But you took your toll on me; so I (Dm)gave my self o ver will ing (Em7)ly. You got a hold on me; I don’t know how I don’t just stand out side and (Em7)scream. I am (Dm)teach ing my self how to be free. The mon u ment of a (Am)mem o ry, you tear it down in your head. Don’t make the moun tain your en e my; get out, get up there it’s in stead. your hands.
