[Intro]
Em C Em C
[Verse]
Em C
I know that I have issues, I face them, I swear
Em C
Think I overcome them then turn they're still there
Em C
Wish that I was different, I'd like to let go
Em C
But when I try to change there's my past saying no
[Pre-Chorus]
D C
Maybe it's all 'cause of dad, his new kids, his new wife
D C D
Or why not just blame mom, who's been nuts my whole life...
[Chorus]
Em C
When you've felt so alone since the moment of birth
Em C
And you've struggled to find your own true sense of worth
Em C
When it seems there is no one across this whole earth
Em C
To depend upon you carry on
Em D C
Just like you always do
[Post-Chorus]
Em C Em
'Cause it's safer to rely on you
C D
Oh, it's safer to rely on you.
[Interlude]
Em C Em C
[Verse]
Em C
Seen a million movies all selling true love
Em C
Fantasies I'm not sure that I'm worthy of
Em C
Caution to the wind my heart's been on display
Em C
Still the end result is it's not gone my way
[Pre-Chorus]
D C
So when I date some new guy who's a deadbeat or jerk
D C D
At least I'm not so crushed when it all doesn't work...
[Chorus]
Em C
When you once, unafraid wore your heart on your sleeve
Em C
And the ones that you loved chose to just turn and leave
Em C
Every day it gets harder to somehow believe
Em C
You will survive so you strive
Em D C
Just to keep up your guard
[Post-Chorus]
Em C Em
'Cause it's safer to hold every card
C D Em
Oh, it's safer to hold every card.
[Bridge]
D D D D
I feel out of control
C G
I feel safe on the ground
D D D D
I go building up walls
C G
Yet I wish to be found
[Pre-Chorus]
B C
A true contradiction to which I am bound
Em C
As I keep on spinning around and around
(Key Change)
[Chorus]
Fm Db
And I look at the people who've worked it all out
Fm Db
And I wonder why I'm still a bundle of doubt
Fm Db
And sometimes I wanna just stand up and shout
Fm Db
Just commit and deal with it
[Post Chorus]
Fm Eb Db
Before your life flies by
Fm Eb Db
Don't let your life fly by...
N.C. Fm* Db*
But is it safer?
Eb* Db
Maybe it's safer
N.C. Fm Db
If I don't ... try.
