At (F)Who am I to blame you

for (Bbmaj7)doubt ing what you feel?

You (Dm)I was al ways (C)reach ing.

and (Bbmaj7)You were just a (F)girl (C)I (Dm)knew.

I took for (Am7)grant ed

the (Bb)friend I have in (Asus)you.

I was liv ing for (D)a dream,

lov ing for a (A)mo ment.

Tak ing on (D)the world,
