CmI'm about to lose the allusion, my heart
FmPictures that I thought that could faint
BbColours I’ve just come along getting blurred
Like it Gain’t never gonna be the same
And I Cmknow that I've messed up with the chances I got
FmAll I do is try to make it right
BbAll I do is try to make it right
Guess I'll Gdo this all my life
[Chorus]
CmNothing ever seems to be Fmeasy
BbAll I do is stand in the Ebrain
CmI don't really know how to Fmget there
Just Bbtell me 'bout the rules of the Ebgame

[Verse 1]

I'm about to lose the allusion, my heart

Pictures that I thought that could faint
