[Intro]
F# Bb/D Ebm C#m/E B Bm F#
 
VERSE I
       F#                   Bb/D                   Ebm
You say  you want the truth,    but you can't take it
C#m/E                  B
     So I give you lies
Bm               F#
  I give you lies
       F#                  Bb/D               Ebm
You say  you want the best,    but you destroy   it
C#m/E               B
     So I keep it inside
Bm            F#
  I keep it inside
 
PRE-CHORUS
               Ebm
I tell you something
                    C#             Bmaj7
It's a double-edged sword you're giving
                             F#
And I can't see the truth in living
                              C#sus4
When we hide behind a wall of fear
C#              Ebm
  And you don't see it
               C#          Bmaj7
It's a twisted dream you believe in
                          F#
And what's the use in pretending?
                                     C#sus4
Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear 
 
CHORUS
C#           F#
  So there I said it
             C#
And I won't apologize to you anymore
            Ebm
Cause I'm a grown-ass man
      C#
And I wanna live again
        B                 Bbm            Abm
And I'm sick and tired of living in your shadows
           F#
So there I said it
             C#
And I won't apologize to you anymore
            Ebm
Cause I'm a grown-ass man
      C#
And I don't understand
B               Bbm           Abm
Why I should be living in the shadows, so there I said it
 
VERSE II
       F#                  Bb/D              Ebm
You wa - nna hear my voice,    my mind, my demons
C#m/E            B
     But not too much
Bm               F#
  Or you'll give up
 
PRE-CHORUS
               Ebm
I tell you something
                    C#             Bmaj7
It's a double-edged sword you're giving
                             F#
And I can't see the truth in living
                              C#sus4
When we hide behind a wall of fear
C#              Ebm
  And you don't see it
               C#          Bmaj7
It's a twisted dream you believe in
                          F#
And what's the use in pretending?
                                     C#sus4

Why I should be living in the shadows, so there I said it
