[Intro] (Sang backwards)
 EmHard days, cold nightsD  
Staring down at an empty cup likeC  
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it upD  
 EmAll day, all night
TDen feet down nearly my whole lifeC  
But I'll be rising, rising upD  
[Verse 1]
YeahEm, I know the person in the mirror's not a perfect oneD  
I look at him every day and think he's not enoughC  
My life's a book that I don't really like to open upD  
I'm twenty-six, but I feel like I live in chapter oneEm  
I skim through it, I've been through it, they laugh at usD  
You think it's funny, yeah, laugh it up
I always felt like Cno one listened to me, that's how I grew up
Church is where I foDund God, but it's also where I learned to judgeEm  
Yeah, I had to learn there's a difference betweenD  
What you want, and what you really need
I've always been mCotivated by comments from people tellin' me
Things they think I'll nDever be, and then I become it, this is my everything
There's Emso much that goes on in my head that people will never see
You pDrobably be terrified of my memories, don't lecture me
LCet me be, let me see, let me breathe, how they remember me
Doesn't aDlter who I am as a person to take my energy, yeah
[Chorus]
 EmHard days, cold nightsD  
Staring down at an empty cup likeC  
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it upD  
 EmAll day, all night
TDen feet down nearly my whole lifeC  
But I'll be rising, rising upD  
Cold nights
[Verse 2]
YeahEm, my fans made me who I am, but they also deceived meD  
I've been allowed to live life like I'm already grievingC  
I'm at a table of lies, but don't eat what they feed meD  
My hoodie over my face, so nobody can see meEm  
I'm on a plane, 'bout to fly again
Looking out the wDindow, take a moment to admire it
Wondering how hCigh it is, wonder where the time has went
Then I shut the wDindow and go back to feeling like I'm out my mind again, aEmgh!
Yeah, seems like we're all trying to climb a ladderD  
It's crazy what we'll do to climb it faster
It's like we thCrow away the things in life that really matter
Just so that we can mDake it to the top, and wonder what we're even climbing afterEm  
I know the feeling of feeling like everything you deal wDith will never change
That's part of being a human, yeahC  
Life's what you make of it, take it, embrace it, and take it, and sDavor it
Ain't about what you did, it's what you became from it, agh!
[Chorus]
 EmHard days, cold nightsD  
Staring down at an empty cup likeC  
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up (DOh, yeah)
 EmAll day, all night
TDen feet down nearly my whole lifeC  
But I'll be rising, rising upD  
Cold nights
[Bridge]
EmWe all want what we never had
The gDood life doesn't seem so bad
The gCood life doesn't seem so sad
Yeah, we aDll want what we never had, whoa
[Chorus]
 EmHard days, cold nightsD  
Staring down at an empty cup likeC  
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it upD  
 EmAll day, all night
TDen feet down nearly my whole lifeC  
But I'll be rising, rising upD  
Cold nights
[Bridge]
EmWe all want what we never had
The gDood life doesn't seem so bad
The goCod life doesn't seem so sad
Yeah, we aDll want what we never had
[Chorus]
 EmHard days, cold nightsD  
Staring down at an empty cup likeC  
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it upD  
[Outro]
 EmHard days, cold nightsD  
Staring down at an empty cup likeC  
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it upD  
 EmAll day, all nightD  
Ten feet down nearly my whole lifeC

[Intro] (Sang backwards)

Em D

Hard days, cold nights

Staring down at an empty cup like

I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up

All day, all night

D C

Ten feet down nearly my whole life

But I'll be rising, rising up

[Verse 1]

Em D

Yeah, I know the person in the mirror's not a perfect one

I look at him every day and think he's not enough

My life's a book that I don't really like to open up

I'm twenty-six, but I feel like I live in chapter one

I skim through it, I've been through it, they laugh at us

You think it's funny, yeah, laugh it up

I always felt like no one listened to me, that's how I grew up

D Em

Church is where I found God, but it's also where I learned to judge

Yeah, I had to learn there's a difference between

What you want, and what you really need

I've always been motivated by comments from people tellin' me

Things they think I'll never be, and then I become it, this is my everything

There's so much that goes on in my head that people will never see

You probably be terrified of my memories, don't lecture me

Let me be, let me see, let me breathe, how they remember me

Doesn't alter who I am as a person to take my energy, yeah

[Chorus]

Em D

Hard days, cold nights

Staring down at an empty cup like

I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up

All day, all night

D C

Ten feet down nearly my whole life

But I'll be rising, rising up

Cold nights

[Verse 2]

Em D

Yeah, my fans made me who I am, but they also deceived me

I've been allowed to live life like I'm already grieving

I'm at a table of lies, but don't eat what they feed me

My hoodie over my face, so nobody can see me

I'm on a plane, 'bout to fly again

Looking out the window, take a moment to admire it

Wondering how high it is, wonder where the time has went

D Em

Then I shut the window and go back to feeling like I'm out my mind again, agh!

Yeah, seems like we're all trying to climb a ladder

It's crazy what we'll do to climb it faster

It's like we throw away the things in life that really matter

D Em

Just so that we can make it to the top, and wonder what we're even climbing after

I know the feeling of feeling like everything you deal with will never change

That's part of being a human, yeah

Life's what you make of it, take it, embrace it, and take it, and savor it

Ain't about what you did, it's what you became from it, agh!

[Chorus]

Em D

Hard days, cold nights

Staring down at an empty cup like

I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up (Oh, yeah)

All day, all night

D C

Ten feet down nearly my whole life

But I'll be rising, rising up

Cold nights

[Bridge]

We all want what we never had

The good life doesn't seem so bad

The good life doesn't seem so sad

Yeah, we all want what we never had, whoa

[Chorus]

Em D

Hard days, cold nights

Staring down at an empty cup like

I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up

All day, all night

D C

Ten feet down nearly my whole life

But I'll be rising, rising up

Cold nights

[Bridge]

We all want what we never had

The good life doesn't seem so bad

The good life doesn't seem so sad

Yeah, we all want what we never had

[Chorus]

Em D

Hard days, cold nights

Staring down at an empty cup like

I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up

[Outro]

Em D

Hard days, cold nights

Staring down at an empty cup like

I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up

Em D

All day, all night

Ten feet down nearly my whole life

But I'll be rising, rising up
