[Verse 1]
C/G
I'd rather walk alone
Am7
Than stand in a row
F9/C
I'd line up everything I own
C/G
Decide what should stay and should go
[Verse 2]
C/G
This life was mine to choose
Am7
Yearning to wander through and through
F9/C
At times I've been battered and bruised
C/G
But I'm still breathing in my youth
[Chorus]
Dm G Am Em
Can't you see I'm sorry that I wasn't better at being who you wanted me to be
Fmaj7/C G C/G
I've been living in lightning for what seems like eternity
[Verse 3]
C/G
You wear these brooding ghosts
Am7
Tighter and tighter round your throat
F9/C
They're weighing you down like a stone
C/G
They might never let you go
[Chorus]
Dm G Am Em
Can't you see I'm sorry that I wasn't better at being who you wanted me to be
Fmaj7/C G Dm G Am Em
I've been living in lightning for what seems like eternity ooooohhhh
Fmaj7/C G C/G
I've been living in lightning for what seems like eternity
