[Verse 1]
C Em D C Em D C
I'm running out of grace just dealing with myself
Em D C Em D C
I've fallen right in line with this whole world that's gone to hell
Em D C Em D C
My patience all but gone, there's nothing left to take
Em D C Em D C
(open strum)
And nothing I can do that makes a difference anyways
[Chorus]
C Em G D C
You would think it would be easier the second time around
C Em G D C
I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down
[Verse 2]
Em D C Em D C
I'm running out of breath from fighting way too much
Em D C Em D C
And trying way too hard to just outrun who I once was
Em D C Em D C
I'm giving up the hope 'cause here is where I break
Em D C Em D C
So bring on all the fallout from the choices I have made
[Chorus]
C Em G D C
You would think it would be easier the second time around
C Em G D C
I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down
[Bridge]
D C Em
And all this time, keeping me in check
Am
Just kick me when I'm down because it hurts a little less
D C Em
And all I know are all my mistakes
Am
But once again I'll watch all that I love just slip away
[Chorus]
C Em G D C
You would think it would be easier the second time around
C Em G D C
I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down
C Em G D C
You would think by now I'd figure out what I was doing wrong
C Em G D C
And all the reasons that escape me now are reasons I'm alone
