First attempt at a kickass song! solgood at gmail dot com for comments/corrections
D
From the scrapes and bruises
D/A D/G
To the familiar abuses
D Em Bm G
I'll kick and scream but it never changes anything
I could spill my guts out
Wearing my best little girl pout
And I almost missed it
But nobody said that this was gonna be easy
D
This is not the man I hoped to be
And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding
D/A
I don't know how to word it
I just started to deserve it
D/G A
And all my, all my faces are alibis
D
And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be

D
Most times it all comes out wrong
D/A D/G
I don't know the words but I'll hum along
D Em
There's nothing familiar here anymore
Bm G D
to anyone or anything left to feel alive
And I still taste that sickness
And it makes me crazy without it at best
But I'm in the same place I used to be
But I'm trying harder not to be
This is not the man I hoped to be
And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding
I don't know how to word it
I just started to deserve it
And all my, all my faces are alibis
And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be
G: 12
D: 14 12
E5 G5
So what am I? What am I? So what am I?
And all my, all my faces are alibis
This is not the man I hoped to be
And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding
I don't know how the words go
I just started not to say no
Don't want it, Don't get it
I know you won't regret it
Don't surface, Don't surface
And I feel so damned worthless
Another day is gone and all my faces are alibis
all my faces are alibies
and me, I'm half the man I wanted to be
