So this is what I get for trying to be nice
Like its the only time I've ever cared
E C#m
These blank walls make me sick
A
Like excuses made up quick
E C#m A
I'd move forward if I only could
E C#m A
I'd like to thank you for this effort
E C#m A
It left me barely breathing on this stretcher
A C#m B A C#m
We'll work things out in the end
B A
But we'll still be far from friends
C#m B
Take my hand, run it through your hair again
A C#m B
I'll just pretend you're someone else
A
It's what I always did
C#m E B E F#m
I'm not gonna force it if it doesn't fit
A B
I'm not supposed to feel like this

A B
Empty days and lonely nights
C#m
Provide a blueprint for the things I write
A B
So when people ask me, I know just what to say
E
The thought of you helps me wake up every day
A B
And I don't believe in fate (IN FATE)

The only fate is the fate you make (YOU MAKE)
A B E
So I'll keep my nose to the grindstone
A B
Cause that's all that I can do
C#m
I've got good friends that help me too
A B E
And someday I will get back to you
Outro: C#m B A A
C#m B
On the back of my hand is the number she wrote
A
I'll call her when my whole world goes up in smoke
C#m B
Until then I'll wonder what could have been
A
Cause everything works itself out in the end
