[Chorus]
D#maj7
I just want time in a tree
C#m7
I need a place just for me
G#maj7
Somewhere that I can be free
A# Ddim
Keep the faith and just be
What you'll be
[Verse 1]
D#maj7
I guess rules are there to break
C#m7
But I make mistakes like they were handed on a plate
G#maj7
When I try to leave sometimes, Iâ??m standing in the way
A#
Iâ??m on the edge of crying all the time, â??cause I canâ??t human
Ddim
Right
[Verse 2]
D#maj7
What a state
I get wound up, from the ground up
C#m7
And I donâ??t know why
Turn the sound up, drown the noise out
G#maj7
Swallow (Whoa), Donâ??t cry
Got an anxious heart, and itâ??s stone made Canâ??t take paper or heartbreak
A#
Did Billy Joel have self esteem?
Ddim
Maybe Vienna wouldnâ??t wait for me
[Chorus]
D#maj7
I just want time in a tree
C#m7
I need a place just for me
G#maj7
Somewhere that I can be free
A# Ddim
Keep the faith and just be
What you'll be
[Verse 3]
D#maj7
Do you ever feel like, you could live a real life?
C#m7
Like everybody else in the real world, you could be a real girl?
G#maj7
You could be a wizard, or you could be in NASA, you could write fiction, you could tame raptors
A#
Most days I struggle and I get snappy
Ddim
Fuck all that, I just wanna be happy
[Verse 4]
D#maj7
Swimming against the current
Am I wrong? Can you show me a warrant
C#m7
Honestly, Iâ??m a bomb
Abhorrent Iâ??m on it, I get it, Iâ??ve got it
G#maj7
I wanna be 10 again, just me and Sonic, and nobody telling me I should be more than I am
A# Ddim
Back when I had a plan
[Chorus]
D#maj7
I, I just want time in a tree
C#m7
I need a place just for me (for me)
G#maj7
Somewhere that I can be free (Can be free)
A# Ddim
Keep the faith and just be (Just be)
What you'll be
[Bridge]
D#maj7 C#m7
Iâ??ve seen things that I never should have seen
G#maj7
Said too many things I didnâ??t mean
A#
Hurt myself too many times to count
Ddim D#maj7
I need to let it out, and just release
C#m7
Been lying to myself too long
G#maj7
Been trying by myself too long
A#
I canâ??t relax, Iâ??m too distracted
Ddim
I canâ??t hack it, hmm
D#maj7
Iâ??m needy, greedy
Love me, feed me
C#m7
Letâ??s be a family
Itâ??ll take a village
G#maj7
To make a man of me
A#
So why couldnâ??t you love me?
Ddim
Itâ??s all I need
[Chorus]
D#maj7
I just want time in a tree
C#m7
I need a place just for me
G#maj7
Somewhere that I can be free
A# Ddim
Keep the faith and just be
What you'll be
