♫ Verse :
                 G
It’s not what I thought it would feel like

The praise that’s seeping in
                C
It goes out as quick as it comes
                           G
Like it’s carried by some strong wind

       Am                     D
And I know what it seems like
                                  G
That I’m thinking on leaving again




♫ Verse :
            G
Well maybe I’m just a little shallow

And if it’s true that still waters run deep
           C
Well then I’ve been swiftly moving
                                 G
Can the others see right through me?

          Am                     D
My masquerades and my illusions
                         G
That I crafted so carefully
                  Am              D
Well, I’m just a broken illusion
                                G
I’m not as tough as I oughta be


         Am    D    G

♫ Verse :
           G
Well, the flowers my mama bought me

They only keep for two weeks
               C
And then they just become another reminder
                               G
That he’s never gonna write to me

                Am              D
And I spoke my fears to my mama
                             G
She said “Honey, just let it be.”
              Am
And then she sent some pretty flowers
          D                                    G
With the hopes that my hurtin’ they would ease.

♫ Verse :
                 G                        G7
Well, you would think that I should feel happy
         G
But the truth is I feel spent
         C
And the numbers they’ve been climbing
                           G
Just not enough to pay my rent

                  Am
I didn’t used to think much of the numbers
 D               C      Bm     Am         G
But now they’re always racing through my head

                    Am
And I guess that I grew a little shallow
                D                               G
When I forsook the words that my mama once said

♫ Verse :
            G
And now my thoughts are slow and twisted

And I can’t seem to break them down
                 C
Which leaves my words false in meaning
                             G
I feel sad when I speak out loud

                   Am
I thought I was to be a better lover
 D                      G
When I got out of that town

         Am
But I’m still no good in lovin’
     D                               G
And lovin’ only leaves me losin’ anyhow

     D                                 G
And lovin’ only leaves me losin’ anyhow
