[Verse 1]
C F C
I was born come on the break of spring
C F C
mama told me I got joy to bring
Am F C
but I got something buried in my soul
G F C
nothing ever seemed to make me whole
C F C
I got on my knees and learned to pray
C F Am
God, if you're the one then I will stay
F C
but I was given wings to fly away
G F C
I keep my word as long as I'm okay
[Chorus]
Am F
so tell me what it means my fingers on the strings
C G
I'm praying I got something worth the breath it takes to say
Am F
and I don't understand why I should get the chance
C G
while in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands
C
when I can't earn this plan
[Verse 2]
C F C
I wish that I were better at goodbyes
C F C
I don't connect with what would make you cry
Am F C
I guess there's something different in my head
G F C
but I'll pretend I understand instead
C F C
You think I found a place where i belong
C F Am
but nothing keeps me rooted here for long
F C
I'd rather travel to a stranger place
G F C
then recognized as a familiar face
[Chorus]
Am F
so tell me what it means my fingers on the strings
C G
I'm praying I got something worth the breath it takes to say
Am F
and I don't understand why I should get the chance
C G
while in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands
Am
when I can't earn this plan
[Bridge]
F
I I I I
C
When I can't earn this plan
G
I I I-I
Am
And I don't understand
F
I I I-I
C
Why I should get this chance
G Am
I I I-I
[Verse 3]
C F C
I'm afraid of running out of days
F F Am
tell me everything will be okay
F C
I think I am better on my own
G F C
but mama I'm afraid to die alone
