[INTRO Stronger Than Me] D D A D D A D BM A [Verse 1]
D       Em                     G
So you closed your eyes in the morning

D            Em                    G
You said you want to start smoking again

D                      Em
You said you had that dream last night

G
Of the stranger in your room

D            Em                         G
You said you want to start making new friends

     Em             A
Well I'd found some peace

     Em        A
And you want release

                           D
You must be stronger than me
[Refrain]
D
I don't know how you can take it

   D
Invest your heart and then you break it

G                G/F#           Em
I don't know how you can set it free

                           D
You must be stronger than me

D
Set it up but it's not perfect

D
Tear it down 'cause it's not worth it

     Bm              A             G
If someone else can light your mystery

                           D
They must be stronger than me
A D D A D D A [Verse 2]
D     Em                G
So I closed my eyes at midnight

D      Em           G
Cinderella must go home

D                 Em
But the map was burned

         G
And I've taken a wrong turn

 D     Em            G
And I found myself alone

Em                A
I'm tired of this war

Em                        A
I don't want to fight no more

                       G  D
You must be stronger than me
[Refrain]

D
So it's too late then

Bm
You could have told me when

 G                            Em
Living died and passion lied

 D                 Bm
Now you're a refugee

 D
Well if it's what you need

 G                            Em
Run away from the truth you see
