AmTune in to find my Cpeace and solitude
These empty Frooms spin
                                      G*
And I embrace the flaws of being human
The black and Amwhite and sometimes the Cgreys that stay for days
The in-betFween times, the meantimes
                             G*
That make the song of life sing
[Pre-Chorus]
AmPlay, Crest, Amrepeat
Read Cexactly what is Fwritten on the sheet
Don't deviaAmte they say
CBut I will Fplay what's best for Amme
I'll press the Ckeys and pull the Fstrings
Create a symphony that's mine
[Chorus]
And CI'll spend my Emlife penning Ammy song, Fmy song
And the Cverses I Emwrite will speak for Amme
Good girls don't make Fhistory
So I may Gnever be what Fyou assume
Don't Amwant your hooks or aCuto-tune
If FI'm off-key then that's alrighAmt with me
COh and Fmaybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on
[Verse 2]
AmLet go, I let my Cvoice be heard
Then listen for the Fecho
                          G*          Am  
My own reverb is playing cause I'm a movement
There's dissonance, Csometimes I make mistakes
                                         F   G*
Oh I'm human, after all I'm not your expectations
[Pre-Chorus]
But Amplay, Crest, reAmpeat
That's what they Cask of me
Just Fstick to this melody and stay between the Amlines
CBut I will Fplay what's best for Amme
I'll ring the Cbells and crash the Fsymbols
My harmonious design
[Chorus]
And CI'll spend my Emlife penning Ammy song, Fmy song
And the Cverses I Emwrite will speak for Amme
