G G                               C C

I never meant to make it such a mess

G G C C

I never thought that it would go this far

G G C C Cm Cm

So I just stand here sorry

G G A/C# A/C#

Searching for something to say

C C

Something to say

C C D D G G C C

Words fail, words fail

C C D D G G

There's nothing I can say

[Simple Strum]

G G C C G G C C


G G C C

I guess I thought I could be part of this

G G C C

I never had this kind of thing before

G G C C Cm Cm

I never had that perfect girl


G G A/C# A/C# C C

Who somehow could see the good part of me


G G C C

I never had the dad who stuck it out

G G C C

No corny jokes or baseball gloves

G G C C Cm Cm

No mom who just was there

G G A A D D

'Cause mom was all that she had to be


Em Em C C

That's not a worthy explanation

G G D D

I know there is none

Em Em Bm Bm Am Am D D Am Am

Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done


G G C C D D G G

Words fail, words fail

C C F F

There's nothing I can say

G G C C

Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted

F F G G C C

And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had

F F G G Am Am G G

And it's right there, right there, right there

C C

In front of you

F F C C

And you want to believe it's true

F F

So you... make it true

G G C C F F

And you think maybe everybody wants it

F F

And needs it

C C

a little bit

F F

too

[Instrumental]

Fm Fm A# A# F F A# A# C# C# C C G G
A# A#

Dm Dm A# A#

This was just a sad invention

F F C C

It wasn't real, I know

Dm Dm

But we were happy

Am Am A# A#

I guess I couldn't let that go

F F

I guess I couldn't give that up

Dm Dm

I guess I wanted to believe

C C

'Cause if I just believe

A# A# C C Dm Dm

Then I don't have to see what's really there

Dm Dm

No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than

A# A#

These broken parts

F F

Pretend I'm something other than

C C

This mess that I am

Dm Dm

'Cause then I don't have to look at it

A# A#

And no one gets to look at it

F F A# A# C C
No, no one can really see



Am Am F F G G

'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake

C C F F G G

Before I even turn the key

Am Am F F G G

Before I make the mistake

C C F F Am Am G G

Before I lead with the worst of me

C C F F Am Am G G

I never let them see the worst of me

[Outro]

C C F F G G

'Cause what if everyone saw?

F F C C G G

What if everyone knew?

C C F F G G

Would they like what they saw?

F F C C F F G G

Or would they hate it too?

Dm Dm G G C C F F

Will I just keep on running away from what's true?

C C Dm Dm F F

All I ever do is run

Dm Dm F F

So how do I step in

C C Dm Dm F F C C Dm Dm F F

Step into the sun?

C C Dm Dm F F C C Dm Dm F F

Step into the sun

C C Dm Dm F F

C C Dm Dm F F
