[Intro]
A – C# - A – B x2
[Verse 1]
A C#
Tossed around like sea glass and You rounded out my edges.
A B
I'll feel better when the headaches go away.
A C#
I got a scar across my forehead, turning purple in the cold
A
From a night at Shore Memorial.
B
I was 16 and afraid.
A B
Turned away, like I'm working baby face
E9 C# A
Out of Mid-South in the 80's.
B
I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape.
[Chorus]
E A
I think I'm growing into someone You could trust.
E9 C#
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,
B B A
I want to run until my lungs give up.
E9
If I could manage not to fuck this up.
F#maj7 E7m B
If I could manage not to fuck this up.
E7m F#maj7 A
I think enough is enough.
[Verse 2]
A C#
Hidden in the tall grass in the naked light of day,
A
I put my past-self in the ground.
B
I've been dancing on the grave.
A
I'm not the person that I was then,
C#
I'm tearing him away.
A
I was bitter. I was careless.
B
I was 19 and afraid
[Bridge 1]
E A
But You deserved more from me.
E B
I don't know whE7m I would saE7m those things.
E A B
But You deserved more from me and I'm trying every day.

I think I'm growing into someone You could trust.

(Palm muted) C#
You left me walking in circles.
A
You were a shot in the dark.
B
You were the baby teeth I buried.
A
You were the sounds of distant cars.
(End palm muted) C#
You left me walking in circles.
A
You were a shot in the dark.
B
You were the banner that says "No One"
A
That I tattooed across my heart.
C#
You left me walking in circles.
A
You were a shot in the dark.
B
You're scattered like ashes across every song that I write.
A
You're where the light pollution starts.
[Chorus]

I think I'm growing into someone You could trust.
