Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

5th Capo

Verse:
G+G
I wish I was a couple years older
D MajorD
Couple years wiser
             A minorAm
Just so I could know your  heart

        C majorC
But I know that it would still confuse me anyway

G+G
I felt just a few degrees colder
D MajorD
Ever since the day you left
       A minorAm
Spare my soul
            C majorC
Now I can still feel the  pieces of my youth just stripped away

G+G
What is life but a merry go round
D MajorD
Just circling doubts living up in my head
A minorAm               C majorC
I know that they want me dead

G+G
Keep me up when I try to stay down
D MajorD
I try to forget all the things that they said
A minorAm            C majorC
But they won’t let me go

G+G
I try to fall asleep
D MajorD
But they won’t let me dream
A minorAm        C majorC
I just hope some day we’ll come to terms

G+G
I’m falling underneath
D MajorD
And I try so hard to breathe
A minorAm       C majorC
As this rollercoaster kills me

G+G
So this goes out to the mind games in my head
D MajorD
You raise hell every night inside of my bed
A minorAm
I don’t know where you came from
  C majorC
But I won’t play your carnival no more

Interlude:
G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

Verse:
G+G
I wish I was just a little stronger
D MajorD
So they couldn’t beat me up
     A minorAm
But they did
           C majorC
I can still feel the mulch that they kicked at me pierce my hope

G+G
So I dusted off my shoulders and then
D MajorD                  A minorAm
Told myself that I could prove it to them
        C majorC
Just trying to justify the first taste of feeling low

G+G
I try to fall asleep
D MajorD
But they won’t let me dream
A minorAm        C majorC
I just hope some day we’ll come to terms

G+G
I’m falling underneath
D MajorD
And I try so hard to breathe
A minorAm      C majorC
As this rollercoaster kills me

G+G
So this goes out to the mind games in my head
D MajorD
You raise hell every night inside of my bed
A minorAm
I don’t know where you came from
  C majorC
But I won’t play your carnival no more
