Intro:

Em Bm Am
Em Bm Am

Verse 1:
        Em         Bm      Am
I’m tired of being misunderstood
              Em                    Bm        Am
Judged by my face more than what’s under the hood
              Em                 Bm
They say I’m cold, they say I’m fake

               Am
But they don’t see the heart they break
    C                Bm
I speak with care, I love with grace
     Am
But still, I get replaced
             C                Bm
You heard a whisper, made it truth
           Am       D       Em Bm Am A5
And never asked me for the proof

Chorus:
                C               G
So I’ll be the villain in your story
                D                Em
If that’s the role you need from me
                C            G
I won’t keep begging you to know me
          D
When you only choose to see
    C                       G
A version of me that isn’t real
                Bm                  C
I’ll take the space your hate gives me
     Am      Bm     D       Em Bm Am
and finally find a place to heal

Verse 2:
     Em           Bm       Am
I overthink the smallest glance
           Em       Bm        Am
Replay my words, my tone, my stance
          Em              Bm
I try to help, I try too much
        Am          Bm       C    D
Still somehow, I’m “out of touch”

Chorus:
                C               G
So I’ll be the villain in your story
                D                Em
If that’s the role you need from me
                C            G
I won’t keep begging you to know me
          D
When you only choose to see
    C                       G
A version of me that isn’t real
                Bm                  C
I’ll take the space your hate gives me
     Am      Bm     D       Em Bm Am
and finally find a place to heal

Verse 3:
            Em            Bm
I’m done explaining who I am
               Am
To hearts too hard to understand
           Em                  Bm
If my soft hands look sharp to you
                 C              D
There’s nothing left for me to prove
        Em                Bm
So go ahead, rewrite the past
           C
Erase the good, hold on to bad
            Em             Bm
I know the love I tried to give
                C                D
And that’s the part I choose to live

I won’t keep begging you to know me
          D

    C                       G

and finally find a place to heal
