SIb
How can one become so bounded
FA/LA SOLm
by choices that somebody else makes?
DOm
How come we both become a version
SIb FA/LA FA/SOL FA
of a person we don’t even like?
SIb
We’re in love with the world
FA/LA SOLm
but the world just wants to bring us down
DOm
By puttin’ ideas in our heads
SIb FA/LA FA/SOL FA
to corrupt our hearts somehow
SIb FA/LA
When I was a child every single
SOLm
thing could blow my mind
DOm SIb
Soaking it all up for fun but now
FA/LA FA/SOL FA
I only soak up wine
SIb
They say to play hard, you work hard,
FA SOLm
find balance in the sacrifice
DOm SIb
And yet I don’t know anybody who’s truly
FA/LA FA/SOL FA
satisfied.
SIb RE7
You better believe I’m trying (Trying, trying)
SOLm FA
To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing)
DOm
But the higher we climb feels like
FA
we’re both none the wiser.
SIb FA/LA SOLm
So I hope I learn to get over myself
DOm SIb FA/LA FA/SOL FA
Stop trying to be somebody else
SIb FA/LA SOLm
So we can love each other for free
DOm
Everybody wants something,
SIb FA/LA FA/SOL FA
you just want me.
SIb FA/LA SOLm
Why am I obsessing about the things I can’t control?
DOm SIb
Why am I seeking approval from people
FA/LA FA/SOL FA
I don’t even know?
SIb FA/LA
In these crazy times I hope I can find something
SOLm
I can cling onto
DOm SIb
‘Cause I need some substance in my life, something real,
FA/LA FA/SOL FA
something that feels true.
SIb RE7
You better believe for you I’ve cried (I’ve cried, I’ve cried)
SOLm FA
High tides (High tides, high tides)
DOm
‘Cause I want you so bad
FA
but you can’t fight fire with fire.
SIb FA/LA SOLm
So I hope I learn to get over myself
DOm SIb FA/LA FA/SOL FA
Stop trying to be somebody else
SIb FA/LA SOLm
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free
DOm
Everybody wants something,
SIb FA/LA FA/SOL FA
you just want me.
SIb
Listen, I know how low I can go,
FA/LA SOLm
I give as good as I get
DOm SIb
You get the brunt of it all
FA/LA FA/SOL FA
‘cause you’re all I’ve got left
SIb FA/LA
Oh, I hope in time (Hope in time) we both will find
SOLm
(We’ll both find) peace of mind
DOm SIb
Sometimes the road less traveled is the road
FA FA/SOL FA/LA
best left behind.
SIb FA/LA SOLm
Oh, I hope I learn to get over myself
DOm SIb FA/LA FA/SOL FA
Stop trying to be somebody else
SIb FA/LA SOLm
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free yeah
DOm
Everybody wants something,
SIb FA/LA FA/SOL FA
you just want me.
SIb FA/LA
You better believe I’m trying (Trying, trying)
SOLm
To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing)
DOm SIb
But the higher we climb feels like
FA/LA FA/SOL FA
we’re both none the wiser.
