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

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


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


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

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

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


Chorus:

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


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