Intro: Cadd9 Em7 *D G (2X)
 
 
Cadd9     Em7         D      G
Stranger than your sympathy
    Cadd9   Em7   D    G
And this is my apolo-gy
  Cadd9  Em7              D      G
I killed myself from the inside out
      Cadd9   Em7         D            G
And all my fears have pushed you out
 
G                       D                Cadd9 (hammer)
And I wished for things that I don't need
       G
(All I wanted)
G                D                         Cadd9 (hammer)
And what I chased won't set me free
       G
(All I wanted)
G              D                         Em
And I get scared but I'm not crawlin' on my knees
 
Cadd9
Oh, yeah
Em                            Cadd9
Everything's all wrong, yeah
Em                 D          Cadd9
Everything's all wrong, yeah
 Em                       Cadd9
Where the hell did I think I was?
 
Riff
 
       Cadd9    Em7        D      G
And stranger than your sympathy
Cadd9         Em7        D       G
Take these things, so I don't feel
      Cadd9   Em7               D        G
I'm killing myself from the inside out
       Cadd9    Em7             D           G
And now my head's been filled with doubt
 
 
G                                  D          Cadd9 (Hammer)
We're taught to lead the life you choose
G
(All I wanted)
G                     D                 Cadd9 (Hammer)
You know your love's run out on you
G
(All I wanted)
G                  D                            Em
And you can't see when all your dreams aren't coming true
 
Cadd9
Oh, yeah
Em                       Cadd9
It's easy to forget, yeah
Em                  D                      Cadd9
When you choke on the regrets, yeah
Em                     Cadd9
Who the hell did I think I was?
 
Riff
 
Cadd9            Em7        D       G
And stranger than your sympathy
Cadd9            Em7        D                G
And all these thoughts you stole from me
      Cadd9     Em7        D       G
And I'm not sure where I be-long
Cadd9            Em7        D              G
And no where's home and no more wrong
 
 
  Em                           D
And I was in love with things 
  G                             A
I tried to make you believe I was
Em                            D
And I wouldn't be the one to 
G                              A
kneel before the dreams I wanted
Bm                             C                      Bm          C
And all the dark and all the lies were all the empty things 
C on 3rd Fret
disguised as me
 
Riff
 
Cadd9  Em7    D   G
Mmm, yeah
Cadd9     Em7        D       G
Stranger than your sympathy
Cadd9      Em7        D       G
Stranger than your sympathy
Cadd9    Em7   D       G
Mmm hmmm mmm

The lyrics (and some chords) in the bridge are incorrect. Em7 G/C And I wasn't all the things G D I tried to make believe I was Em7 G/C G And I wouldn't be the one to kneel Bm Before the dreams I wanted Bm Cadd9 And all the talk and all the lies Bm Cadd9 D Dsus4 D Were all the empty things disguised as me

Lack of accuracy. Clearly wrong. Incorrect lyrics and inaccurate chords. There are several versions of this song on the site and most are very inaccurate unfortunately.
