Verse 1
(F sharp major) No one grows in someone
else's shadow.
Need your space.
Your place in the sun.
But learning to be (D sharp minor) your own
best friend
(F sharp major) takes time.
And you've just begun.
Just because something's (C sharp major) good
Don't tell yourself (B major) that'll make it right
(F sharp major) I'll let the good (B major) sense of day
(F sharp major) Give way to the (G sharp minor) madness
of (B major) these (C sharp major) night (D sharp major) s
(C sharp major) I'm the one (G sharpdim) who (E major) thought (F sharpsus4)
she (B major) had (E major) the an (A major) swers
(D major) In control and knowing it all
But (A major) setting your sights too (D major) high
on (A major) someone else
(B major) That's (E major) when you fall
(A major) I could (E major) make an (F sharp minor) art of
self (E major) -deception
Love's (D major) a (G minor) game (D major) to someone like him
As (E major) (A major) so many women do (D major)
I (C sharp major) played along (F sharp minor)
Get (A major) ting the (E major) right thing wrong (B flat major) (F sharp major)
Just because something's (C sharp major) good
You tell yourself that'll (B major) make it right
(F sharp major) I let the good (B major) sense of day
(F sharp major) Give way to the (G sharp minor) madness of (B major) his (C sharp major) night
Sad (E flat minor) der and (C sharp major) wiser now
He certainly opene (B major) d up (F sharp major) my eyes
But even when (B major) you know the truth
(F sharp major) This doesn't stop you long
(G sharp minor) ing for (B major) the (C sharp major) light (E flat major) (C sharp major)
No one (E major) grows in (F sharpsus4) someone else's (E major) shadow
(D major) Need your space, your place in the sun
But (A major) learning to be your (D major) own best friend
(A major) Takes time, (B major) and (A major) I've just begun
And I tell you (A sharp major) I feel so (D major) bad right now, (G major)
(G minor) but I'll (D minor) recov (B flat major) er
(E flat major) Being hurt (A flat minor) is be (E flat major) ing alive
But (B flat major) I can survive, (E flat major) I'm strong
I (D major) won't go (G minor) on
(B flat major) Getting the (F major) right thing wrong (B flat major)
Getting the right thing wrong
Getting the right thing wrong
Getting the right thing wrong
Getting the right thing wrong
