• Difficulty: Intermediate

Eb
I never meant to make it such a mess
Eb
I never thought that it would go this far
Eb                  Ab
So I just stand here sorry
Bbsus4                     Ebsus4
Searching for something to say

Eb           N.C
Something to say
Eb    Ab    Eb      Cm
Words fail, words fail

There's nothing I can say

Ebsus4     Bbsus4      Ebsus4

Verse:
Eb
I guess I thought I could be part of this
Eb
I never had this kind of thing before
Eb              Ab
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
Eb
No corny jokes or baseball gloves
Eb                 Ab
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
Cm                Eb                 Ab
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
