Tenderfoot Uke tab by Reese Lansangan

C               F           C
I feel a weight that's heavier these days
 
   G  F Am
No I am not quite hurting

        F                G
But I think that I'm in pain

          C                F
I look at photographs of myself

           C        G             Am   
And they insist there's nothing wrong

              Dm
But if there isn't

     G                 C
Why am I writing this song

        F      Am      G     C
I was told to love my body

                 F             Am        G
'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get

         F              Am
No it's not what people see

           G             C                   F  
It is the mind inside of me that weighs me down

             G
So each day I'll try


To do it better

      C            F               C
The world has a mountain of its problems

            F         Am          G
And your worries start to feel very small

               C                  F
But there's a kid locked in the toilet

       C    G     Am
All racked with guilt

     Dm                       G              C
Don't tell me that doesn't matter to you at all

       F       Am      G    C
I was told to love my body

                 F         Am            G
'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get

         F               Am
No it's not what people see

           G             C                  F 
It is the soul inside of me that keeps me whole

             G
So each day I'll try


To do it better

         F                  Am        
I'm so afraid to talk about it
  
         G                C
Others might not understand

           F                   Am
The way I don't know how it's like

   G
To be

               F
Somebody else

            Am
Oh Lord, I pray

                 G              C
That they won't take me in my sleep

             F
Oh don't we all

           G
Have our demons

         C
Running deep

          C                F                C
I saw a blind man on the streets the other day

                    Dm                 Am           G
I swear, oh how I wished I could have rescued him away

             C               F
And with my eyes, oh I was crying

 C     G    Am
Down on my knees

         F            G         C
And everything has changed for me

        F      Am       G      C   
I was told to love my body

                  F            Am        G    
'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get

         F              Am
No it's not what people see

            G             C                F
It is the heart inside of me that makes a man

                  G
So each day I'll try

        F      Am      G      C
I was told to love my body

                F             Am        G
Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get

          F             Am
Oh I have everything I need

               G                C
From a sound mind, to working feet

               F
They make me whole

                  G
So each day I'll try

                 C F C
To do it better

                 C F C
To do it better

                 C F F
To do it better
