Intro-AVerse 1A
Well I'm thinking back
On the damage you've done
E
And I knew I couldn't reason with you
So I had to run
D
And I ran so far
Fought hard
AE
To start my life again
A
And I guess my mind must be a special kind of garden
E
Cos you planted your shit seeds
But they didn't stay rotten
D
No they blossomed into flowers
In my brain
AE

Take a minute, look back on those days
EA
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
EA job well done

But everybody's got a claim
E
When it comes to being paid
A
For a job well done.
Verse 2A
Now I'm not allowed to tell it
So Ill write it in a song
E
And I know that when you hear it
You'll say that I'm wrong
D
Cos a man like you
Is blind to the truth
AE
Your life's a fucking lie
A
And all those stories you been telling yourself
E
When you look at my albums lining up on your shelf

All the various reasons I owe you, I know you,

Verse 3A
Well I'm working real hard
Trying to make it make sense
E
And I'm looking at my life
And I'm making amends
D
For every word I never said
Every thought in my head
AE
I was so misled
A
And nothing you say could ever right these wrongs

And I tell myself its worth it
Cos I got this song

But its little consolation
For the tears and frustration

The years I wasted on
