Verse:
[D]I really wi[A]wish it never ca[Gadd9]came to this
[D]I wish it d[A]didn't feel lik[Gadd9]like I was starting over again

[D]Someone w[A]waiting to c[Gadd9]catch me on the other side
[D]Am I dela[A]delaying the in[Gadd9]inevitable?
[D]Am I runn[A]running out of [D]time?
Chorus:
[Gadd9]You cannot i[A]isolate me [Bm7]past the walls that [A]I have built
[Gadd9]So send your condole[A]nce cards, thinking I[Bm7]'ve been held a[A]gainst my will
[Gadd9]It's better; [A]you believing I'm [Bm7]fighting for some [A]greater good, I know
[Gadd9]I know that I[A]I believe in nothin[Bm7]nothing and that I like [A]being alone

[D]Four hours [A]in the target p[Gadd9]parking lot
[D]Contemplating mental [A]brands still [Gadd9]burning hot
I hope that [D]one day the w[A]weight of my [Gadd9]body in these seats
[D]Will fe[A]feel just[Gadd9]just right
But for n[D]ow, the A[A]C's alway[Gadd9]s too cold
And the h[D]heat in winte[A]winter melts the [Gadd9]skin off of my bones
And I've [D]started to i[A]ignore the ch[Gadd9]check engine light
In hopes [D]that a break[A]breakdown might g[D]give me a sign, oh
