Chords with lyrics

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
  AbAb
My dad told me he hoped that he lived long enough
         DbDb
To see me happy again
 AbAb
I didn't know what to say to that
                DbDb
So all I said back was, "yeah, me too."


     AbAb
I wanna smile without hesitations
Absus2Absus2
Laugh without any reservations
DbDb
Say I'm fine and mean it

      AbAb
I wanna be happy like I know I should be
  Absus2Absus2          DbDb
I'm sorry truly my sadness makes you sad too
       F minorFm       DbDb
And since I can't happy for me
           AbAb
I wanna be happy for you

Verse 1:
    AbAb       CaugCaug  F minorFm AbAb
People tell me I look happier
  AbAb     CaugCaug  F minorFm AbAb
It feels like a lie
        AbAb    CaugCaug   F minorFm  AbAb
Maybe I'm just better at hiding it now
     AbAb   CaugCaug     F minorFm     AbAb
Or maybe this is what healing feels like

Pre-chorus:
   Eb MajorEb           Eb MajorEb
Maybe all that it is is not knowing what it is
   DbDb
Until you do it
    Eb MajorEb          Eb MajorEb
I was hurting so bad for so long
         DbDb
And then I wasn't before I knew it

Chorus:
       AbAb CaugCaug  F minorFm   AbAb
And there was no--- graduation day
  CaugCaug    F minorFm  AbAb
No clear finish line
   AbAb CaugCaug    F minorFm     AbAb
Just me working at healing my hurting
   AbAb      CaugCaug     F minorFm       AbAb
And wondering if I'll be method acting for the rest of my life

AbAb CaugCaug F minorFm AbAb x2

Verse 2:

    AbAb       CaugCaug   F minorFm  AbAb
People tell me I look happier
      AbAb     CaugCaug  F minorFm   AbAb
And now I think I do too
    AbAb      CaugCaug    F minorFm    AbAb
Either that or I'm a damn good actor
      AbAb    CaugCaug  F minorFm   AbAb
Cause even I've got myself fooled

Pre-chorus:
     Eb MajorEb                    DbDb
At some point
I stopped having to pretend to be fine
  Eb MajorEb
I don't know when it happened
                 DbDb
But someday method acting turned into real life

Chorus:
       AbAb CaugCaug  F minorFm   AbAb
And there was no---- graduation day
     AbAb       CaugCaug      F minorFm        AbAb
I don't know and I don't care where I crossed the finish line
     AbAb     CaugCaug     F minorFm      AbAb
Because healing is learning that healing from hurting
   AbAb   CaugCaug   F minorFm
Was only a matter of time
