Fm
I settled down
A twisted up frown
Fm
Disguised as a smile well
C# Eb
You would have never known
Fm
I have it all
But not when I wanted
'Cause over me was a
place uncharted
C# Eb
And overgrown
Refrain 1:
Fm Ab
You make your way in
Eb
I resist you just like this
C# Fm
You can't tell me to feel
Ab
The truth never set me free
Eb C# NC
So I did it myself
Chorus 1:
Fm C#
You can't be too careful anymore
Ab Bbm
When all that is waiting for you
Fm C#
Won't come any closer
Ab Eb
You've got to reach a little

Verse 2:
Fm
Open your eyes
Like I opened mine
It's only the real world
C# Eb
Life you will never know
Fm
Shifting your way
To throw off the pain
Well you can ignore it
C# Eb
But only for so long
Refrain 2:
Fm Ab
You look like I did
Eb
You resist me just like this
C# Fm
You can't tell me to he-al
Ab
And it hurts remembering

How it felt to shut down
