This tab is in no way full correct and I realize that. There were no chords to this song (along with it 
being piano)and I really needed to get some. There is a different strumming pattern through out the song
though I didn't write it in. Just mess around with it if you're really despite and don't want to make your
own.
They got your wEmalls as tall as the ceiling
Or your hAmeart’s curled up in a ball on the floor
It’Cs never been this hard
To Fpush on through the dEmark
GI know it’s tough to make a sCmile creep out of the broken doubt
And the rEmest of you is torn
Just wCait they got more words in store
Like you're sAmtupid
I think they're Gstupid
You wonder why tAmhey do thisC  
There ain't a reason
They think they're tAmough right?
Taking your time to make a rGough night
For someone else it’s not a dEmumb fight
Cause all we have is wFho we are
CWho we are
EmNot everybody has a heart as thick as ours
AmKeep aiming for the stars
Don't forget who you are
Who you areG  
FTake it for granted
The love thEmey've been handed
Yeah we're all mAmisdirected      
CWe try to learn the lessons
But when you're aGlone
Your heart tuDrns to stone
EmNo heart or home
Stolen conclusion
AmYour minds all turned over
From words of illusion
EmBut you're fine
AmYou're fine
You're fine
FYou're fine
You're fine
 G-
Lay your head down
-
It'll be alright
_
Take the time to realize, they're all just lies.
Cause not eEmverybody has a heart as thick as ours
Keep aAmiming for the stars
Not eEmverybody has a heart as thick as ours
Keep aiAmming for the stars
It’s sGo hAmard Emto let a smile creep out of aFll the broken doubt
                   C            Em   Am-                                    Em-
When you're gone, alone, cause they take you down, they skin ya to the bone.
Do you kCnow who you are?
Cause I kGnow who you are
You're a piFnch of perfect
a dash of worth it
Don't tEmake your life
Just stay tAmongue tied
I know iGt’s hard
Do they kCnow it’s this hard
To make a sEmmile creep out of a pile of broken doubt
                       G-                            F  
When all of its gone, they take you down, they take your stars.
But I need you to shEmine
For me tonight
I need you to sChine, I need you to shine
                       G-
Cause it doesn't look like
-
I said it doesn’t look like
-
It gets better
-
I said it doesn’t look like
-
It gets better
-
With all of this heavy weather
Well it doGesn’t look like
It gets better
But FI swear that it does.
But I know Amyou'll think twice cause of the heavy, heavy weather
          Em-
And you don't know whether to stay.
Because not eAmverybody has a heart as thick as yours
Keep aiming for the sEmtars, don't forget who you are
         C-
Cause you've gotten this far, don't let them take it all.

Chords in this song · guitar

This tab is in no way full correct and I realize that. There were no chords to this song (along with it

being piano)and I really needed to get some. There is a different strumming pattern through out the song

though I didn't write it in. Just mess around with it if you're really despite and don't want to make your

own.

They got your walls as tall as the ceiling

Or your heart’s curled up in a ball on the floor

It’s never been this hard

F Em

To push on through the dark

G C

I know it’s tough to make a smile creep out of the broken doubt

And the rest of you is torn

Just wait they got more words in store

Like you're stupid

I think they're stupid

Am C

You wonder why they do this

There ain't a reason

They think they're tough right?

Taking your time to make a rough night

For someone else it’s not a dumb fight

Cause all we have is who we are

Who we are

Not everybody has a heart as thick as ours

Keep aiming for the stars

Don't forget who you are

Who you are

Take it for granted

The love they've been handed

Yeah we're all misdirected

We try to learn the lessons

But when you're alone

Your heart turns to stone

No heart or home

Stolen conclusion

Your minds all turned over

From words of illusion

But you're fine

You're fine

Lay your head down

It'll be alright

Take the time to realize, they're all just lies.

Cause not everybody has a heart as thick as ours

Keep aiming for the stars

Not everybody has a heart as thick as ours

Keep aiming for the stars

G Am Em F

It’s so hard to let a smile creep out of all the broken doubt

C Em Am Em

- -

When you're gone, alone, cause they take you down, they skin ya to the bone.

Do you know who you are?

Cause I know who you are

You're a pinch of perfect

a dash of worth it

Don't take your life

Just stay tongue tied

I know it’s hard

Do they know it’s this hard

To make a smile creep out of a pile of broken doubt

G F

When all of its gone, they take you down, they take your stars.

But I need you to shine

For me tonight

I need you to shine, I need you to shine

Cause it doesn't look like

I said it doesn’t look like

It gets better

I said it doesn’t look like

It gets better

With all of this heavy weather

Well it doesn’t look like

It gets better

But I swear that it does.

But I know you'll think twice cause of the heavy, heavy weather

And you don't know whether to stay.

Because not everybody has a heart as thick as yours

Keep aiming for the stars, don't forget who you are

Cause you've gotten this far, don't let them take it all.
