C On the road to safe GF I kinda tripped along the way EmAm It just seemed like a nasty hassle EmAm The path was greener on the one less traveled FG That's where I remained CG People so high they think F I can't hear the whispers EmAm I can see it falling off their face EmAm Their trying to shoot down my plane of grace FAmG It seems like it's already hard enough

FCG But the paint on me is beginning to dry AmAm7/GF And it's not what I wanted to be C The weight on me G Is hanging on to a weary angel
CHORUS
AmC/B So tell me what it is about me AmAm7/G Where did everybody go without me F So, I like to fantasize Fm And watch the sunrise like it's a big surprise CC/B Life moved and I stopped to taste it Am I drank it up till it left me wasted G But my rains have bled a softer red FFmC Oh you should see the world inside my head
