[Verse 1]
ELosing balance as I wF#meigh out my options
AIt's an everyday morning routine
EThrough every F#mhazy memoryA  
EAt any second you could F#mrecap the climax
AIt's not as vivid as it used to be
EThrough every hF#mazy memoryA  
[Pre-Chorus]
The walls were buAilt so high
But cC#mouldn't keep their wBords out
The shelter tAhey provide
OnC#mly houses sBelf-doubt
[Chorus]
EI'm reclBaiming my compAosure
Lately I'll beC#mnd, smile and preBtend to be sAtable
EI've been avBoiding conversAation
But lately I'll bC#mend, smile and prBetend to be Astable
[Verse 2]
ELife's unfolding like F#mthe plot of a movie
NAot the version that everyone sees
EMy dreams laid oF#mut in front of meA  
(Like dreams laid out in front of me)
I never told anyoEne, F#mbut the truth is I Asee
EA shadow hF#manging over meA  
[Pre-Chorus]
The walls were buAilt so high
But cC#mouldn't keep their wBords out
