[Verse 1]
I'm Emnot quite how I should F#be
Been fEm/Ginding tricks too hF#ard
I'm tEmhinking something must F#be broken
'Cause Em/Git's wasn't like tF#his before
Now eEmveryone is uglyF#  
And evEm/Geryone is stonedF#  
Small Emthings about you excitF#e me
But thEm/Gen I'd hate to spoiF#l the tone
Em
[Chorus]
All my little sEmomethings just ran out of lBmuck
Secret dates with strAmangers, dirty words and fCighting talk
I'm so scared iEmt's killed me time and time Bmagain
I can't live with cAmompromise, so maybe we could tBmalk as friends?
If at fAmirst you don't succeed, trF#y again for me
[Verse 2]
Today Emis going to be fineF#  
TomorrEm/Gow will be fine tooF#  
I askEmed for things to better F#me
Even tEm/Ghough they silenced F#my soul
I can Emtaste is just for a seF#cond
And thEm/Gen it disappearsF#  
The fEmlowers look like glitteF#r
But thEm/Gen so do you my deaF#r
[Chorus]
All my little sEmomethings just ran out of lBmuck
Secret dates with strAmangers, dirty words and fCighting talk
I'm so scared iEmt's killed me time and time Bmagain
I can't live with cAmompromise, so maybe we could tBmalk as friends?
If at fAmirst you don't succeed, trF#y again for me
[Bridge]
 C   B   Am   Em   B   B   Am   Amx2
CIt's in the way that you loBok
AmIt's in the books that won't reEmad
BIt comes and goes like a friend
AmIt's with me right 'til the end
CIt's in the memories I've lBost
AmIt's concentrating too muEmch
BIt's breaking down of relations
AmAnd it's the beat of the clock
CIt's not being able to be eBxplain
AmOr get your feelings acrosEms
BIt's in the pain that won't leave you
AmIt's coming straight back for us
CIt's in a new lease of lifeB  
AmAnd a search that ends welEml
BIt's in finding that change
AmIt's being happy again

Em/G

[Verse 1]

Em F#

I'm not quite how I should be

Em/G F#

Been finding tricks too hard

Em F#

I'm thinking something must be broken

Em/G F#

'Cause it's wasn't like this before

Em F#

Now everyone is ugly

Em/G F#

And everyone is stoned

Em F#

Small things about you excite me

Em/G F#

But then I'd hate to spoil the tone

[Chorus]

Em Bm

All my little somethings just ran out of luck

Am C

Secret dates with strangers, dirty words and fighting talk

Em Bm

I'm so scared it's killed me time and time again

Am Bm

I can't live with compromise, so maybe we could talk as friends?

Am F#

If at first you don't succeed, try again for me

[Verse 2]

Em F#

Today is going to be fine

Em/G F#

Tomorrow will be fine too

Em F#

I asked for things to better me

Em/G F#

Even though they silenced my soul

Em F#

I can taste is just for a second

Em/G F#

And then it disappears

Em F#

The flowers look like glitter

Em/G F#

But then so do you my dear

[Chorus]

Em Bm

All my little somethings just ran out of luck

Am C

Secret dates with strangers, dirty words and fighting talk

Em Bm

I'm so scared it's killed me time and time again

Am Bm

I can't live with compromise, so maybe we could talk as friends?

Am F#

If at first you don't succeed, try again for me

[Bridge]

C B Am Em B B Am Am

C B

It's in the way that you look

Am Em

It's in the books that won't read

It comes and goes like a friend

It's with me right 'til the end

C B

It's in the memories I've lost

Am Em

It's concentrating too much

It's breaking down of relations

And it's the beat of the clock

C B

It's not being able to be explain

Am Em

Or get your feelings across

It's in the pain that won't leave you

It's coming straight back for us

C B

It's in a new lease of life

Am Em

And a search that ends well

It's in finding that change

It's being happy again
