Intro G C G C 

Verse 

 G 
I've been written off so many times before 
         C 
I've forgotten what it feels like to succeed anymore 
G                
Always on the sidelines, waiting in the wings 
          C 
When the curtain finally falls, I'm never on the screen 


Pre-Chorus 

      G 
And I've got the scars to prove I've been there 
 C 
I've got the marks from when I tried 
 Em 
I've covered miles and miles to get here 
C 
Only for you to cast me aside 

G Em C But I'll still run, run like the wiiiiinnnnd G Em C And I'll still start, all over agaaaaaiiiin G I gave it all, cause I had to make it Em C I gave it all, cause I had to try G I sacrificed my close relations Em C For the chance to say I tried
Verse G I've never learned to win, I don't know what it means C I lost myself when we were young, I'm fighting just to feel G Always on the edge, I just want to make my name C I'd love to show the world what I gave up for the game Pre-Chorus G And I've got the scars to prove I've been there C I've got the marks from when I tried Em I've covered miles and miles to get here C Only for you to cast me aside
G Em C But I'll still run, run like the wiiiiinnnnd G Em C And I'll still start, all over agaaaaaiiiin G I gave it all, cause I had to make it Em C I gave it all, cause I had to try G I sacrificed my close relations Em C For the chance to say I tried
Bridge G C And I've got the scars to prove I've been there G D I've got the marks from when I tried G C I've covered miles and miles to get here G D Only for you to cast me aside G C And I've got the scars to prove I've been there G D I've got the marks from when I tried G C I've covered miles and miles to get here G D Only for you to cast me aside
