That i will never show but somehow everybody seems to know my demons.
In all my efforts I've committed Ctreason.
Chasing dreams that are changing like the sAmeasons.
                                              C  B/      Am7  D  
They make me feel so small but I'm so proud to tell them all that

Cause I'm the bEmest there Cis.

This gEmuitar is pouring melodies that burn inside my heCart.
As the sound is broken up by passing Gcars.
They don't know that I'm above.
             D/                        F#m  Em  
Or that I'm swimming in the middle of an ocean.
I'm riding on a wave or pure emCotion.
I'm drinking up this sea like iAmt's a potion.
CMaybe i can mend new wings.
          B/          Am7  D  
I'll either float or start to sink.

And I Amknow I've never been the kind to let them get inside my miCnd.
                           G  D/F#m  
You just got to see that I need them on my side.
I proAmmise not to breathe it in, or ever strum a chord aCgain.
                                                 G  D/F#m  
Cause it burns my lungs and hurts my tongue to know that
