Well I don't know what to say
Because there's truth to what you say
I know it kills you Im this way
There's something different every day
Could It Be that
I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could It Be that
My habit is to find a place to hide
Could It Be that
Sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could It Be that
Im only being me?
Not easy living in my mind
A little peace is hard to find
My every thought is undermined
By all the history inside
Could It Be that
I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could It Be that
My habit is to find a place to hide
Could It Be that
Sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could It Be that
Im only being me?
I know I hear the words you said
Over and over again
I just can't get them through my head
There's just too many voices
Must be like living with the dead
Waiting for me to begin
To do the things I have said
And for this Im sorry
So there's some truth to what you say
Could It Be that
I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could It Be that
My habit is to find a place to hide
Could It Be that
Sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could It Be that
Im only being me?

As far as I can tell, this is tuned in the typical staind setting except without a
D (Db). I mean it is standard E tuning with everything lowered 1 half step. I know this
aren't perfect (especially since I figured them out on my acoustic), but this sounds very close...
You can play either D or Dsus; sometimes it's better to uses the Dsus because he sings
G, but either should work fine
Dsus {X O O 2 3 3}
