G I've been written off so many times before C I've forgotten what it feels like to succeed anymore G Always on the sidelines, waiting in the wings C When the curtain finally falls, I'm never on the screen G And I've got the scars to prove I've been there C I've got the marks from when I tried Em I've covered miles and miles to get here C Only for you to cast me aside Chorus: G Em C But I'll still run, run like the wind G Em C And I'll still start, all over again G I gave it all, cause I had to make it Em C I gave it all, cause I had to try G I sacrificed my close relations Em C For the chance to say I tried I've never learned to win, don't know what it means I lost myself when we were young, I'm fighting just to feel Always on the edge, I just want to make my name I'd love to show the world what I gave up for the game And I've got the scars to prove I've been there I've got the marks from when I tried I've covered miles and miles to get here Only for you to cast me aside Chorus G C And I've got the scars to prove I've been there G D I've got the marks from when I tried G C I've covered miles and miles to get here G D Only for you to cast me aside G C And I've got the scars to prove I've been there G D I've got the marks from when I tried G C I've covered miles and miles to get here G D Only for you to cast me aside Chorus - x2 | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
