 Am             F            C                G
Try your worst, 'cause i've heard it all

           Am            F                C                G
And just stuck on a brave face and tried to walk tall

               Am                  F                     C              G
And you can tell me that i've changed when you can look me in the eye

          Am              F              C      G
I've got tricks up my sleeveas I wave goodbye


PRECHORUS
 F                              G
I like to think that I am stronger now than I was before

 F                             G
But now I'm having trouble showing you the door


CHORUS
 Am     F    C    G
And ohhhh

 Am          F    C     G
I'm on my road

             Am                 F             C               G
I've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand

             Am         F                  C         G
And now I'm here picking my pieces off the ground


 Am                 F                      C                       G
We need to get the negativity slack and let the positivity back

   Am         F                   F       G
I need a smile that isn't fake

  Am           F                  C             G
But i'ma need your help for goodness' sake,

  Am        F     C      G
Your help


 Am               F
I'm sick of being a drifter,

            C                         G
Being a floater, go-away-and-get-the-boat-er

  Am                   F          C             G
No one wants you here, why can't you see

  Am                      F                      C                  G
I was living life through someone else's eyes but now I'm finally back to me


Am F C G

BRIDGE
      Am           F      G
The ground you stand on

     Am               F                G
The ground that looks you in the eye

     Am             F      G
The ground you stand on

      Am              F               G
The ground that you will just walk by


(chorus)
