[Intro] | G | G | G | G | | G | C | G | C | [Verse 1]
          G                       C
There is nothing left, I'm giving in

         G          C
I can't win, I can't win

           G                        C
I've been wasting time, I won't pretend

          G
No, not again, never again
[Pre-Chorus]
       Am                   G                 D
I was fooled, how could I know that this was doomed to fall apart?

          Am              G                D                      G      C
But the truth is hard to hold when time reveals a dark and heavy heart

                  G      C
A dark and heavy heart
[Verse 2]
       G                          C
I can bear the weight of this no more

           G                C
I can't ignore the spite and scorn

            G                        C
And these bloodshot eyes are battle worn

              G
Goddamn this war, can't take much more
[Pre-Chorus]
        Am           G                D
But my dignity and pride are like a shield to this abuse

       Am             G                   D
In the end I will survive, I've seen the darkest days

                      Bb    Am    G
But now I'm free to choose

                  Bb    Am     G
A life away from you
[Chorus]
                          D
And though I hang by a thread

                     Eb   F   G
You'll never keep a good man down

                             D
And though you pushed to the end

                      Eb   F   Bb    Am
It's time for me to stand my ground
[Bridge]
G                                  Bb    Am   Bb5
 Once you're betrayed, you never trust

G                Bb                    Am    Bb5
 And when it's from the ones you love

G                               Bb    C
 Nothing's the same, not as it was

             G
Never as it was

          G                       C
There is nothing left, I'm giving in

         G          C
I can't win, I can't win
[Instrumental] | Bb Am | G | [Chorus]
                          D
And though I hang by a thread

                     Eb   F   G
You'll never keep a good man down

                             D
And though you pushed to the end

                      Eb   F   G
It's time for me to stand my ground

                    D
My better angels defend

               Eb    F   G
My dignity at least for now

                       D
You'll never hurt me again

                         Eb   F   G
No, you won't keep this good man down

                         Eb   F   G
No, you won't keep this good man down
