Intro:

Cadd9   G
Cadd9   G

Verse 1:
                         Cadd9
I dream of taking to the skies
                         G
And trying on a different life
                         Cadd9
I tell myself I'll go the distance if I'm asked
                         G
But I can only run with an escape hatch

Pre-chorus:
    Cadd9                          D
I'm watching people pass me as the voice is creeping in
       Cadd9                           D
Saying "you would never make it in the end"
    Cadd9
Who knows what's even out there
     D
Stay safe here on the ground
    Cadd9                         D
But deep down in my soul I really know

Chorus:
         Cadd9
That the fear of the unknown
                                  G
It's making me fall short of what I could be
             Cadd9
And it's the places I don't go
                                 G
Where everyone I know is waiting there for me
    Bm7              C                        G
Someday I'll finally see, I'm my own worst enemy

Verse 3:
                        Cadd9
I decorate these prison walls
                          G
Pretend I'm happy with it all
               Cadd9
Familiarity is comfortable, they say
                                     G
At least until your world it turns to grey

Pre-chorus:
    Cadd9                          D
I'm watching people pass me as the voice is creeping in
    Cadd9                         D
But deep down in my soul I really know

Chorus:

         Cadd9
That the fear of the unknown
                                  G
It's making me fall short of what I could be
             Cadd9
And it's the places I don't go
                                 G
Where everyone I know is waiting there for me
    Bm7.             C                        G
Someday I'll finally see, I'm my own worst enemy

Bridge:
                 Cadd9
And I don't know why
                             G
I run away from what I can't deny
             Cadd9
I don't know why
                              G
I stay in all the places I can hide
   Cadd9                           D
My inner child is screaming louder each and every day
  Em         D       C
I can't keep pushing down
      C
These monsters that I'm running from
                                D
I kinda hope they take me to the ground

Chorus:
         Cadd9
That the fear of the unknown
                                  G
It's making me fall short of what I could be
             Cadd9
And it's the places I don't go
                                 G
Where everyone I know is waiting there for me
    Bm7              C                        G
Someday I'll finally see, I'm my own worst enemy
    Bm7              C                        G
Someday I'll finally see, I'm my own worst enemy
