 Lyrics..
 x2
Sorry  Im not out  tonight, my pockets  feel like holes
 I've got nothing  I can offer  you as I sit  here in the cold
 It's a story  I've been telling  for longer  than I know
Where  did all  my riches go?
 Fill
 x2
 An inquest  I am scared  of cos I  don't wanna know and I've been
Walking  off my worries hoping  they won't follow me
Around  and around  and around
 But they always  find me
 And I say
Why  won't you leave me alone?
Why  won't you leave me alone?
 Fill
 x4
 I'm terrified  of answers  so I chose  just not to ask
 Surely everything  is easier  when you leave  it in the past
 And I know that  I've been waking  almost every  single night
Dripping  wet with deep  regret locked in  this endless fight
 And I am falling faster  to the ground
Punched  at every corner  with my arms  securely bound
 And I am waiting  for existence  to hold  me by the hand
Explain  that all's not lost  for me and make  me understand that I am free
Make  me understand that I am free
Make  me understand
 Fill
 x2
 My panic  gets the upper  hand as it tackles  with me breath
 And I can see  this is no playground  fight it's a battle  to the death
 And I am choking  on the concrete  with my face  pressed to the floor
   N/C
 The bastards won't defeat me can't you hear me scream for more.
 And I am falling faster  to the ground
Punched  at every corner  with my arms  securely bound
 And I am waiting  for existence  to hold  me by the hand
Explain  that all's not lost  for me and make  me understand that I am free
Make  me understand that I am free
Make  me understand that I am free
Make  me understand that I am free
Make  me understand
 Enjoy!! =

Lyrics..

[G] [Em7] [Cadd9] [Cadd9] x2

[G]Sorry Im not [Em7]out tonight, my [Cadd9]pockets feel like holes
I've got [G]nothing I can [Em7]offer you as I [Cadd9]sit here in the cold
It's a [G]story I've been [Em7]telling for [Cadd9]longer than I know
[Am]Where did [C]all my riches go?

Fill
[G]   [Em7]   [Cadd9]   [Cadd9]   x2

An [G]inquest I am [Em7]scared of cos [Cadd9]I don't wanna know and I've been
[G]Walking off my [Em7]worries [Cadd9]hoping they won't follow me
[G]Around and [Em7]around and [Cadd9]around
But they [G]always find [Em7]me        [Cadd9]

And I say

[Am]Why won't you leave me [C]alone?
[Am]Why won't you leave me [G]alone?

Fill
[G]   [Em7]   [Cadd9]   [Cadd9]   x4

I'm [G]terrified of [Em7]answers so I [Cadd9]chose just not to ask
Surely [G]everything is [Em7]easier when you [Cadd9]leave it in the past
And I know [G]that I've been [Em7]waking almost [Cadd9]every single night
[G]Dripping wet with [Em7]deep regret locked [Cadd9]in this endless fight

And I am [G]fal[Em7]ling [Cadd9]faster to the ground
[G]Punched at every [Em7]corner with my [Cadd9]arms securely bound
And I am [G]waiting for [Em7]existence to [Cadd9]hold me by the hand
[G]Explain that all's not [Em7]lost for me and [Cadd9]make me understand that I am [Am]free

[Cadd9]Make me understand that I am [Am]free
[Cadd9]Make me understa[G]nd

Fill
[G]    [Em7]   [Cadd9]   [Cadd9]   x2

My [G]panic gets the [Em7]upper hand as it [Cadd9]tackles with me breath
And I can [G]see this is no [Em7]playground fight it's a [Cadd9]battle to the death
And I am [G]choking on the [Em7]concrete with my [Cadd9]face pressed to the floor
    [G]              N/C
The bastards won't defeat me can't you hear me scream for more.

And I am [G]fal[Em7]ling [Cadd9]faster to the ground
[G]Punched at every [Em7]corner with my [Cadd9]arms securely bound
And I am [G]waiting for [Em7]existence to [Cadd9]hold me by the hand
[G]Explain that all's not [Em7]lost for me and [Cadd9]make me understand that I am [Am]free

[C]Make me understand that I am [Am]free
[C]Make me understand that I am [Am]free
[C]Make me understand that I am [Am]free
[C]Make me understand

Enjoy!! =[D]
