[Chorus]
Cm
It's like, the more I try, the less I feel
Bb
In desperate need of something real
Gm
Why, lately I ain't been the same?
Ab
And why I try so hard to hide this pain
Cm
I search, but I can't ever find
Bb
Can't seem to leave my past behind
Gm
'Cause all the ones I hope would stay
Ab
Are all the ones that fade away
[Verse]
Cm
Truth is I think about you often
Bb
I miss your voice, I miss your smile that I used to get lost in
Gm
I know you know I have this thing for you, I never lost it
Ab
I think I just lost myself, in the midst of the non-sense
Cm
9 times out of 10, I'd close my eyes and dream about you
Bb
Don't know what it was, but you just had this thing about you
Gm
Lately we've been distant, see, I just can't be without you
Ab
And my soul got so attached to yours
I can't be me without you
Cm
But, we hate ourselves because we run from the people we love
Bb
And we all hold on to the past 'cause we miss what it was
Gm
Don't wanna feel so we try to numbin' the pain with these drugs
Ab
Living in hell, 'cause we lost faith in the place up above
Cm
And my anxiety is breaking me, it kills me
Bb
I'm living in a world so fake, I lost touch of the real me
Gm
Had to take a look back, just to ask me if I'm still me
Ab
And would I still stand for this if they wanted to kill me?
Cm
I can't take it no more, I just can't take it no more
Bb
I can't smile like I'm okay, I just can't fake it no more
Gm
I can't act like I've been happy and complacent no more
Ab
'Cause every time I try to change, it is the same as before
Cm
My karma's coming, my karma's coming, it's weighing in
Bb
I'm drinking till all my feelings just fade away again
Gm
And mama, she always told me "this ain't a way to live"
Ab
But, when you feel what I'm feeling that's just the way it is
Cm
I'm trying not to break down but I just can't hide this pain
Bb
Saw myself in the mirror and I'm just not the same
Gm
But who's to blame? I guess we all change
Ab
We hurt the ones we love because of our pain, fuck...
[Chorus]
Cm
It's like, the more I try, the less I feel
Bb
In desperate need of something real
Gm
Why, lately I ain't been the same?
Ab
And why I try so hard to hide this pain
Cm
I search, but I can't ever find
Bb
Can't seem to leave my past behind
Gm
'Cause all the ones I hope would stay
Ab
Are all the ones that fade away
