This is my own version of this song, I prefer to have the capo on the 2nd fret
but really it depends on what you are comfortable with :)
enjoy!

[Verse 1]
G
Young and strong, the voice of my father said,
C
"Don't give up, don't be forgotten."
Em
It's hell on earth.
G Em
I just wanna run away.
G
They told me dreams don't grow from here.
C
Stay alone.
Em
Count your fears.
G Em
Somewhere down the line I might figure it out.
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
Singing all my songs,
Am Em
To bedroom walls.

Deep inside my heart,
Am
I'm still here.
[Chorus]

We're always running away.

[Verse 2]
G
What made me tough, almost killed me.

At least that's how I remember the story.
Em
Over the years
C
I've forgotten how it was.

But I survived, and I won't walk down
C
The same old road that they all follow.
Em D C
It only leads to a life not meant for me.

Singing all my songs,

To bedroom walls.

Deep inside my heart,
