[Verse 1]
    Bm                    E          A           Bm
My words don't know the truth they flutter as I speak
      Bm             E                     A                Bm
The sickness I feel under my belt is the disdain I have for me
      E                  A            A                Bm
I've asked you to stand tall but it's me who's fallen down
   Bm             E                 A                     Bm
A better man I'd like to be  but I can't find my way home now
 
[Chorus]
    E                  A      A                 Bm
So what kind of man am I who never looked up to see the sky
     E            A       A                     Bm
And every word I say has come back to haunt me every day
    Bm           E       A            Bm
So here I stand alone crippled on my cane
     Bm          E          A            Bm
The coward I've become the loser in the game

[Verse 2]
       Bm               E           A              Bm
These eyes you see are masked by a thin veneer of tears
    Bm                         E                 A                                Bm
And who would have known that such a small task would have compromised all these years
          E                 A              A                     Bm
'Cause a liar's guilt is a liar's fate and man, that's just the facts
     Bm                E                    A                Bm
For those too weak to tell the truth into darkness you'll be cast
 
[Chorus]
    E                  A      A                 Bm
So what kind of man am I who never looked up to see the sky
     E            A       A                     Bm
And every word I say has come back to haunt me every day
    Bm           E       A            Bm
So here I stand alone crippled on my cane
     Bm          E          A            Bm
The coward I've become the loser in the game
 
[Verse 3]
        Bm                 E     A                Bm
So dig deep, you little bastard let the truth be known
  Bm                   E            A                        Bm
Angels are flying with you tonight you'd better not let them go
  E                  A                 A                   Bm
'Cause if you do I'd hate to think of what your fate could be
 Bm                E                     A             Bm
Speak your mind, tell what you know and set your soul free
 
[Chorus]
    E                  A      A                 Bm
So what kind of man am I who never looked up to see the sky
     E            A       A                     Bm
And every word I say has come back to haunt me every day
    Bm           E       A            Bm
So here I stand alone crippled on my cane
     Bm          E          A            Bm
The coward I've become the loser in the game
