Sung by Krysta Rodriguez :)

Capo 1

Intro: E minorEm   C majorC   E minorEm   C majorC

Verse:
E minorEm             C majorC
I know that I have issues, I face them, I swear
E minorEm             C majorC
Think I overcome them then turn they're still there
E minorEm             C majorC
Wish that I was different, I'd like to let go
E minorEm             C majorC
But when I try to change there's my past saying no

D MajorD             C majorC
Maybe it's all 'cause of dad, his new kids, his new wife
D MajorD             C majorC             D MajorD
Or why not just blame mom, who's been nuts my whole life

Chorus:
E minorEm             C majorC
When you've felt so alone since the moment of birth
E minorEm             C majorC
And you've struggled to find your own true sense of worth
E minorEm             C majorC
When it seems there is no one across this whole earth
E minorEm             C majorC
To depend upon you carry on
     E minorEm   D MajorD   C majorC
Just like you always do

E minorEm     C majorC     E minorEm
'Cause it's safer to rely on you
C majorC     E minorEm     D MajorD
Oh it's safer to rely on you

E minorEm   C majorC   E minorEm   C majorC

Verse:
E minorEm             C majorC
Seen a million movies all selling true love
E minorEm             C majorC
Fantasies I'm not sure that I'm worthy of
E minorEm             C majorC
Caution to the wind my heart's been on display
E minorEm             C majorC
Still the end result is it's not gone my way

D MajorD             C majorC
So when I date some new guy who's a deadbeat or jerk
D MajorD             C majorC             D MajorD
At leat I'm not so crushed when it all doesn't work

Chorus:
E minorEm             C majorC
When you once, unafraid wore your heart on your sleeve
E minorEm             C majorC
And the ones that you loved chose to just turn and leave
E minorEm             C majorC
Every day it gets harder to somehow believe
E minorEm             C majorC
You will survive so you strive
     E minorEm   D MajorD   C majorC
Just to keep up your guard

E minorEm     C majorC     E minorEm
'Cause it's safer to hold every card
C majorC     E minorEm     D MajorD     E minorEm
Oh it's safer to hold every card

Bridge:
     D MajorD D D MajorD D
I feel out of control
C majorC     G+G
I feel safe on the ground
     D MajorD D D MajorD D
I go building up walls
C majorC     G+G
Yet I wish to be found

BB             C majorC     C majorC
A augmentedA true contradiction to which I am bound
E minorEm             C majorC
As I keep on spinning around and around

Chorus (Key Change):
F minorFm             DbDb
And I look at the people who've worked it all out
F minorFm             DbDb
And I wonder why I'm still a bundle of doubt
F minorFm             DbDb
And sometimes I wanna just stand up and shout
F minorFm             DbDb
Just commit and deal with it
     F minorFm   Eb MajorEb  DbDb
Before your life flies by
     F minorFm   Eb MajorEb  DbDb
Don't let your life fly by

(no chord) Fm*(one strum) Db*
But is it safer?
     Eb*       DbDb
Maybe it's safer
(no chord) F minorFm      DbDb
If I don't ... try

End on G#G#+ (Still a bar chord in 4th fret but different fingering)
