Misc Originals – Alexis Wright - On My Own (Guitar)

Ab
There is so many ways

Bb
To save the day

Eb
Utter three words, and I will stay.

Ab
But, you don't know,

Bb
Know what they are,

Eb
Do you?

Fm                           Gm
It's clear as day, why did I ever stay?

Eb                              Ab
Your words were sugar, but your touch was pain.

Fm                        Bb
You were not good for me, that much is crystalline.

    Eb       Bb       Gm     Ab
And now it's time for me to leave...

Ab       Bb              Eb       Bb        Ab
Yelling, screaming, it's like you see right through me.

Ab                                      Bb
Thought I needed to be strong and just carry on,

Bb      Ab            Cm
But you had different plans.

Ab                Bb           Eb   Bb   Ab
Make it try, then say goodbye; why did I ever hope?

Ab                              Bb
You didn't care, you would just stop and stare.

    Eb         Bb     Abm         Eb
How cruel is reality, never giving into me.

     Ab          Bb          Eb
Time to lift myself off the ground.

Ab
Then I'd remember that day,

Bb
When we'd lay

Eb
Looking at the blossoms

      G#  Gm      Eb
On my backyard's trees

    G#
But by the end of May

    Gm        Eb     Fm
Our bloom was gloom, afterall

Ab
So, how could it be?

            Eb
The day you first saw me

      Gm
You drowned me with love

           Eb  Gm Fm
And now I have no sea.

           Ab
I know that if I fell

   Eb           Gm             Ab
I would not be caught in your arms...

                Fm                      Gm
Yeah, now it's clear as day, why did I ever stay?

Eb                              Ab
Your words were sugar, but your touch was pain.

Fm                        Bb

    Eb       Bb       Gm     Ab
And now it's time for me to leave...

Time to lift myself off the ground.

Fm
Coursing through my veins

Gm
Fighting through the pain

Eb   Gm     Gm7  Cm  Cm7
Why can't I just let go?

Fm
I know the of best dreams

Gm
May not be what it seem

Eb        Gm       Bb          Cm
But I can see that you are the nightmare

Ab                  Eb             Eb Bb Ab
I've got to find my way on my own

     Ab             Bb        Eb
I've got to find my way on my own
