[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
