Intro: C#m - A - E - B [X2]
C#m A E
I’ve never been the kind to hold back,
B C#m A E B
Though I’ve never felt the burden before,
C#m A E
And all these years I begged for vengeance,
B C#m A E B
Was only left with wanting more,
A E
But I can’t be whole,

'til I let all this anger go,
A E B
The silent strain I’ve carried long enough.
E B
And I can’t be with you,
C#m F#m
I don’t even want to,
A B
I just wish your ghosts were gone,
E B
Cause I’m ready to love,
F#m A
I’ve been guarded long enough.
