Linkin Park - By myself

What ^G#mdo I do to ignore them behind me? Do I ^F#follow my instincts blindly? Do I ^C#mhide my pride behind these bad dreams And gi^Eve into sad thoughts that are maddening?

Do I sit h^G#mere and try to stand it? Or do^F# I try to catch them red-handed? Do I ^C#mtrust some and get fooled by phoniness? Or do^E I trust nobody and live in loneliness? ^F#

Because I can^G#m't hold on when I'm stretched so thin I ma^F#ke the right moves but I'm lost within I put^C#m on my daily facade but then. I ju^Est end up Get^F#ting hurt again

By m^G#myself (mysel^Ef) I ask why ^G#m(but in my mind I find) I can^E't rely on mysel^G#mf(myself) I as^Ek why (but in ^G#mmy mind I find) I can^E't rely on myse^G#mlf I can't ho^Eld on (to what I want^C#m when I'm stretched so thin) ^G#mIt's all too m^Euch to ta^C#mke in ^G#mI can't hold ^Eon (to anything watching^C#m everything spin) ^G#mWith thoughts of fa^Eilure si^C#mnking in

If^G#m I turn my back I'm defenseless And^F# to go blindly seems senseless If I h^C#mide my pride and let it all go on (then they'll) Tak^Ee from me till everything is gone

If ^G#mI let them go I'll be outdone (but if I) Try^F# to catch them I'll be outrun If ^C#mI'm killed by the questions like a cancer Then^E I'll be buried in the silence of the answe^F#r

^G#mHow do you think ^F#I've lost so much ^C#mI'm so afraid ^EAnd I'm out of touch ^G#mHow do you expect ^F#I will know what to do ^C#mWhen all I know ^EIs what you tell me to

^G#mDon't you (know) ^EI can't tell you how^G#m to make it (go) ^ENo matter what it do^G#m, how hard I (try) ^EI can't seem to conv^G#mince myself (why) ^EI'm stuck on the outside^G#m
