[Verse]
G G F F
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 A
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

[Instrumental]
G G C C
G G C C

[Verse]
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 A C C
Who somehow could see the good part of me

[Verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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#

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
