Capo 3 

Intro : G x2 

 G                             Em 
I've got regrets too blue to mention 
       Em7                  G            D 
and I sold myself with the image of perfection 
 G 
I've heard the truth will out 
 Em 
but I've always had my doubts 
 Em7                   D 
Now I'm paying for deception 

 Em                 D                G 
So cast me like a stone against the rocks, 
            Em            Em7 
Reveal a cross-section of all my wrongs; 
     D           G 
my every flaw exposed, 
           Em7 
and I'll weather them: 
      Em                 D               G 
I'll chase the storm of hate and lost respect 
                               Em7 
'til I'm a better man, I won't rest 
                              D 
I won't let go of what I've done 
 (Muted Strumming) 
I'll let it shape what I become 


Instrumental: Em  Em7  G  D 

 G                  Em 
By my actions I'm defined, 
                          Em7 
so let the words I write remind me 
                 G         D 
I am capable of hurt, and worse 
       G           Em                    Em7 
I am immovable; a blunted instrument for now 
              D 
and I would change if I knew how 


 Em                 D                G 
So cast me like a stone against the rocks, 
            Em            Em7 
Reveal a cross-section of all my wrongs; 
     D           G 
my every flaw exposed, 
           Em7 
and I'll weather them: 
      Em                 D               G 
I'll chase the storm of hate and lost respect 
                               Em7 
'til I'm a better man, I won't rest 
                              D 
I won't let go of what I've done 

I'll let it shape what I become 


Instrumental: Em  Em7  G  D 

 Em                          Em7 
The anger burns but doesn't hurt 
                       G 
it doesn't scorch the badge I chose to wear 
       D 
just empties me 
 Em                     Em7 
Depression calls and I awake 
                                   G 
To shut it out is choosing not to care 
    Em 
To look upon the emptiness 
   D 
- to see myself - 
                    Em 
is more than I can bear 


Instrumental: Em x2 (getting quieter) 

(Quiet, soft strumming) 
Em                 D                G 
So cast me like a stone against the rocks, 
            Em            Em7 
Reveal a cross-section of all my wrongs; 
     D           G 
my every flaw exposed, 
(Getting louder)Em7 
and I'll weather them: 
      Em                 D               G 
I'll chase the storm of hate and lost respect 
                               Em7 
'til I'm a better man, I won't rest 
                              D x2 
I won't let go of what I've done 


Em                 D                G 
So cast me like a stone against the rocks, 
            Em            Em7 
Reveal a cross-section of all my wrongs; 
     D           G 
my every flaw exposed, 
           Em7 
and I'll weather them: 
      Em                 D               G 
I'll chase the storm of hate and lost respect 
                               Em7 
'til I'm a better man, I won't rest 
                              D 
I won't let go of what I've done 
                           G 
I'll let it shape what I become
