    [Intro]
 
F  C  E C  F
 
[Verse 1]
 
F                                    G
I know what it's like to think about everybody else
              Em                             F
And wonder if anybody else is thinking 'bout me
F                                    G
I know what it's like to hold a weight so deep in yourself
      Em                             F
You wonder if anybody else could ever carry
F
The pain of it
F                   Fm               Dm
The rage of what it takes to just be awake
 
[Chorus]
 
C
Nobody ever wonders how the strong stay strong
C7
They get what they want and then they move along
F                Dm    G                C
They never think twice about what could be
C
Does anybody wonder when the legends die young
C7
If there's anything that we could have done
F                Dm       Gm         C
To stop a strong one from taking the heat
 
[Verse 2]
 
F
Know what it's like to keep it all in my head
G                                       E
Until my worries like a knife in my chest
C                                  F
Split me open while I'm lying in bed
F
What else am I gonna have to lose
G
What other magic tricks will I have to do
Em       E                       F
Until I finally have nothing to prove
F
The pain of it
F                   Fm               Dm
The rage of what it takes to just be awake
 
[Chorus]
 
C
Nobody ever wonders how the strong stay strong
C7
They get what they want and then they move along
F                Dm    G                C
They never think twice about what could be
C
Does anybody wonder when the legends die young
C7
If there's anything that we could have done
F                Dm       Gm         C
To stop a strong one from taking the heat

They never think twice about what could be

C7
If there's anything that we could have done
F                Dm                  C
