Intro 1
(G major) (G major) (G major) (G major)
Verse 1
(G major) I never meant to make it such a (C major) mess
(G major) I never thought that it would go (C major) this far
(G major) So I just stand here (C minor) sorry
(G major) Searching for (A major) something to say
(C major) Something to say
Words fail, (D major) words (G major) fail (E minor)
There's (C major) nothing I (D major) can say
(G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major)

Verse 2
(G major) I guess I thought I could be (C major) part of this
(G major) I never had this kind of thing (C major) before
(G major) I never had (C major) that (C minor) perfect girl (G major)
Who (A major) somehow could see
the good (C major) part of me
Verse 3
(G major) I never had the dad who (C major) stuck it out
(G major) No corny jokes or base (C major) ball gloves
(G major) No mom (C major) who just was (C minor) there
'Cause mom (G major) was all (A major) that she had (D major) to be
Pre-chorus 1
(E minor) That's not a worthy (C major) explanation
I (G major) know there (D major) is none
(E minor) Nothing can make (B minor) sense
of all these things (A minor) I've done
Words (G major)
Chorus 1
(C major) fail, (D major) words (G major) fail (E minor)
There's (F major) nothing I can say
Except some (G major) times,
you see (C major) everything you (E minor) wanted
And (F major) sometimes (G major)
you see (C major) everything you (E minor) wish you had
And it's (F major) right there, (G major) right there, (A minor) right (G major) there
Bridge 1
(E minor) In front of (F major) you
And you want to be (E minor) lieve it's (F major) true
So you (E minor) make it (F major) true
And you think (A minor) maybe (C major) every (E minor) body (F major) wants it
And needs it, a (C major) little bit (F major) too
(B flat major) (F major) (B flat major)
(F major) (B flat major) (B flat minor) (F major)
(G major) (B flat major)
Verse 4
(D minor) This was just a sad (B flat major) invention
(F major) It wasn't real, (A minor) I know
(D minor) But we were happy
(A minor) I guess I couldn't (B flat major) let that go
I guess I couldn't (F major) give that up
I guess I wanted to believe (D minor)
'Cause if I just believe (C major)
Then I don't have to see (B flat major) what's really there (D minor)
Verse 5
No, I'd rather pretend (D minor)
I'm something better
than these (B flat major) broken parts
Pretend (F major) I'm something other
than this (C major) mess that I am
'Cause then I (D minor) don't have to look at it
And (B flat major) no one gets to look at it
No, (F major) (B flat major) no one can real (C major) ly see
Chorus 2
(A minor) 'Cause I've learned to (F major) slam (G major) on the brake
(C major) Before I (F major) even turn (G major) the key
(A minor) Before I (F major) make (G major) the mistake
(C major) Before I (F major) lead with the worst (A minor) of me (G major)
I (E minor) never let them (F major) see the worst (A minor) of (G major) me
Bridge 2
(C major) (A minor) (G major)
'Cause what if everyone saw?
(F major) (G major)
What if everyone everyone knew?
(C major) (A minor) (G major)
Would they like what they saw?
(F major) Or would they (A minor) hate it (G major) too?
(D minor) Will I just (A minor) keep on run (G major) ning away
(E minor) from what's (F major) true?
Outro 1
(A minor) All I ever do (F major) is run (C major)
So how do I (D minor) step in (F major)
Step into the sun? (C major) (D minor) (F major)
(C major) (D minor) (F major)
Step into the sun (C major) (D minor) (F major)
(C major) (D minor) (F major)
(C major) (D minor) (F major)
(C major) (D minor) (F major)
