'Bout how I came up, then fell down

Speak to someone you can spend the time with

The therapist knows who I really am

There's nothing in the world they're expecting of me

I'm simply here to speak
                    Db
And nothing can surprise me now
  Eb            Ebdim      Ab
I turn up and I let it all out
        Gdim          Fm              Eb         Bb/D   Eb
There's no one in the world that they need me to be
                      Ab
So I'll be myself and we'll see (Ah)
