Verse 1
D 
Two years ago today
Ab 
I just pulled the blanket
s off the mirrors
For the first time, I'm surprised
G 
at the new lines on my face
That remind me how I
tried to catch an illusion
D 
Ab 
Hiding from me, hiding from face
In the heart of what I hoped to be
G 
Kept on my exit,
someone else's basket
Thinking they would care enough
to not let someone smash it
D 
What's wrong with me?
Ab 
I got this need to give back
to a world that gave me
G 
And if I do just fuck myself,
it's like I'm selfish
Cause I always had this thing
about staying grounded and down
D 
You know it's not fair,
worth it to share
Ab 
With the people I picked,
an asshole to prove they care
G 
And I feel like a pussy
saying shit out loud
But I'm opening my eyes
and I see myself now
D 
Well I left myself behind
Ab 
E 
While chasing after dreams
G 
I could never find
D 
I live for all your lies
Ab 
I'm a sheep who you cannot
plug at any time
G 
Just realize today,
D 
Ab 
D 
G 
love's wasted away
D 
Or maybe it's too late,
Ab 
the end has a date
And I'm cramming for the final test
G 
It hasn't been a total mess,
I'm just striving for higher
And humility will build me if I confess
D 
Some people do what they chose
Ab 
Some people look for every bump in the road
G 
Some pretend and they
play a good role
For the people that depend,
they all come and go
D 
Wrote half an album in two long days
Ab 
as I reflected and tried to take
G 
a hard next step of a spiritual kind
So maybe I could find some sense
as I pick apart a burdened mind
D 
And so I spread out on the floor
Ab 
all the pieces that I thought were fully formed
G 
I say how much more I've got to go
I reach for a new trial
to better keep my soul
D 
Well, I left myself behind
Ab 
while chasing after dreams
G 
I could never find
D 
Well, I lived for all your lies,
Ab 
E 
G 
a machine for you could unplug at any time
I just realized today
