Linkin Park – By Myself (Guitar)

     G#m
What do I do to ignore them behind me?

     F#
Do I follow my instincts blindly?

     C#m
Do I hide my pride behind these bad dreams

      E
And give into sad thoughts that are maddening?

          G#m
Do I sit here and try to stand it?

     F#
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?

     C#m
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness?

     E                                       F#
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?

             G#m
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin

    F#
I make the right moves but I'm lost within

     C#m
I put on my daily facade but then. 

    E            F#
I just end up Getting hurt again

    G#m         E 
By myself (myself)

          G#m         
I ask why (but in my mind I find)

     E               G#m
I can't rely on myself(myself)

    E             G#m
I ask why (but in my mind I find)

     E              G#m
I can't rely on myself

          E
I can't hold on

               C#m
(to what I want when I'm stretched so thin)

G#m           E        C#m
It's all too much to take in

G#m          E
I can't hold on

                     C#m
(to anything watching everything spin)

G#m                E       C#m
With thoughts of failure sinking in

  G#m
If I turn my back I'm defenseless

   F#
And to go blindly seems senseless

      C#m
If I hide my pride and let it all go on

   E
Take from me till everything is gone

   G#m
If I let them go I'll be outdone (but if I)

   F#
Try to catch them I'll be outrun

   C#m
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer

    E                                          F#
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

G#m
How do you think

F#
I've lost so much

C#m
I'm so afraid

E
And I'm out of touch

G#m
How do you expect

F#
I will know what to do

C#m
When all I know

E
Is what you tell me to

G#m           
Don't you (know)

E                   G#m                     
I can't tell you how to make it (go)

E                   G#m                     
No matter what it do, how hard I (try)

E                   G#m                     
I can't seem to convince myself (why)

E                       G#m                     
I'm stuck on the outside

G#m           
Don't you (know)

E                   G#m                     
I can't tell you how to make it (go)

E                   G#m                     
No matter what it do, how hard I (try)

E                   G#m                     
I can't seem to convince myself (why)

E                       G#m                     
I'm stuck on the outside
