I never meant to make it such a mess

So I just stand here sorry

Searching for something to say

There's nothing I can say

I guess I thought I could be part of this

I never had this kind of thing before

I never had that perfect girl
  Bb            Eb
Who somehow could see the good part of me

Verse:
Eb
I never had the dad who stuck it out

No corny jokes or baseball gloves

No mom who just was there
       Bb        Eb
'Cause mom was all that she had to be

Pre-Chorus:
Cm         Ab
That's not a worthy explanation
Eb       Bb
I know there is none

Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done

Chorus:

Eb  Ab  Bb  Eb
Words fail, words fail
    Ab       Db
There's nothing I can say
    Ab               Eb
Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted
     Db              Eb
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
     Db      Eb     Fm
And it's right there, right there, right there
  Ab
In front of you
    Bbm          Db
And you want to believe it's true

   Ab    Db
So you make it true
     Fm  Ab     Db
And you think maybe everybody wants it
 N.C      Ab      Db
And needs it, a little bit too

Post-Bridge:
Bbm       Gb
This was just a sad invention
Db      Ab
It wasn't real, I know
Bbm        Fm
But we were happy
          Gb
I guess I couldn't let that go
Db
I guess I couldn't give that up
          Bbm
I guess I wanted to believe
         Ab
'Cause if I just believe
           Gb
Then I don't have to see what's really there
        Bbm
No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts
Db                   Ab
Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am
       Bbm
'Cause then I don't have to look at it
   Gb
And no one gets to look at it
Db
No, no one can really see

Bridge:
Fm     Db           Ab
'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
Fm     Db    Ab
  Before I even turn the key
Fm     Db     Bbm
  Before I make the mistake
Fm     Db      Ab    Eb
  Before I lead with the worst of me
Ab        Db    Fm Cm Bbm
I never let them see the worst of me
Ab Absus4 Ab
      'Cause what if everyone saw?
Ab Absus4 Ab
      What if everyone knew?
Ab Absus4 Ab             Db
      Would they like what they saw?
     Db  Fm    Ab
Or would they hate it too?
Bbm  Fm     Eb         Ab   Fm
Will I just keep on running away from what's true?
Fm     Db   Eb
 All I ever do is run
Bbm      Db
So how do I step in
         Ab Ebsus4 Dbsus2
Step into the sun?
         Ab Ebsus4 Dbsus2
Step into the sun

Ab Bbm Dbsus2
Ab Bbm Dbsus2
Ab Bbm Dbsus2
Ab Bbm Db
