Cant Catch Up

G                   D
I can't catch up to you
                        Am
You've already gone too far

And you don't remember
     C               D
Who you are or who I am.
  G                   D
I can't catch up with you
                        Am
You're way up ahead of me
                           C
And you're getting harder see
   D                  G
Everyday as you run away.

        G
You're cutting lines out on a bible
            D
Too busy dying to stop and live.
           Am
You done gave up on survival
         C                 D
You gave all that you can give.
            G
And I sure wish you would come back home
          D
Nothing else for you to prove.
            Am
I know you try real hard to make your mark
           C                       D
But that world don't love you the way I do.

[CHORUS]

G                   D
I can't catch up to you
                        Am
You've already gone too far

And you don't remember
     C               D
Who you are or who I am.
  G                   D
I can't catch up with you
                       Am
You're way up ahead of me
                           C
And you're getting harder see
   D                  G
Everyday as you run away.

G
There just ain't no coming down
            D
When there ain't no one around
          Am
And your head still makes that sound
       C                   D
And I watch it drive you crazy.

G
Your mama's saying prayers
D
Pleading with the man upstairs
Am
You feel like no one cares
       C                   D
And I watch it drive you crazy.
G                    D
You run run run run hiding from the sun
Am
And I know you wanna turn around
C                          D
But there's nothing I can do.

[Chorus]

G                   D
I can't catch up to you
                        Am
You've already gone too far

And you don't remember
     C               D
Who you are or who I am.
  G                   D
I can't catch up with you
                        Am
You're way up ahead of me
                           C
And you're getting harder see
   D                  G
Everyday as you run away.


G
These demons behind their faces
D
You know the lies they tell are true
Am
You paint yourself into a corner
C                        D
And you chose the color blue.
G
And you look for inspiration
D
In the dark where the sickness lives
Am
And you're stumbling over your own two feet
C                                      D
And you're headed for the edge of a cliff.


[Chorus]

G                   D
I can't catch up to you
                        Am
You've already gone too far

And you don't remember
     C               D
Who you are or who I am.
  G                   D
I can't catch up with you
                        Am
You're way up ahead of me
                           C
And you're getting harder see
   D                  G
Everyday as you run away.


G
I watch you stumble watch you fall
D
And I just can't seem to help at all.
Am                             C                    D
And I feel... I feel like I'm wasting my time with you.
G                            D
And I know the way you feel been there myself
Am
And I just don't wanna see your plan
C                             D
And I don't wanna see you go through hell.
G
I know it hurts, I know it stabs
D
And I know it makes you feel real bad.
Am                              C             D
Feel those things that are going on
G
Inside your head and make your eyes
D
Bloody red and I sympathize
Am
Cuz I know the way you are
C                        D
And I know you won't get far.
