3 Doors Down

1. How do you know where you're going
            D                       A
   When you don't know where you've been
                E                     F#mi
   You hide the shame that you're not showing
           D                A
   And you won't let anyone in
             E               F#mi
   A crowded street can be a quiet place
        D              A
   When you're walking alone
               E                     F#mi
   And now you think that you're the only
   D
   One who doesn't

R1: Have to try
                  A
    And you won't have to feel
       F#mi
    If you're afraid to fight
           A               E
    Then I guess you never will
        D      A         E
    You hide behind your walls
       F#mi  E
    Of maybe nevers
    D          A                      E
    Forgetting that there's something more
         F#mi         E
    Than just knowing better
    D       A              E
    Your mistakes do not define you now
         F#mi     E          D
    They tell you who you're not
                  A                     E
    You've got to live this life you're given
                                  A
    Like it's the only one you've got

2. Memories have left you broken
   And the scars have never healed
   The emptiness in you is growing
   But so little left to fill
   You're scared to look back on the days before
   You're too tired to move on
   And now you think that you're the only
   one who doesn't

*: What would it take
                               F#mi A
   To get you to say that I'll try 
       E
   And what would you say if
   D            A                E
   This was the last day of your life
