the two of us were eye for an eye
Eb F C D
Now I’ve given up trying how could I be so blind
D C
You’ll never let me settle the score
Eb F C
To you I’m the scourge not the partner in crime
Gm Bb Dm C Gm
I fought for every last one of you schmucks
Bb Dm C Gm
I might as well have saved my luck
Bb Dm C Gm Bb
Not wasted it all on some shortsighted know-it-all
Dm D
so-called friends you’re not
D F
One thing’s for sure…
Gm Bb D
If I were you I never would have let it stop me
D C D
I never have before
Bb Dm Gm
And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you
F
you’d thank me
Bb C F
You’d find me in a dream on some uncharted map
Eb Bb C F Eb
And I would say I’m sorry and you would want me back…
D C Eb
Once the world was just a web and a spider and so was I
F C D
A liar in a dress of white
