Intro
--- x2
Verse
Well now I found myself
Wish I was someone else
My hands are stained with love
Wish I could take it away
I hang behind the shell
In time the pain will melt
My heart is stained with love
Wish I could fake it
Chorus
I gave my life away
Theres nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your way ^(start verse picking here)
You take it in your way
Verse
My selfish enemy
Still has the best of me
Empty and feeling numb
Wish I could take it away
I cant control the need
To weak to not concede
Wish I was deaf and dumb
Wish I could fake it
Chorus
I gave my life away
Theres nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your way x2 (continue chorus strumming til verse)
Bridge
I cant pretend were the same
I cant pretend were the same
I cant pretend were the same

Theres nothing left to say
I gave my life away
