Intro 1

Verse 1
A 
D 
Bm 
Sometimes I  underestimate
G 
A 
the time it takes to get
Bm 
G 
From here to where I wanna be
D 
A 
Bm 
D 
G 
A 
in my own head
D 
Bm 
I set my sights too far away
and then
G 
A 
I'm always upset when I
Bm 
D 
can't reach them
G 
D 
But I'm getting closer and I
Bm 
guess that's all that I can say
A 
G 
D 
I'm trying not to be distracted
Bm 
A 
by the fact that you're so far away
G 
D 
But all my thoughts feel so typical
A 
G 
D 
Of growing up before you
A 
start getting old
G 
D 
How have I held myself back for so long
G 
D 
A 
When it seems so easy now?
G 
What if it takes change
D 
A 
to see things differently?
G 
D 
A 
Oh, and I'll sleep well tonight
G 
Just knowing I'll wake
Bm 
G 
up next to you, oh
D 
Bm 
A 
But you expect too much
Bm 
That's why I let you down
G 
D 
G 
D 
And you complain constantly
A 
Bm 
Try honesty
G 
D 
Try improving all the time
Bm 
G 
Try never needing sympathy
D 
A 
For the doubts that cloud your mind
G 
D 
A 
But I  know this might just sound typical
G 
D 
Of a girl who's growing up
A 
and not getting old
G 
D 
How have I held myself back for so long
G 
D 
A 
When it seems so easy now
G 
Why does it take change
D 
A 
to see things differently
G 
D 
A 
Oh and I'll sleep well tonight
G 
Bm 
G 
D 
Just knowing I'll wake up
A 
Bm 
D 
G 
But I wake up  just to close my eyes again
D 
Bm 
I never wanna get up,
D 
G 
but it's too easy to pretend
D 
Bm 
D 
So I lift this lazy head
G 
D 
and drag it to a deck
Bm 
And try to fill it with the
D 
G 
things  I need
A 
Don't want to wake up again
