[Verse 1]
E
Walking tall in a small town
E
Full of yourself when you're feeling down
And that's all that matters to you
E E B
Can't pretend anymore
C# F#m G# E
Talk is cheap, I said that before
E B
But you can still taste it
C# F#m G#
And that's one more reason why you're never gonna make it
[Chorus]
A E G# F#m
I've had enough of all the talk on how you're saving me
A E C# B
Talk like you're self assured but all you are is history
A E B C#
Speak slow, I want you to know that
A
I'm a realist and an optimist
B
But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this

C# B A B E E
It hits home, so just go
[Chorus]
