G C G
C             D       G       C G
I'm sorry I'm not the one

C
I'm not your savior

    D                 G         C G
Not strong enough to lean on.

C                             D          Em      G
And yes I'm shamed of turning my back and run.

C                          D
But I'm not your fatheror long lost son,

            G       C G
I'm not the one

C                   D
and I'm not a good lover,

            G
I'm just a fool.

   C
Or when you're drowning,

 D                     G
I'm not the lifline to pull at sea.

C                          D               Em
Hell I'm not free enough myself to set you free.

C
I'm not your savior.

D       G
I'm not free.

G
You had the time to flee

    Em               C
To places where I'll never be

     C      Am     G        D      G D
But somehow you believed in me.

G                             C         Am
Standing here helpless at the end of my arms,

C            D    G
Stretched out and look me in the eyes

   C                  Am      D  C
Oh brother, when you shoot me down,

  A
I ate the cake, I burned the flag

  C
I burned it all but what the heck

    A7                        A
I'm only temporary, just like you.

          A               G       C Em C G
Just like you, just like you.

G                            C
Wipe that smile off of your face,

                                    D                  G
Cause I can't change your dreams or get the dreams you chase

    G                 C    D       C
And I can't bear your wild golden cross.

       Em                      G                      C
Cause after all you're just a shade on the wall, like all of us.

       Em            D                 G      D
Another shade on the wall, like all of us.

G                             C         Am
Standing here helpless at the end of my arms,

C           D      G
Stretched out and look me in the eyes

C                          D  C
brother, when you shoot me down,

   A
I ate the cake, I burned the flag

  C
I burned it all but what the heck

     A7                       A
I'm only temporary, just like you.

          A               C       G
Just like you, just like you.
