[Intro]
 F#m   C#   F#m   Bmx2
[Verse 1]
F#mYeah, sometimes I wanna disappear like I just don't exist
C#Or find a time machine and take me back when I was six
F#mMaybe younger, either way, I guess the point of it
BmWould be to tell that little kid that he's gon' take a lotta hits
F#mYeah, I'd probably grab your hand and tell you life is hard
C#If you got questions or you need advice, then talk to God
F#m'Cause He's the only one that listens even when you think He isn't
BmEven good people are great at makin' bad decisions, yeah (Oh)
F#mThey ain't gon' take it serious
YC#ou find out pretty quick that life is more than just appearances
I F#mknow some things we could avoid to save embarrassment
BBmut everything that breaks you down can also build your character
'F#mCause people love to see you fail, just be aware of it
DC#on't let nobody tell you who to be or write your narrative
LF#mook, we're all products of the things that we experience
BBmut there's a big difference between confidence and arrogance
 N.C.
You hearin' this?
F#mI know that you don't get it now, but you gon' get it later
C#I know you feel like you're alone and no one loves you maybe
F#mAnd you gon' cover insecurities with lotsa anger
BmThe weird thing is someday all of this will make you famous (Oh)
F#mYou start to write about your life and while they're all relatin'
C#You'll make up a slogan, call it "Real," but feel like you're the fakest
WF#mish I could tell you that your future's nothin' but amazin'
TBmhat's just not the case, and I guess I just don't know how to say this
[Chorus]
F#mI don't know if you can hear me or not
But if you cC#an, I just want you to know
You gon' make a lF#motta mistakes
And they gon' lF#maugh in our face
That's part of lBmife, that's just the way that it goes (That's just the way that it goes)
F#mAnd I don't know if you can hear me or not
But if you cC#an, I just need you to get it
I know you been queF#mstionin' life
Trust me, I kF#mnow what it's like
I'm here for yBmou if you need someone to listen
Do you need soBmmeone to listen?
[Verse 2]
F#mSee, Mom and Dad are not together, they took different routes
C#But you probably already knew, you gettin' older now
F#mRemember back when Mom picked us up from Grandma's house?
BmAnd she hid her boyfriend in the trunk and drove a couple miles?
F#mDown the street, and then she pulled over to let him out
C#'Cause she ain't want Dad to know she had these type of dudes around
F#m'Cause last time he found out, he had to take us from her
YBmou look uncomfortable, I'm sorry, let me change the subject (Hey)
F#mYou know how we've always struggled with abandonment? (Yeah)
C#And when we feel like someone's leaving, we start panickin'? (Yeah)
F#mAnd yo, I wish I could say I've learned to manage it
BmYou think it's bad now, but you don't know the half of it
PF#massion is somethin' we have never lacked
We see it the C#most when we're writin' raps
They think it's funny now, F#mlet 'em laugh
I know you think it's just an outlet when you're rBmeally mad
But you don't know the pBmlatform you're about to have (Oh)
F#mI know some things about the future you ain't ready for
C#I know some things that you gon' cover up, but can't ignore
F#mAnd what hurts is they gon' surface at the worst moments
BmAnd we gon' act like it don't hurt us, but it hurts, don't it?
F#mWe walk around with the devil talkin' on both shoulders
C#Wish I could tell you that he disappears when we get older
F#mBut that's just not the case, and I know you feel out of place
BmAnd everything is not okay, and life can be a lot to take, butâ¦
[Chorus]
F#mI don't know if you can hear me or not
But if you cC#an, I just want you to know
You gon' make a lF#motta mistakes
And they gon' lF#maugh in our face
That's part of lBmife, that's just the way that it goes (That's just the way that it goes)
F#mAnd I don't know if you can hear me or not
But if you C#can, I just need you to get it
I know you been quF#mestionin' life
Trust me, I F#mknow what it's like
I'm here for yBmou if you need someone to listen
Do you need soBmmeone to listen?
[Verse 3]
F#mYou know how intoxicated people make us nervous?
C#To the point sometimes we shake and it feels so disturbin'
F#mDon't be scared, that's just trauma tryna reach the surface
BmAnd tell us everyone we love is gonna try to hurt us
F#mWhich isn't true, but it's a lie that both of us believe in
C#Yeah, you might get a glimpse of happiness from your achievements
F#mBut what you'll learn as you get older, every time you reach one
BmIs you'll just make another goal that doesn't lead to freedom
F#mSee, some things about to happen that you can't imagine
C#At 24, you'll drop an album, and you'll call it Mansion
F#mAt 25, you'll put out Therapy and gain some traction
BmSkip to track number four, now that's a really sad one
F#mYeah, Perception's coming next, we 'bout to reach the masses
IC#t sounds awesome; at the same time, it doesn't matter
F#mAt 27, we'll make millions, but it's really sad 'cause
BmYou learn to realize that none of this will make you happy
[Outro]
F#mI wish that I could look at you with empathy
C#Sometimes I feel like I've become what you were scared to be
F#mWhich makes it really hard to look at you with sympathy
'Cause Bmif I'm feeling bad for you, then I have to feel bad for me
F#mAnd that's just something I feel like we don't deserve
C#That's why I'm always looking down on you, I know it hurts
F#mI'm sure you have a lot of questions
I've been tryna search to fBmind us both some answers
I'll be here for you if thBmings get worse
[Outro]
