[Verse 1]
G5 Gsus
I never meant to make it such a mess
G5 Gsus
I never thought that it would go this far
G5/B Csus2 G5/Eb
So I just stand here sorry
G5/D G5/C#
Searching for something to say
Csus2
Something to say
Csus2 D/F#
Words fail
G(add2) Csus2/E
Words fail
C(add2) D(add4) G Gsus G Gsus
There's nothing I can say
[Verse 2]
G Gsus
I guess I thought I could be part of this
G Gsus
I never had this kind of thing before
G5/B Csus2 Cm/Eb G5/D
I never had that perfect girl
A7(add4) Csus2
Who somehow could see the good part of me
G Gsus
I never had the dad who stuck it out
G Gsus
No corny jokes or baseball gloves
G5/B Csus2 Cm/Eb
No mom who just was there
G5/D A7(add4) D(add4)
'Cause "Mom" was all that she had to be
Em C(add2)
That's not a worthy explanation
G Dsus/F#
I know there is none
Em Bm Am D/A
Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done
Am D/A Am Gmaj9/B C(add2) D(add2)/F#
Words fail
G5 Csus2/E
Words fail
Fsus2 F(add2)/A
There's nothing I can say
[Bridge]
G5/B C(add2) Csus2/E
Except, sometimes you see everything you wanted
Fsus2 G5/B C(add2) Csus2/E
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
Fsus2 G(add4) Am7 G(add4)
And it's right there, right there, right there
C(add2)/E F(add2)
In front of you
C(add2)/E F(add2)
And you want to believe it's true
C(add2)/E Fsus2
So you make it true
Am7 C5/G C5/E Fsus2
And you think maybe everybody wants it,
Cmaj/E F(add2)
Needs it... A little bit... too

[Verse 3]
Dm Bbsus2
This was just a sad invention
F5 F5/E
It wasn't real, I know
Dm
But we were happy
Am Bbsus2
I guess I couldn't let that go
F5/A
I guess I couldn't give that up
Dm7
I guess I wanted to believe
C(add4)
'Cause if I just believe
Bbsus2 Bb(add2)
Then I don't have to see what's really there
Dm7
No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than
Bb(add2)
These broken parts
F
Pretend I'm something other than
C(add4)
This mess that I am
Dm7
'Cause then I don't have to look at it
Bb(add2)
And no one gets to look at it
F5/A
No,
Bb(add2) C(add4)
No one can really see
[Chorus]
Am7 F(add2) G(add4)
'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
C5/E F(add2) G(add4)
Before I even turn the key
Am7 F(add2) G(add4)
Before I make the mistake
C/E F(add2) Am7 G(add4)
Before I lead with the worst of me
C5/E Fsus2 Am G
I never let them see the worst of me
[Verse 4]
C/E Fsus2/E Csus2/E
'Cause what if everyone saw?
C/F Fsus2 Csus/F
What if everyone knew?
C/E Fsus2/E Csus2/E
Would they like what they saw?
C/F Fsus2 Am7 G(add4)
Or would they hate it too?
Dm7 Am7 G(add4) C5/E F(add2)
Will I just keep on running away from what's true?
Am Fsus2 G(add4)
All I ever do is run
Dm7 Fsus2
So how do I step in,
C Csus/D Fsus2 C Csus/D Fsus2
Step into the sun?
C Dm7 Fsus2 C Dm7 Fsus2
Step into the sun
