* = One Strum
[Intro]
F*
[Verse]
     Dm*   C*      A#*
I’ve never felt so selfish but yes,
     Dm*           C*  A#*
I confess this was all for me,
  Dm*     C*   A#*
I made it out and all I’ve found,
Is I don’t A#know where to go or who to be.
[Interlude]
Dm*  C*
[Pre-Chorus]
   A#*                         Dm*  C*
Maybe it’s better I do this alone
   A#*                           Dm*  C*
Maybe it’s better to never get too   close
A#*
   I don’t wanna give anyone
The chDmance to Clet me A#go.
[Chorus]
            C*                     Dm*
Because I’m too young to feel this hopeless
F*         A#*
Too old to be this scared and unprepared
         C*
For what I’ve got coming
          Dm*          C*               A#*
I’ve been running from my problems all my life.
[Verse 2]
And they’re A#catching up to me,
and I’m trying to believe,
That there’s a Dmworld out Cthere that could,
FFind a place for A#me,
But I don’t A#know who you want me to be,
          Dm  C*
So I’ll go.
[Pre-Chorus]
   A#*                           Dm  C*
Maybe it’s better I do this alone,
   A#*                          Dm  
Maybe it’s better to never hold onto,
The Cthings that make A#me feel complete
and I can learn to feel whole on my own.
[Chorus]
            C*                     Dm*
Because I’m too young to feel this hopeless,
F*         A#*
Too old to be this scared and unprepared,
         C*
For what I’ve got coming,
          Dm*          C*               A#*
I’ve been running from my problems all my life.
[Verse 3]
And now I’m Ctoo close to be this Dmcareless,
I Fcan’t afford to A#pass this by,
 we’re all running out of time,
And I just Cwanna know,
FHow to make the A#most of mine.
[Verse 4]
           A#*
But no one has the time for me,
                 A#*
And it’s getting harder to believe,
               Dm*       C*
That there’s a world out there that could,
F*       C*           A#    Dm    F    Dm  F  
Find a place for me.
[Outro]
I’m Fstarting to believe that A#nothings meant to be,
And if that’s Dmtrue I guess that Fthis is up to A#me,
But I'm still Dmhoping you’ll Ccome aA#long,
To be the Dmperson to Cprove me wrA#ong,
                             C        Dm         F  A#*     A#*
And I’ll end up exactly where I was supposed to   be.
