Key: F

Introduction:  E   B   A   B   E   B   A   B  

 E 
Tossed around like sea glass and you rounded out my edges
                     A                                                 B 
I'll feel better when the headaches go away
                 E                                                                 C#m 
I got a scar across my forehead, turning purple in the cold
               A 
From a night at Shore Memorial
             B 
I was 16 and afraid
                 A                                           B 
Turned away, like I'm working baby face
               E               D               A 
Out of Mid-South in the 80's
                   E                                   B 
I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape
                           E                                                           A 
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
                       E                     Dm                           C#m 
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
     G#m         A 
I want to run until my lungs give up
                                                   C#m             E 
If I could manage not to fuck this up
                                                     B 
If I could manage not to fuck this up
                                       A 
I think enough is enough
 E                                                             C#m 
Hidden in the tall grass in the naked light of day
                   A 
I put my past-self in the ground
                       B 
I've been dancing on the grave
                         E 
I'm not the person that I was then
           A                     C#m 
I'm tearing him away
               A 
I was bitter. I was careless
             B 
I was 19 and afraid
 A                               E 
But you deserved more from me
 A                                               F#m 
I don't know why I would say those things
 A                               E                                       B 
But you deserved more from me and I'm trying every day
                           E                                                           A 
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
                       E                     Dm                           C#m 
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
     G#m         A 
I want to run until my lungs give up
                                                   C#m             E 
If I could manage not to fuck this up
                                                     B 
If I could manage not to fuck this up
                                       A 
I think enough is enough
 A 
You left me walking in circles
 C#m               B                       F#m       B 
You were a shot in the dark
 G#m                   C#m                     B 
You were the baby teeth I buried
                           G#m                               B 
You were the sounds of distant cars
                                                 C#m 
You left me walking in circles
                         B                   A 
You were a shot in the dark
                           F#m 
You were the banner that says "No One"
               G#m                               B 
That I tattooed across my heart
 A                                             C#m 
You left me walking in circles
                         B                     A 
You were a shot in the dark
                                             F#m                               E 
You're scattered like ashes across every song that I write
                                     B 
You're where the light pollution starts
                           E                                                           A 
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
                       E                     Dm                           C#m 
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
     G#m         A 
I want to run until my lungs give up
                                                   C#m             E 
If I could manage not to fuck this up
                                                     B 
If I could manage not to fuck this up
 E                   A 
Enough is enough
