[Intro]

D A Em G

[Verse]

Used to know how to do

This without losing my cool

Em G

But you crept too much inside my head

Rolling over in my bed

Tangled up in what you said

Em G

Terrified this just might never end

[Chorus]

Easy on my tethered soul

Giving you all I got

But you claiming it whole

It's the best I can do

Nothing is ever good enough for you

Easy on my tired eyes

They've been up all night

Cause my mind is tied

It's the best I can do

A Em D A Em G

Nothing is ever good enough for you

[Verse]

Chasing the days away

Back and forth, this game we play

Em G

It's sickening but we can not quit

How did really so far down

Run ourselves into the ground

Em G

Pull us up for air, but we still drown

[Chorus]

Easy on my tethered soul

Giving you all I got

But you claiming it whole

It's the best I can do

Nothing is ever good enough for you

Easy on my tired eyes

They've been up all night

Cause my mind is tied

It's the best I can do

A Em

Nothing is ever good enough for you

[Bridge]

D A

I am down on my knees

Begging for release

Can't continue like this, no

D A

So could you please

Change your eyes to see

This is no way to be, no

D A

I am down on my knees

Begging for release

Can't continue like this, no

D A

So could you please

Change your eyes to see

This is no way, no way, no way to be

[Chorus]

Easy on my tethered soul

Giving you all I got

But you claiming it whole

It's the best I can do

Nothing is ever good enough for you

Easy on my tired eyes

They've been up all night

Cause my mind is tied

It's the best I can do

Nothing is ever good enough for you

[Outro]
