Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
C                                    G
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you

But I can't really find
C                                                G
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes

And sort them in my mind

C                                     G
The negative thoughts go on the left

And the happy things on the right
C                                               G
And there's a little corner saved just for you

Em                                    C
Please let me know if you change your mind

Cause inside I'm falling
G                                     D
And I need you to pull me out of this decline
Em                        C
I realize how hard on you this must seem

But trust me
        G                         D
When I say its far, far worse for me


Chorus:
G                             C
Please, please be here for me dear

Cause I've never needed a friend more
Em                                    C
And I can't stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
    G                                 C
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
                 Em
Cause I've never hated myself more
                   C
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying


Verse 2:
C                          G
Give me a moment to get my cards in line

Cause I'm still trying to figure out
C                                            G
In what kind of order I should set them out
C                             G
If there was a way to explain everything without a word
C                                                G
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt

Em                                    C
I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes
                                  G
But a part of me wants to let you be
                                      D
Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become
Em                                     C
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out

It's like we're in a dream state
                G                        D
But I should've woken up, woken up by now


Chorus:
G                             C
Please, please be here for me dear

Cause I've never needed a friend more
Em                                    C
And I can't stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
    G                                 C
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
                 Em
Cause I've never hated myself more
                   C                                          G
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
