F 
I�ve been practicing all day  
Dm				 D# 
Now the words I meant to say are gone  
F 
I promised that I wouldn�t cry  
Dm			     D# 
Told myself I had to try and hold on  
     Gm       F 
The truth, I lied  
   C#    D#     Gm 
I hate myself inside 
     F  
And why  
    C#                 D# 
I played the game and paid the price  
     
        
F             C 
I never look back  
         Dm               Bb 
I never cry never try to wonder why  
F             C 
I�ll be on my own  
               Dm                Bb 
And never doubt, never shout or wonder how  
F              C 
I�ll never be lonely until  
Dm                         Bb 
This time, this time, this time  
This time I will  
F 
I�ve been wide awake all night  
Dm                                 D# 
There�s no sign of sleep inside my mind  
F 
The headlight shadows scan my wall  
Dm                                D# 
I convince myself you�ll call in time  
      Gm      F 
The truth, I lied  
     C#     D#      Gm 
The girl in me has died

This time, this time, this time  
This time I will  
F            C#      D#        F 
This time I will be yours completely  
                C#        D#        F 
This time I�ll make sure you don�t hate me  
              C#               D#                  C               C 
This time I know, this time I can and this time I will  
F             C 
I never look back  
         Dm               Bb 
I never cry never try to wonder why

This time I will
