[Verse 1]
I aGsk myself, will I Dever change?
A broken record can't Bmturn the page
Take a Glong hard look in the Dbathroom mirror
Head in my hands, how'd I Bmend up here?
But the Gdays go on, people Din their lanes
Can't rid the doubts or Bmditch the shame
GLittle laughs and Dcoping lies, I tell myself it's Bma disguisDeBm  
[Chorus]
When GI wake up, when I Dwake up
It's written on my Bmface
When GI wake up, when I Dwake up
Say today's the day that I'm gonna GchangeD  Bm  
I'm gonna fucking Gchange, find a Dway
Fight the urge, leave yesterBmday
I'm gonna fucking GchangeD  Bm

A Gweekend stayed, those Dstupid nights
The worst decisions Bmof my life
And I Gwish I could take Dit all back
But we know life doesn't Bmwork like that
So my Gguard is up, can I Dlet it down?
I don't know love, lost Gnever found
Start to wonder what's Dwrong with me
Because everyone else has Bmfound their feet
I was Gliving hard Dand running out of timeBm  
GLet the forts of Dcourage confine BmitG  
I don't know, DI don't know anymore, BmnoG  
I don't know, DI don't know anymoreBm  
[Chorus]
When GI wake up, when I Dwake up
It's written on my Bmface
When GI wake up, when I Dwake up
Say today's the day that I'm gonna GchangeD  Bm  
[Outro]
She said you'Dre fucked up
She said you're so fucked Bmup
She said you'Dre fucked up
She said you're so fucked Bmup
Said I'm gonna Dchange, find a way
Fight the urge, leave yesterBmday
Said I'm gonna Dchange, find a way
Fight the urge, fuck yesterday

I ask myself, will I ever change?

A broken record can't turn the page

Take a long hard look in the bathroom mirror

Head in my hands, how'd I end up here?

But the days go on, people in their lanes

Can't rid the doubts or ditch the shame

G D Bm D Bm

Little laughs and coping lies, I tell myself it's a disguise

[Chorus]

When I wake up, when I wake up

It's written on my face

[Verse 2]

A weekend stayed, those stupid nights

The worst decisions of my life

G D

And I wish I could take it all back

But we know life doesn't work like that

So my guard is up, can I let it down?

I don't know love, lost never found

Start to wonder what's wrong with me

Because everyone else has found their feet

G D Bm

I was living hard and running out of time

G D Bm G

Let the forts of courage confine it
