D                            C

 Once upon a time a stutter disgusted me
Eb                                    F            C       D

muttered distrust at me, pity you couldn’t fly
D                            C

I’ve only ever taken what’s mine
Eb                                    F             C   
   
So what if I help you, I’m helping myself, too?

D                            C

Twice I got the wind knocked out of me, why?
Eb                                                F  
               C      

Just to curl up and die? No, I’ve got too much pride.
    D                         C

So I breathe it in then let it out slow,
       Eb                              F            C  
    
When I turn to go, find you falling behind.

 Gm      Bb  Dm                 C      Gm

I fought for every last inch that I got
Bb  Dm                  C          Gm 

Forgive me for leaving my spot
Bb  Dm              C                Gm           Bb

Not standing in w8 while you finish the race
                 Dm                                D

with those two broken legs you’ve got.

D                       F

One thing’s for sure…
              Gm               Bb                      D

If I were you I never would have let it stop me,
D          C      D

I never have before.
                Bb                       Dm                              Gm   

And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you, 
                         F

you’d thank me!


                                     Bb              C                         F 

You’d get down on one knee, no matter how much it hurt
      Eb                 Bb              C                         F      Eb

And you would say “I’m sorry”, but I would say it first…

D                                     C  
                    
Once, the two of us were eye for an eye
              Eb                   F                      C    D

Now I’ve given up trying how could I be so blind?
D                           C 

You’ll never let me settle the score
   Eb                                        F             C

To you I’m the scourge, not the partner in crime

Gm      Bb  Dm                 C      Gm

I fought for every last one of you schmucks!
Bb  Dm                  C          Gm

I might as well have saved my luck
Bb  Dm              C                Gm           Bb

Not wasted it all on some shortsighted, know-it-all
                 Dm                                D

so-called friends, you’re not.

D                       F

One thing’s for sure…
              Gm               Bb                      D

If I were you I never would have let it stop me,
D          C      D

I never have before.
                Bb                       Dm                              Gm   

And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you, 
                         F

you’d thank me!

                            Bb              C                         F

You’d find me in a dream, on some uncharted map
   Eb                 Bb              C                                  F      Eb

And I would say I’m sorry, and you would want me back…

D                                     C                                  Eb

 Once the world was just a web and a spider, and so was I.
   F            C         D

 A liar in a dress of white.
