[Intro]
G5    Gsus    G5    Gsus
[Verse 1]
G5                       Gsus
   I never meant to make it such a mess
G5                               Gsus
   I never thought that it would go this far
G5/B         Csus2      G5/Eb
   So I just stand here sorry
 G5/D          G5/C#
Searching for something to say
 Csus2
Something to say
   Csus2   D/F#
Words fail
   G(add2) Csus2/E
Words fail
       C(add2) D(add4)  G    Gsus    G    Gsus
There's nothing I can say
[Verse 2]
G                             Gsus
   I guess I thought I could be part of this
G                              Gsus
   I never had this kind of thing before
G5/B      Csus2  Cm/Eb       G5/D
   I never had that perfect girl
    A7(add4)               Csus2
Who somehow could see the good part of me
G                       Gsus
   I never had the dad who stuck it out
G                      Gsus
   No corny jokes or baseball gloves
G5/B      Csus2        Cm/Eb
   No mom who just was there
       G5/D     A7(add4)       D(add4)
'Cause "Mom" was all that she had to be
Em                  C(add2)
   That's not a worthy explanation
 G             Dsus/F#
I know there is none
Em                    Bm                  Am          D/A
   Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done
Am D/A Am Gmaj9/B C(add2) D(add2)/F#
               Words fail
   G5   Csus2/E
Words fail
         Fsus2         F(add2)/A
There's nothing I can say
[Bridge]
          G5/B         C(add2)           Csus2/E
Except, sometimes you see everything you wanted
  Fsus2    G5/B       C(add2)        Csus2/E
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
     Fsus2          G(add4)      Am7     G(add4)
And it's right there, right there, right there
C(add2)/E   F(add2)
In front of you
                C(add2)/E    F(add2)
And you want to believe it's true
   C(add2)/E   Fsus2
So you make it true
           Am7    C5/G  C5/E  Fsus2
And you think maybe everybody wants it,
             Cmaj/E        F(add2)
Needs it... A little bit... too
[Instrumental]
Bb5/F    F5    Bb5/F
F5/A  Bbsus2  Bbm/Db  F5/C
G(add4)/B        Bbsus2
[Verse 3]
Dm                  Bbsus2
   This was just a sad invention
F5               F5/E
   It wasn't real, I know
Dm
  But we were happy
Am                   Bbsus2
   I guess I couldn't let that go
                   F5/A
I guess I couldn't give that up
                         Dm7
I guess I wanted to believe
                     C(add4)
'Cause if I just believe
                      Bbsus2              Bb(add2)
Then I don't have to see what's really there
                     Dm7
No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than
  Bb(add2)
These broken parts
      F
Pretend I'm something other than
    C(add4)
This mess that I am
           Dm7
'Cause then I don't have to look at it
   Bb(add2)
And no one gets to look at it
 F5/A
No,
Bb(add2)      C(add4)
   No one can really see
[Chorus]
Am7                     F(add2) G(add4)
  'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
C5/E      F(add2) G(add4)
   Before I even turn the key
Am7       F(add2) G(add4)
   Before I make the mistake
C/E       F(add2)          Am7   G(add4)
   Before I lead with the worst of me
  C5/E          Fsus2       Am    G
I never let them see the worst of me
[Verse 4]
C/E  Fsus2/E  Csus2/E
                   'Cause what if everyone saw?
C/F  Fsus2  Csus/F
                    What if everyone knew?
C/E  Fsus2/E  Csus2/E
                    Would they like what they saw?
C/F  Fsus2           Am7       G(add4)
          Or would they hate it too?
Dm7               Am7  G(add4) C5/E      F(add2)
   Will I just keep on running away from what's true?
Am        Fsus2    G(add4)
All I ever do is run
          Dm7        Fsus2
So how do I step in,
                C Csus/D Fsus2     C Csus/D Fsus2
Step into the sun?
                C Dm7 Fsus2        C Dm7 Fsus2
Step into the sun
[Outro]
C Dm7 Fsus2        C Dm7 Fsus2
