[Intro]
Am x4
G C F
[Verse 1]
Am Dm
Late last night, or was it morning?
Am Dm
Outside the rain was pouring
Am Dm G
I stumbled out, I hit the ground
Am Dm
It's a hell of a scene but there's no story
Am Dm
Designed in all its glory
Am Dm G
To set you up and knock you down
[Chorus]
F C F C
Just a reflection on my bitterness
G D G D
Why plant the seed and not do the rest?
F C F C
Just a distraction from the meaningless
G D G D
I'd rather bleed than settle for less
[Interlude]
Am x4
G C F
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
Was told at the time to just keep going
Am Dm
You'll fly but don't stop rolling
Am Dm G
Reach for the moon and hit the ground
Am Dm
Is this a chip upon my shoulder?
Am Dm
Gs heavy as a boulder
Am Dm G
When all the world owes you a crown
[Chorus]
F C F C
Just a reflection on my emptiness
G D G D
You don't succeed by chasing success
F C F C
No reputation is worth all this mess
G D G D
I'd rather bleed than settle for less
[Instrumental]
Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm G (x2)
[Chorus]
F C F C
Just a reflection on my happiness
G D G D
Only compete with yourself at your best
F C F C
A separation from the self I possess
G D G D
Just let it be and settle for less
[Outro]
F C F C G D G D (x2)
