Verse 1
~~~~~~~
E              F#                       G#m
If shame had a face I think it it would kinda look like mine
E           F#                     G#m
If it had a home would it be in my eyes
E           F#            G#m               E
Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this?
E                    Eb
Well here we go now, one more time...

Chorus 1
~~~~~~~~
G#m                Eb        E                 B     Bb  G#m
'Cause I tried to climb your steps, I tried to chase you down
G#m        Eb      E           B           Bb  G#m 
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
G#m            Eb      E               B    Bb   G#m  
And I tried to earn my way, I tried to tame this mind
G#m          Eb         E              B    Bb
You better believe that I am trying to beat this

Chorus 2
~~~~~~~~
B                      F#             C#            G#m
So where will this end it goes on and on, over and over and over again
B              F#                          C# 
Keeps spinning around I know that It won't stop
            G#m
'Til I step down from this for good

Play riff:

I never thought I'd end up here, never thought I'd be standing where I am
E               F#                           G#m
I guess I kinda thought that it would be easier than this
E                    Eb
I guess I was wrong, now one more time

[Repeat Chorus 1]
