	        D#                                     C#
you'll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did..
D#                                       C#
I'll be happy right? when your healing powers kick in
D#                                          C#
you'll complete me right? then my life can finally begin
D#                                    C#
I'll be worthy right? only when you realize the gem I am?

D#                  G#       C#          D#
but this won't work now the way it once did
D#                  G#        C#             D#
and I won't keep it up even though I would love to
D#                   G#             C#       D#
once I know who I'm not then  I'll know who I am
D#                   G#             C#     D#
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim

D#               C#             G#                   D#                C#
these precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless
                  G#                       F#                D#
and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends

D#                             C#
this ring will me yet as will you knight in shining armor
D#                                    C#
this pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water

D#                       G#         C#          D#                      
but this won't work as well as the way it once did
D#                G#            C#     D#
cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
D#                        G#                 C#        D#
and though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
D#                  G#         C#         D#
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim

D#                 C#            G#                 D#                C#
these precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid
                  G#                       F#                 D#
and parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend

C#              B            F#        D#
I've spent so long firmly looking outside me
C#              B           F#          A#
I've spent so much time living in survival mode

D#                       G#         C#          D#                      
but this won't work as well as the way it once did
D#                G#            C#     D#
cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
D#                        G#                 C#        D#
and though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
D#                  G#         C#         D#
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim

D#                 C#            G#                 D#                C#
these precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid
                  G#                       F#                 D#
and parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend
