C
Can't stay with you, but I'll miss you
Em
Soles on fire, I can't see through

All the smokey, smoking higher

And I don't know what to do

See the shadow, it stays beside me

In my dreams, it never likes me

Oh, it's a long road that I've created

I've got it under control

Sand pulls quicker, sinks me deeper

I like the feeling, I let it linger

Where's my education? What was I thinking?

Been lying to myself all along

And I knew I was wrong

And I know I can't fix what I have done

So I keep walking until I'm done

And why am I walking?

And this I don't know

Why I keep walking in circles
G
When I've got nowhere to go
Am C
But I'll do this alone

And every tear I know is mine
Am C
And I will feel it in my bones
G F
I'll be okay, just let me hide
G
Patterns change, just like the tide
C
And why am I walking?
Em
And this I don't know
F
Why I keep walking in circles
G
When I've got nowhere, got nowhere, to go
C
And why am I talking?
Em
When I have nothing to say
F
My head is a mess
G
And I'm not finding my way
C
But I can't stay with you, but I'll miss you

Soles on fire, I can't see through

All the smokey, smoking higher

My feet won't bring me to you

D
I took in the most that I could
Bm
I never imagined that I would
G
Be feeling so misunderstood
D
I'm just following lines
You race in my mind like a car
Bm
You've beaten my heart so damn farther
G
And now I've been pacing the wall
Em
Cause you're under my hood
A
Never thought I could
Love you no never
Em
Never thought that I would
G A
Ever try to be anything better
G D
My heart's beating better alone
Em
And if it is broke
Bm A
Why let you know
G D
This heart's not your skipping stone
Em
If I'm sinking water
Bm A
Then why even bother
G A
Just leave it alone, Mmmm
D
This heart's not your skipping stone
So maybe I should settle down
Bm
And find a new man let him
G
Throw my world around

All his blueberry lies
I know there isn't a rule
Bm
Was left in the dust never
G
Was taught in school

Never knew that you
Could just hold me hostage

Through the pain somehow

Don't want you to stop it

I never let you in
A
Was a lie

I wasn't letting you win
