C   Am   Em   Am 

C 
I wasnt born this way 
Am 
I been living a lie they say 
Em                                                      Am 
Somebody brought me to my knees well, I had everything 
F

Am      Em     Am 

C 
The thing I was craving 
Am 
Was some kind of lady 
Em 
So I might find a friend 
Am                             F                                                          
                                    C             Am 
and all the aching in my muscles as they hurt oh wont you put my hands to work to ease  
my mind

And you realise in a moments grace 
                    C                                    F 
you've been unravelling the fabric of your coat 
            G 
And you pick a line down the wall and trace 
         Am 
till the end 
                    F                                                             C 
and when you walk back sorry with a fallen body like you should 
    Em                   Am 
no i am not gonna die this way 

C   Am   Em   Am 

C 
Maybe it was was the mould you see 
Am 
that was knocking the wall in me 
Em 
that I forgot just what it was that 
Am                                     F 
i had needed to be for all the time id given 
                                                 C          Am 
maybe i forgot what living was now for 

           G 
and you realise in a moments grace 
                     C                                     F 
you might just already be onto something good 
             G 
and you pick a line on a call and trace 
                  Am 
because you can 
                 F 
and when it comes back heavy 
            F                                    C 
youll be more than ready like you should 
         Em                   Am 
Cause i am not gonna die this way 

Am   C    Am    C    Am 

C 
Through a crack in the road it sprung 
Am 
a seedling warm and young 
Em 
stretching out for the sun 
Am 
its almost in Im giddy 
F 
For this time I might be winning 
       F                                                   C 
as the moving lights that time of year lay still 
                F                                        G                                
              Am 
and as my body changes pace I seem to know again that Im not gonna die this way 
       F                                                        C 
oh Ill hold my misses in a bed of kisses like I should 
          Em                 Am 
Cause I am not gonna die this way
