Intro: C G F C Dm Am F

Verse:

C Dm
I'm not used to coming through
E F
I'm more accustomed to a falling out
C Dm
I'm trying hard now as I can for you
E F
Not to fuck up on some stupid doubt

C Dm
I got your hopes set way up high
E F
Way on up there where the air is thin
C Dm
The limit's supposed to be the sky
E F
I'm trying not to let you down again

Chorus:

C G F C
It's starting to come to me
Dm Am F
I didn't know about, I hadn't figured it out
C G F C
But it's starting to come to me now
Dm Am F
A little bit too late

Verse:

C Dm
I can't see anything you've done
E F
Any reason for the trouble you've got
C Dm
You haven't hurt anyone
E F
Compared to most I'd say that's saying quite a lot

C Dm
I can't help you when you're sad
E F
That's a constant source of pain to me
C Dm
Because I want to really bad
E F
Even though you make it seem like nothing

Chorus:

C G F C
It's starting to come to me
Dm Am F
I didn't know about, I hadn't figured it out
C G F C
But it's starting to come to me now
Dm Am F
A little bit too late
