[Verse 1]
D       Em                     G
So you closed your eyes in the morning
D            Em                    G
You said you want to start smoking again
D                      Em
You said you had that dream last night
G
Of the stranger in your room
D            Em                         G
You said you want to start making new friends
     Em             A
Well I'd found some peace
     Em        A
And you want release
                           D
You must be stronger than me
 
[Refrain]
D
I don't know how you can take it
   D
Invest your heart and then you break it
G                G/F#           Em
I don't know how you can set it free
                           D
You must be stronger than me
D
Set it up but it's not perfect
D
Tear it down 'cause it's not worth it
     Bm              A             G
If someone else can light your mystery
                           D
They must be stronger than me

[Verse 2]
D     Em                G
So I closed my eyes at midnight
D      Em           G
Cinderella must go home
D                 Em
But the map was burned
         G
And I've taken a wrong turn
 D     Em            G
And I found myself alone
Em                A
I'm tired of this war
Em                        A
I don't want to fight no more

You must be stronger than me

So it's too late then

You could have told me when

Living died and passion lied

Now you're a refugee

Well if it's what you need
 G                            Em
