                     C#m
I've got another confession to make
           A
I'm your fool
                       C#m
Everyone's got their chains to break
         A
Holdin' you
                    B           A
Were you born to resist or be abused?
                       C#m
Is someone getting the best,
               B                A
the best, the best, the best of you?
                       C#m
Is someone getting the best,
               B                A
the best, the best, the best of you?

C#m              B             A
Are you gone and onto someone new?
                       C#m
I needed somewhere to hang my head
              A
Without your noose
                          C#m
You gave me something that I didn't have
           A
But had no use
                       B
I was too weak to give in
               A
Too strong to lose
                    C#m
My heart is under arrest again
             A
But I break loose
                     C#m
My head is giving me life or death
              A
But I can't choose
                    B
I swear I'll never give in
     A
I refuse

Chorus:
                       C#m
Is someone getting the best, the best,
     B                  A  F#m
the best, the best of you?
                       C#m
Is someone getting the best
               B                 A  F#m,
the best, the best, the best of you?
                        C#m
Has someone taken your faith?
                B
It's real, the pain you feel
      A
You trust, you must
   F#m
Confess
                       C#m
Is someone getting the best, the best,
     B                  A  F#m
the best, the best of you?

                       C#m
Has someone taken your faith?
                B
It's real, the pain you feel
     A
The life, the love
    F#m
You die to heal
     C#m
The hope that starts
      B
The broken hearts
      A
You trust, you must
    F#m
Confess

                       C#m
Is someone getting the best, the best,
     B                  A  F#m
the best, the best of you?
                       C#m
Is someone getting the best, the best,
     B                  A  F#m
the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new
Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Chorus:
Is someone getting the best, the best,
the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best,
the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best,
the best, the best of you?
Oh...
