[Primeira Parte]

                  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

[Segunda Parte]

                         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

[Refrão]

           Dm         G         Am                Em
Can't you see I'm sorry that I wasn't better at being who you wanted me to be
          F7M/C               G                      C/G
I've been living in lightning for what seems like eternity

[Terceira Parte]

                         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

[Refrão]

                   Dm            G   
Can't you see I'm sorry that I wasn't 
           Am                        Em
Better at being who you wanted me to be
         F7M/C              

I've been living in lightning 
  G                     Dm      
For what seems like eternity    
G    Am      Em
  ooooohhhh
         F7M/C             
I've been living in lightning 
   G                      C/G
For what seems like eternity
