As recorded by Senses Fail (From the 2008 Album LIFE IS NOT A WAITING ROOM) [Intro] Cm G7 Cm Fm Ab Cm [Verse 1]
Cm
I'm giving up all expectations

Ab                 G
That I will live a meaningful life

Cm
I once was filled with inspiration

Ab                  G
That lion heart has lost his pride
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm                                        Cm
I am not the person that I thought that I would be
[Chorus]
Cm                            Fm
I keep tripping over the same steps

Fm
The stars aren't beautiful

  Ab
Advice is never useful

            Cm
And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets

Fm
I'd rather die than live like this

           Ab
I've gotta give up giving in
[Verse 2]
Cm
Some people never will go crazy

Ab                            G
What horrible lives they must lead

Cm
I'm going to try and paint new scenery

Ab                    G
And build a window to help me see
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm                                        Cm
I am not the person that I thought that I would be
[Chorus]
Cm                            Fm
I keep tripping over the same steps

Fm
The stars aren't beautiful

I've gotta give up giving in

Bb            G               Cm
I have got my eyelids stapled shut
[Verse 3]
Cm
I have failed but I'm used to it

                 G
The past is just that

       Ab         G
It's a sunken old ship

      Fm        Eb
There will be moments

Cm   G
I pretend

       Fm           Eb
That I can raise it up

                 Cm
Up back from the depths
[Verse 4]
Cm
Who the fuck am I kidding?

      Ab                            G
I was born with the curse of always giving in

G
(Giving in!)

Cm
Every day is another chance

        Ab
To make peace with myself

            G
But I would rather play dead
[Bridge]
Fm            Eb                              Bb
Sure it looks easy when it's through borrowed eyes

                        G                            Fm
The hero has a thousand faces, none of them matching mine

                         Eb                         Bb
Fuck the world, fuck the stars, fuck the person you are

                            G                          Cm
None of this will matter if I don't give up folding my cards

I have got my eyelids stapled shut
