D 
Always beginning 
D 
Oh, how the end is taunting us 
    Bm                   A 
And now these broken promises begin to show 
   D                     D                              Bm 
It may be misfortune or maybe we just failed to see our own 
            A 
Lack of ambition

D 
Stabbed with my sharp words 
     D                                     Bm 
They rustle through your ears and out your eyes 
                       A 
In a look that I can't recognize 
   D                              D 
So I asked for forgiveness, but I played that card last week 
           Bm                          A 
So here we are and my sorry eyes won't get me far 
 

 
Gmaj7 
Everybody turned their back on me 
D 
I don't ever want, I don't ever wanna be 
Gmaj7 
Lonely in your arms, carried 
D                                     A 
I don't ever want, I don't ever wanna be 
A 
The weight on your shoulders

   D 
My doubts, they are frequent 
 D                                   Bm                A 
Upon the routes I've traveled on and paved false realities 
    D 
And aren't we all somewhat the same 
D 
Once we were not sure 
   Bm 
Convinced that we'd do greater things 
    A 
The chance just never surfaced 

{Chorus} 

Gmaj7 
Everybody turned their back on me 
D 
I don't ever want, I don't ever wanna be 
Gmaj7 
Lonely in your arms, carried 
D                                     A 
I don't ever want, I don't ever wanna be 
A 
The weight on your shoulders

Gmaj7 
Everybody turned their back on me

I don't ever want, I don't ever wanna be 
Gmaj7 
Lonely in your arms, carried 
D                                     A 
I don't ever want, I don't ever wanna be 
A 
The weight on your shoulders
