[Verse 1]
CHello, hopGe, it's been a Amwhile
FI thought I was dGamned to watch Clife through my Ghands
NCow I'm not Gin the place I thought IAm'd be
FMakes looking bCack a whole lot sGimpler
[Pre-chorus]
I Fthought that I could be the Amdifference
FI thought I could ouGtsmart all the Ampain
But Flike life advice that's scrawled aAmcross a bathroom stall
It wasted everyone's Gtime
[Chorus]
SFo now I'm saying goodCbye
AmAnd I'm learning to Gfend for myself
Now, Fwe started playing with Cfire
AmBelieving that it Gwould just keep us Fwarm
Well, there's no need to Crun
AmWhen you're traveling Gdown the Amwrong road
FYeah, There's no need to Crun
AmWhen you're traveling Gdown the wrong roadF  
[Verse 2]
CCan't see the Gforest for the Amtrees
FHeard it plenty of Gtimes, but now I Cknow what it Gmeans
CIf you hold too Gtight you're bound to Amlose
FThe very tChings you've decided arGe precious
[Pre-chorus]
FNow I've learned I'm not so sAmpecial
FNo need to Gcarry all that Amweight
FYou don't have to ask if you're Amallowed to fall apart
So now I just Gsay:
[Chorus]
FThere ain't no Cfixing this, but I Amlike Gthat you Ftried
Sometimes the hardest Cpart is being righGt
FThere ain't nCo helping me, but AmI likGe that yoFu lied
Sometimes it's worth the Gburn marks to feel the Amlight
And FI don't wanna know Cwhy
AmI just want to know Ghow to move on now
FThe past is buried in Ctime
AmAnd the future's an Ganxious invention
OFh, and you never aCrrive
AmUnless you acGcept your dead ends
FYeah, you will never aCrrive
AmUnless you make Gpeace with your dead ends
[Outro](half bar each)

Hello, hope, it's been a while

F C G

Makes looking back a whole lot simpler

[Pre-chorus]

F Am

I thought that I could be the difference

F G Am

I thought I could outsmart all the pain

F Am

But like life advice that's scrawled across a bathroom stall

It wasted everyone's time

[Chorus]

F C

So now I'm saying goodbye

Am G

And I'm learning to fend for myself

F C

Now, we started playing with fire

Am G F

Believing that it would just keep us warm

Well, there's no need to run

Am G Am

When you're traveling down the wrong road

When you're traveling down the wrong road

C G Am

Can't see the forest for the trees

F G C G

Heard it plenty of times, but now I know what it means

C G Am

If you hold too tight you're bound to lose

F C G

The very things you've decided are precious

[Pre-chorus]

F Am

Now I've learned I'm not so special

F G Am

No need to carry all that weight

F Am

You don't have to ask if you're allowed to fall apart

So now I just say:

[Chorus]

F C Am G F

There ain't no fixing this, but I like that you tried

C G

Sometimes the hardest part is being right

F C Am G F

There ain't no helping me, but I like that you lied

Sometimes it's worth the burn marks to feel the light

F C

And I don't wanna know why

Am G

I just want to know how to move on now

F C

The past is buried in time

Am G

And the future's an anxious invention

F C

Oh, and you never arrive

Am G

Unless you accept your dead ends

Unless you make peace with your dead ends

[Outro](half bar each)
