     D MajorD             E MajorE
From confidence to self doubt in 60 seconds.
     G+G          D MajorD
Storming stages and stereos

from here to there,
Hm            D MajorD
 trying to prove that I belong.
     E MajorE      G+G   D MajorD
Trying to win approval from people that I don't know.


Chorus:                       Bm:
G+G     B minorBm   Hm               e:--6--
  And I look so strong            H:--6--
     D MajorD         G+G          G:--6--
when the weight of all the world        D:--8--
   A augmentedA     D MajorD                A:--8--
don't take it's toll.              E:--6--
G+G      B minorBm    Hm
  And I'd choose my sides
    E MajorE         G+G
if I believed in what was right,
  A augmentedA    D MajorD
but I'm all wrong.

Hm                       D MajorD
 I'm not larger than life, I'm not taller than trees.
                    E MajorE
Do I mean what I say? Is it just this disease
G+G         D MajorD
 where I never go home.
Hm                      D MajorD
 Never telling the truth how this life eats away.

Not admitting I'm fake
    E MajorE            G+G
and I'm questioning whether this whole thing was worth it
  D MajorD
to die poor and all alone?

                     Don't tell me...

D MajorD  C#C# A augmentedA  Hm       A augmentedA
this doesn't mean the world,
     D MajorD
'cause my ears would bleed
  F#F# E MajorE   D MajorD   H  A augmentedA  D MajorD
and my heart would hit the floor.


Chorus:

Slow it down at the end and finish it of with a D MajorD


This is how I play this song and I think it sounds right...
at least if you play it alone!
