[Verse 1]
                          C
I'm getting closer to the truth
                F
Farther from my youth
            G
Who am I to hide
                 C   G
Or look for an excuse
C                         C
I'm drawing pictures of a tear
               F
Falling down a face
                    G
I'm gonna draw it until
            C    G  C
I can cry myself

[Chorus]
           F
Don't look back
           F
Don't look back
                F
There's an ugly past
          G
Following you

[Verse 2]
                          C
I'm getting closer to the truth
                F
Farther from my youth
            G
Who am I to hide
                 C   G
Or look for an excuse
C                         C
I'm drawing pictures of a tear
               F
Falling down a face
                    G
I'm gonna draw it until
            C    G  C
I can cry myself

[Chorus]
             F
Swallow your pride
             F
Swallow your pride
                    F
If you can get your mouth open
     G
that wide

[Verse 3]
                          C
I'm getting closer to the end
          F
Of this cassette
             G
I'm getting closer
                   C   G
I'm getting closer yet
C                         C
I'm getting closer to the end
       F
Of an era
                 G
Started my life again
      C  G  C
Ay-ay-ay

[Outro]
           F
Don't look back
           F
Don't look back
           F
Don't look back
           F
Don't look back
           F
Don't look back
           F
Don't look back
           F
Don't look back
           F
Don't look back
