Intro

Cadd9 G/B Dsus4 G (x2)

Verse

Stranger than your sympathy,
And this is my apolo-gy
I'm killing myself from the inside out,
And all my fears have pushed you out.
And I wished for things that I don't need.
Csus2* Cadd9 G
All I wanted
And what I chase won't set me free.
Csus2* Cadd9 G
It's all I wanted
G Dsus4 Cadd9 Csus2* Cadd9
And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees.
Oh yeah, everything's all wrong,
Yeah, everything's all wrong, yeah.
Where the hell did I think I was?

Chorus

Stranger than your sympathy,
I take these things so I don't feel.
I'm killing myself from the inside out,
And now my head's been filled with doubt.

Verse

And it's hard to lead the life you choose,
Csus2* Cadd9 G
All I wanted
When all your lucks run out on you.
Csus2* Cadd9 G
All I wanted
G Dsus4 Cadd9 Csus2* Cadd9
And you can't see when all your dreams are coming true.
Oh yeah, it's easy to forget,
Yeah, and you choke on the regrets, yeah.
Who the hell did I think I was?
(Repeat Riff)

Chorus

Stranger than your sympathy,
And all these thoughts you stole from me.
And I'm not sure where I be-long.
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong

Bridge

And I wasn't all the things
I tried to make believe I was.
And I wouldn't be the one
To kneel before the dreams I wanted
And all the talk,
And all the lies
Were all the empty things disguised as me
(Repeat Riff)
Mmmmm Yeah.  
Stranger than your sympathy,
Stranger than your sympathy,

Ending

Mmmmmmmm-mmmm-mmmmm-mmm-mmm
