[Verse 1]
FA billion stars fill the Csky
It’s 2AM and I don’t know Dmwhy
I’m still Bbblinking
I can’t stop thinking
FA billion worlds I can’t Csee
Wonder if I mean a Dmthing
I’m only Bbhuman
Just another human
[Pre-Chorus]
Stuck Dmwondering when my life will Fbegin
Is this Gmall
Was I only meant to Bbfall over
DmOver and over Fagain
I’m Gmstill waiting
BbHelpless contemplating
[Chorus]
Am DmI still here I Fthought by now
I’d Gmknow things I Bbdon’t
I’m Dmtired of all these Fquestions
I don’t Gmknow what I Bbwant
So I Dmwish on every star I Fsee
GmHoping they’ll take care of Bbme
Is Dmeverything I’m Fwaiting forGm  
Waiting for Bbme?

[Verse 1]

F C

A billion stars fill the sky

It’s 2AM and I don’t know why

I’m still blinking

I can’t stop thinking

A billion worlds I can’t see

Wonder if I mean a thing

I’m only human

Just another human

[Pre-Chorus]

Stuck wondering when my life will begin

Is this all

Was I only meant to fall over

Over and over again

I’m still waiting

Helpless contemplating

Am I still here I thought by now

I spend my nights awake in bed

I waste my time lost in my head

The silence around me

Will I be what I see when I close my eyes

When I close my eyes

I wonder when my life will begin

Over and over again

Sick and tired of waiting
