Verse 1:

Am Well you don't like that way that I am (is not the way) F Way that you want and the way you understand (but I can't) C Can't help being the way that I am (it's just the way) G Way that it is and what I know so sorry about Am All of these things that I be and I know (it's all me) F And not you but this ain't how I wish (it to be) C For you and your way and I know (it's all me) G Just know that I know, I know it's all on me

Pre-Chorus

F G Am All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho F G Am Fragmented to the point of is it possible?
F G Am F Hot on the trail of a real fine life F G Am F This could be what it means to be alive F G Am F Can't be too sure but it feels the right way F G Am Love is infinite like sun rays

Verse 2:

F G C I know what I need to be me F G C And I know being me makes it hard to see F G C Standing on a precipice isn't new F G C Those demons sometimes get me seeing blue

Bridge:

F G All this, call this, what you want but it C F Makes me feel alive F G Stowed it , showed it, now I know it C F Can't be in my mind F G It was foreign, pouring, I've been storing C F This for a long while F G I consumed, felt doomed, sung a new tune C F Eventually in time

Verse 3:

Am But you don't like that way that I feel (is the way) F Way that makes you feel worse all of the time (and I know) C Know that it's not okay for you (and it's not) G Not for me and is for you so sorry about
Am All of these things that you didn't sign up for (and I don't) F Don't wish the pain on you it's so sore (but I've been) C Honest to fault (but it doesn't help) G I know that hurts and it hurts and it keeps on hurting Am Every single time we try and try to F make things right for you and I C We just kept digging, digging it deep E Below our feet 'till we started to sink Am And I didn't know what what to do F I told myself the truth the truth C And I could understand and you could understand E7 But how could we stand, when there was nowhere to stand? Am And all the little things that get under our skin F Didn't make us better in that heavy weather C I hope that it's better but never upsetter E7 We took ours hands, made some vague plan

Pre-Chorus

F G Am All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho F G Am Fragmented to the point of is it possible?
F G C F Hot on the trail of a real fine life F G C F This could be what it means to be alive F G C F Can't be too sure but it feels the right way F G C Love is infinite like sun rays

Verse 4:

F G C I know what I need to be me F G C And I know being me makes it hard to see F G C The distance hasn't always been clear F G C E But finally with our love it could appear F And you don't like what it is G And you don't know what it is F And I can't sum it up easily G But I know what it is that I plainly see
Am Yeah who could have liked what it was? F It caused such a fuss C My heart placed in your hand G Then we gave love a chance and
Final A5 F5 C E Am F C E Am F G C E F G Am F G Am F G C F F G C F F G C
