Written by Hawthorne Heights/James Thomas Woodruff
Verse 1:
G The places I remember are getting worn and withered D/F# My heart is the picket fences and needs a little mending C am I not everything you D thought I should be?Verse 2:
G The faces in the picture are burnt just like the real ones D/F# Our skin is the exposure it's gotten so much older C But am I not everything D you thought I could be?Pre-Chorus
Am This life long competition C still reeks of repetition G I've failed at everything D/F# I tried to do my life Am plays in front of you And now I've realized Bm there's nothing left for me to hide I've C opened myself enough D for the world to see my gutsG D Where are you now? and F Em F C where have you been? G Everything and everyone D Everything and everyone F C D Must come to an endVerse 3:
G The children in the school yard have grown so cold and D/F# tired The shift is almost over I'm praying I don't get fired C Life isn't everything D I thought it should beVerse 4:
G The bills left on the table will be payed if I was able to D/F# Work a few more hours my life has grown so sour C Because I'm not everything D I thought I could bePre-Chorus
Am This life long competition C still reeks of repetition G I've failed at everything D/F# I tried to do my life Am plays in front of you And now I've realized Bm there's nothing left for me to hide I've C opened myself enough D for the world to see my gutsOutro: G The places I remember are getting worn and withered D/F# My heart is the picket fences and needs a little mending C am I not everything you D G thought I should be?G D Where are you now? and F Em F C where have you been? G Everything and everyone D Everything and everyone F C D Must come to an end
