[Introduction]
F#  Ebm  C#  B
[Verse 1]
  F#Another morning I wake up without exEbmception
Though I guess now it's closer to the afterC#noon
And I am not the first up as is traditBion
But the last to go sleep alone with you
  F#And I breathe in the scent of coffee from the kiEbmtchen
I hear the laughter spilling from the other roC#om
So I drag my body up and join the liBving
A warm reception almost right on cue
  F#I never would have thEbmought it could ever be this goC#od
And I know each moment's fleeting but rBight now I feel like I'm right where I should be
[Chorus]
  EbmI am C#not a perfect mF#an, I fuck up Boften
At least I never have to wonder why I came
  EbmIf you're hC#onest with yourF#self, I'll bet it's Bpainful
But you and I are far less different than they say
[Post-Chorus]
             Ebm                 C#                     F#         BSo where do you fit in?
             Ebm                 C#                     F#         BSo where do you fit in?
[Verse 2]
F#(Hold for four measures)
  F#Another night the sun goes down without exEbmception
I hear the matches playing from the other rC#oom
It's been a day since I have glanced at my refBlection
No words of judgment coming from our crew
  F#We start a fire just as the stars aEbmrrive
And I am lost within the fC#lames
Until a touch from you brings me bBack
To what feels like the perfect day
  F#So why is it you thiEbmnk
Some people never feel alC#ive
Don't they know each moment's fleeting, I cBan't help but feeling I'm right where I
should be
[Chorus]
  EbmI am C#not a perfect frF#iend or perfect lBover
Oh, I admit sometimes I have too many drinks
  EbmBut we are C#all degenerF#ates, half on the Binside
And you and I are far less different than they say
[Post-Chorus]
             Ebm                 C#                     F#         BSo where do you fit in?
             Ebm                 C#                     F#         BSo where do you fit in?
[Bridge]
  EbmI think I found my plC#ace to fill that eF#mpty spaBce
That feeling we all chase (So where do you fit in?)
  EbmAnd we can sing off-kC#ey as long as F#we all seBe we sing it beautifully
Ebm                    C#            F#       B     C#

Ebm

[Introduction]

F# Ebm C# B

[Verse 1]

F# Ebm

Another morning I wake up without exception

Though I guess now it's closer to the afternoon

And I am not the first up as is tradition

But the last to go sleep alone with you

F# Ebm

And I breathe in the scent of coffee from the kitchen

I hear the laughter spilling from the other room

So I drag my body up and join the living

A warm reception almost right on cue

F# Ebm C#

I never would have thought it could ever be this good

And I know each moment's fleeting but right now I feel like I'm right where I should be

[Chorus]

Ebm C# F# B

I am not a perfect man, I fuck up often

At least I never have to wonder why I came

Ebm C# F# B

If you're honest with yourself, I'll bet it's painful

But you and I are far less different than they say

[Post-Chorus]

Ebm C# F# B

So where do you fit in?

Ebm C# F# B

So where do you fit in?

[Verse 2]

F#(Hold for four measures)

F# Ebm

Another night the sun goes down without exception

I hear the matches playing from the other room

It's been a day since I have glanced at my reflection

No words of judgment coming from our crew

F# Ebm

We start a fire just as the stars arrive

And I am lost within the flames

Until a touch from you brings me back

To what feels like the perfect day

F# Ebm

So why is it you think

Some people never feel alive

Don't they know each moment's fleeting, I can't help but feeling I'm right where I

should be

[Chorus]

Ebm C# F# B

I am not a perfect friend or perfect lover

Oh, I admit sometimes I have too many drinks

Ebm C# F# B

But we are all degenerates, half on the inside

And you and I are far less different than they say

[Post-Chorus]

Ebm C# F# B

So where do you fit in?

Ebm C# F# B

So where do you fit in?

[Bridge]

Ebm C# F# B

I think I found my place to fill that empty space

That feeling we all chase (So where do you fit in?)

Ebm C# F# B

And we can sing off-key as long as we all see we sing it beautifully

Ebm C# F# B C#

Ebm C# F# B

My head was heavy with thoughts when I got home

C# Ebm C# F# B

I started to focus on my fears, I thought of dying alone

Ebm C# F# B

But how I hate to get caught in pointless thought

Self pity gets me nowhere

Ebm C# F# B

I guess we've all got things we're still working out

[Instrumental]

Ebm C# F# B C#

[Outro]

Ebm C# F# B C#

I think I found my place

Ebm C# F# B C#

I think I found my place

Ebm C# F# B C#

I think I found my place

Ebm C# F# B C#

I think I found my place
