C
And I know that way too well
G C
Brought down by somebody else's lack of education
Em
Shouldn't be you that it hurts
G C
But I took all the advice that I could take
C
Before I thought to give up
G C Em
Hey yay yay I bet you thought I'd give up

These are the lies you gotta believe
C
They'll give you everything to lose if you disagree
G
Apologies are over used
C

Too lonely to survive the loss that was staring back with bloodshot eyes

I was a failure, a failure, but not matter how low

You can't back down kid... back down kid
G
Oh Oh Oh... Oh Oh Oh...
C
You can't back out now

Oh Oh Oh... Oh Oh Oh...
C
You can't back down kid... back down kid
G
Oh Oh Oh... Oh Oh Oh...
C
You can't back out now... back out now
Em C
