[Intro]
A D A D
[Verse 1]
These are the days of the Aunderdog
The counted outs
The Dones you don't see coming
Times of the F#mleft-behinds
The underneaths
The Eheart that's tired but still keeps running
AYeah man it's been a year
DSometimes I wish I could disappear
F#mHad a door slammed and my heart broken
EBut somehow the window's still open
[Pre-Chorus]
DSilent voices I've never heard
AAll waiting to say the words
F#mHeld up and kept inside
EBut we don't have to hide
[Chorus]
Tell me I am not the Aonly
One here feeling F#mlonely
Tell me I don't Ehave to try so Dhard
Tell me I'm alright and Athen say
It's all gonna be F#mokay
Tell me you'll be Ecareful with my Dheart
[Verse 2]
These are the days of the Ahard fight
The dark night
And the Dlight I use against it
And they F#mtell me no
Still go for broke
And keep Eswinging for the fences
Kids Akeep getting a little bit older
And Dthe news outside keeps getting colder
So F#mheavy I can't put it down
So EI keep on carrying it around
[Pre-Chorus]
DHold on to the [wild?] within
AI learned to smile and pretend
F#mOutside nobody knows
EThere's a fire deep down below
[Chorus]
Tell me I am not the Aonly
One here feeling F#mlonely
Tell me I don't Ehave to try so Dhard
Tell me I'm alright and Athen say
It's all gonna be F#mokay
Tell me you'll be Ecareful with my Dheart
Tell me I am not the Aonly
One here feeling F#mlonely
Tell me I don't Ehave to try so Dhard
Tell me I'm alright and Athen say
It's all gonna be F#mokay
Tell me you'll be Ecareful with my Dheart

[Intro]

A D A D

[Verse 1]

These are the days of the underdog

The counted outs

The ones you don't see coming

F#m

Times of the left-behinds

The underneaths

The heart that's tired but still keeps running

Yeah man it's been a year

Sometimes I wish I could disappear

F#m

Had a door slammed and my heart broken

But somehow the window's still open

[Pre-Chorus]

Silent voices I've never heard

All waiting to say the words

Held up and kept inside

But we don't have to hide

Tell me I am not the only

Tell me I don't have to try so hard

Tell me I'm alright and then say

It's all gonna be okay

E D

Tell me you'll be careful with my heart

[Verse 2]

These are the days of the hard fight

The dark night

And the light I use against it

F#m

And they tell me no

Still go for broke

And keep swinging for the fences

Kids keep getting a little bit older

And the news outside keeps getting colder

F#m

So heavy I can't put it down

So I keep on carrying it around

[Pre-Chorus]

Hold on to the [wild?] within

I learned to smile and pretend

F#m

Outside nobody knows

There's a fire deep down below

[Chorus]

Tell me I am not the only

F#m

One here feeling lonely

E D

Tell me I don't have to try so hard

Tell me I'm alright and then say

It's all gonna be okay
