Key: F
Chords used:
Intro: F-- x2
Verse 1:
There was a time and
place where I never thought
I'd leave my own hometown
but those days finally
are dead and gone
It was never my intention
to stay there Oh no
Interlude: F--Bb-F--Dm--Bb-F--Bb
Verse 2:
There was a conscious
effort played by me
to disown anything I
see There was a girl
I knew way back when
who says she doesn't
know me anymore
Refrain 1:
These are the lies
the things you never mention
These are my past mistakes
I'll stay away from
Chorus:
These are my thoughts
written down on paper
It's my only savior
what I want to say
These are the thoughts
that are on my mind
Moments that haven't
yet been defined
And I don't know if you
could ever understand
These are the things I
can't say when were alone
Interlude: F--Bb-F--Dm--Bb-F--Bb
Verse 3:
There were countless
hours on the telephone
My ears were ringing
There were flashing
lights people staring
There was nothing
I could ever do
(Repeat Refrain 1)
Refrain 2:
This is the truth
The only time you'll hear it
I write it down because it
seems so hard to say it
(Repeat chorus)
Outro: F--Bb-F--Dm--Bb-F--Bb--F(hold)
