E                                             Caug
  I know I've said it once but I still tell myself again and again
Amaj9                      E        (Amaj9)
  "You'll never be enough", but what is enough?
C#m                      F#m7b5
  You're selfless, isn't that enough?

[Verse 4]
E                             Caug
  Banana bread before I go to bed will put the bees to sleep
E                                              Caug
  Otherwise they'd buzz and sting my lungs all night inside of me
Amaj9                     E          (Amaj9)
  Just wait a little while, you don't cry too much
C#m                                F#m7b5
  You know that when you smile the sun shines more gently
