B It took me awhile to s A ee things as they were
In the light of t E ruth, it wasn't you, it was B me
I let myself get used to d A rowning in the hurt
Against the w E all, who'd of thought, it was B me
C#m From there I couldn't look o A ver my sh E oulder
C#m I kicked down all the walls and s B tarted all over
Chorus:
And I don't p E aint my F#m self G#m into c A orners anymore
In a E brittle heart of clay I threw my b B rushes away
The E tools of the F#m trade that c G#m hained your m C#m emory to me
Are out the d A oor
A(one strum) E
I don't paint myself into corners anymore
E A E A B When you left you left me with no A other choice all
But to s E ink, to my knees, and B cry
I never knew just how A far a soul could fall
Like a r E ock, couldn't stop, didn't B try
C#m I locked myself behind s A hades of mise E ry
C#m But when I let you go I B set myself free
CHORUS
E A C#m B The E tools of the F#m trade that c G#m hained your m C#m emory to me
Are out the d A oor
A(one strum) E
I don't paint myself into corners anymore

Note-If you're new and you don't like bar chords much you could probably
play this song without the F#m and G#m in the chorus by just continuing to
strum the E. It wouldn't make that big a difference to the song.
