G6Oh I'll not be told G"No" to "No More!"
Refrain: G
Verse 2:
GYou must believe to hear me sing these
G7Messy morsels of my self-assuring G6love
G6Oh it's painful Gkneading
GYes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles
GThat G7glare me down and face me with all I do G6wrong
G6Why do they all look Glike me?
Chorus:
GSo I Amtry and I Cscream and I beg and I Gsigh

Verse 3:
GIf I had hands I'd hold up high
My G7lofty dreams and my alibi's real G6name

GSo I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn
GThere's a G7ghost in your eye
G7There is someone that knows more than G6I
But I'm quick to deGny
Chorus:
GSo I Amtry and I Cscream and I beg and I Gsigh
GJust to Fprove I'm aEmlive

Bridge:
N.C.
I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
N.C.
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
N.C.
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
N.C.
I 've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
N.C.
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
I've Cmaj7painted your patterns but found them attractive.
Now Bm7I have been leaning towards a Em7life far more candid,
Bm7Though Cmaj7led through the dark with your Deyes as my candles,
Where Bm7your life, and my life, diEm7rections can wrangle.
And Cmaj7all of a sudden you've left me to handle
The Bm7reasons that never forEm7bid me to stand tall.
Em7And Cmaj7somehow or somewhere I Dfound out the secret -
To Bm7sting alive without Em7actually breathing.
