Verse 1
(C major) We were all at Matt’s (F major) house
in the base (A minor) ment
hanging out (E minor) and gettin drunk (C major)
We took the (F major) blood from both our fin (A minor) gers
and we pressed (E minor) it on our tongues (C major)
We’re in the (F major) forest with the trees (A minor)
And this is so (E minor) much history (C major)
Well, what about (F major) my history? (A minor) (E minor)
Verse 2
Coward
(C major) I don't know what to (F major) tell you man
Those jokes (A minor) are three years old
And (E minor) I didn't know anyone
was un (C major) comfortable
Yeah well I (F major) hope you
and your fucking (A minor) kids starve, man
And I hope (E minor) that Wes
fucking (C major) dies in a car crash (F major)
And how about I fucking (A minor) trash his bar
(E minor) So you guys can't make anything (C major) else
'Cause you guys think
you're (F major) fuckin' better than me
(A minor) And I am not out of (E minor) line
She said that (C major) I cannot identi (F major) fy with a band
Unless (A minor) I know everything
a (E minor) bout their lead singer
(C major) What does he look like?
(F major) What are his motives?
She (A minor) said that he hates her
(E minor) Said that he hit her
And (C major) I will be the first to ad (F major) mit
That there is something (A minor) wrong
inside of my (E minor) brain
My bipol (C major) ar makes me feel fog (F major) gy
And I am de (A minor) velopmentally de (E minor) layed
And sometimes (C major) I lash out
And I (F major) hit
Like a child (A minor) who was taught (E minor) not to hit
But I (C major) know I am better than (F major) that
So I have (A minor) been in rehabilita (E minor) tion and therapy

Verse 3
It's (C major) hard for me to (F major) feel like I'm growing
When (A minor) I read all of these (F major) things online
But (C major) I know maturity (F major) is the journey
And (A minor) hail Satan, I have ar (E minor) rived
I've (C major) let my mental (F major) illness define
The last (A minor) 10 years of my life (E minor)
In social cir (C major) cles that were (F major) bad for me
Acting out (A minor) and fighting on (E minor) line
I hate when (C major) people say
they have (F major) mental illness
But they (A minor) still know how to act (E minor)
I think they (C major) think that they can fool (F major) you
With bravery and (A minor) judgement and (E minor) fact
Verse 4
I am hap (C major) py that all my personal (F major) struggles
Have been aired out (A minor) for you all to see
(E minor) Because the choice (C major) to accept mental (F major) illness
is no longer (A minor) just up to me (E minor)
It is up to you (C major) to see what I've done
Un (F major) der the microscope
My (A minor) entire life (E minor)
Narcissis (C major) tic mentally
(F major) When I see people come in (A minor)
and try to define (E minor)
My (C major) complicated (F major) spirit
And my (A minor) complicated soul (E minor)
I am (C major) mentally unwell (F major)
But like (A minor) you I have a (E minor) soul
Verse 5
And I am not (C major) the person that they (F major) say I am
But those (A minor) parts of me exist (E minor)
They are tox (C major) ic
They are e (F major) vil
I'm disgust (A minor) ed
Just like (E minor) him
And I ab (C major) used my medica (F major) tion
And I lied (A minor) and said I'm fine (E minor)
But I was (C major) angry
Saying (F major) "faggot" behind closed (A minor) doors
and still online (E minor)
And I could talk (C major) about
the suicide at (F major) tempts I've had
Since (A minor) everything went up (E minor)
And the four weeks I (C major) spent hospitalized (F major)
But you would tell (A minor) me
that it's not enough (E minor)
So what exact (C major) ly is enough?
(F major) How much hate does it take (A minor)
to fix an abuser's (E minor) mental state
And (C major) mind
To make sure that (F major) at the same time
(A minor) He gets his?
(E minor) And we talk about ac
Verse 6
(C major) countability
(F major) And what that looks like (A minor) individually (E minor)
So let me own up
(C major) Right here right (F major) now
And say I take (A minor) full accountabili (E minor) ty
For being tox (C major) ic and abusive (F major)
And mislead (A minor) ing with my life (E minor)
And for an (C major) ger that we (F major) pray for
When I cry (A minor) for you at night
(E minor) And you know you don't (C major) forgive
And I (F major) know you won't forget
(A minor) And I'm glad you all (E minor) feel better
For the (C major) things that you said (F major)
And I am sorry for the (A minor) pain
And the things that (E minor) I have said
(C major) And the people that I (F major) threatened
And I (A minor) still wish that I was (E minor) dead
And if I had (C major) a normal brain (F major)
Then everything would be the (A minor) same
But I don't (E minor)
Bridge 1
(C major) (A minor) (F major)
I'm writ (C major) ing this letter
to apologize to ev (A minor) eryone I (F major) hurt
I wish I could (C major) take back the things
I have said and done (A minor)
But I am un (F major) able
I found out re (C major) cently that I have BPD
And that does (A minor) n't excuse my actions (F major)
But it's quite the op (C major) posite
I am ashamed at my lack of ma (A minor) turity
To follow through (F major) with
enough doc (C major) tors and medication
And I lied (A minor) when I said
I was on (F major) a path to recovery
(C major) I was actually on a downwards spiral
Ab (A minor) using Xanax
and (F major) those who were close to me (C major)
And those people from Medi (A minor) na
know (F major) I'm mentally ill
But they (C major) set the precedence that I was not
(A minor) Which is my (F major) fault
I know that the (C major) best thing for my family
and my future (A minor)
Is to step away (F major) from music
and the public (C major) eye
And I had this sickening drive (A minor) to suc (F major) ceed
And I was insane (C major) ly jealous
Of bands like The Front Bottoms
(A minor) But that's the eight (F major) een- year- old me
I nev (C major) er grew out of being
So let me transi (A minor) tion now
into be (F major) ing an adult
I'm (D7sus4) speaking to my daughter and my wife
And I want you to know
How beautiful (F major) you are
And how I lay (C major) awake at night
Studying how I can be (A minor) come a better man (F major)
And separate my (C major) self from the things
that are bad for me
And I (A minor) love you more
(F major) than fall loves autumn leaves (C major)
And I love the idea
Of leav (A minor) ing McCafferty (F major) behind
Outro 1
And that's ex (C major) actly what I'm doing
Right here
Right now (A minor)
There are (F major) many lessons I have learned
from (C major) my journey
And when I look back at (A minor) it
Those lessons (F major) take time and pain to (C major) set in
I am sorry to eve (A minor) ryone
for my (F major) lack of social skills
(C major) And making people un (F major) comfortable
And I (A minor) wanna thank everyone
(E minor) who has listened
(C major) If you are someone (F major)
With a past that you re (A minor) gret
Let (E minor) these words be your safe place (C major)
(F major) (A minor) (E minor)
(C major) (F major) (A minor) I'm done (E minor)
