G
I wanna be a lot of things, so much pent up inside of me
Bm
I want to be stronger too long I've sat here undecidedly
D
Planning strategy, half of me knows it's all just a fallacy
Em
Failing miserably, drastically and then I crash dramatically
G
Into a wall, I've hit a hundred times before
Bm

G

Bm

D

Em
And the lightning reveals where the ocean stops and the sky starts
G
I've been told by the sky that the ocean I shall win
Bm
But It's hard for me to see where the ocean stops and sky begins
D
And random srtikes of light remind me of what is true
Em
But right now the ocean is blacker than black and the sky is too
