BB

🎸 Verse 1:
BB     BB        BB
 There's dirt in my nails
   D#mD#m        D#mD#m
From scraping the walls
   E MajorE       E/B
And I thought I hit bottom
  D#mD#m          F#7F#7
So why am I still falling?
 BB       BB
I know who I am
 D#mD#m      D#mD#m
I didn't forget
   E/B       E MajorE
But I just need relief
   D#mD#m      D#m7D#m7 F#F#
And I won't give up yet

🎸 Chorus: 0:33
F#7F#7       BB       E MajorE
But God, this is all feeling so hard
     G# minorG#m       F#F#
Why am I lost out in the dark?
       BB            E MajorE
And why am I struggling just to keep standing?

I never let myself fail
      E MajorE
But then my body screams help
    D#mD#m        F#F#
And my mind wants to bail
    BB
I just wanna be real
   D#mD#m
Stop pretending I'm good
  E MajorE
And feel what I feel
  D#mD#m          F#F#
Not what I think I should

Facing the worst pain that I've known?

And maybe it's true that I'm getting strongеr
        G# minorG#m        F#F#      BB   E MajorE
