Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Intro: B C D Verse 1: B There are shouters, and murmurers C Loan sharks and burglars Em D Who's good or bad? Who's to say? B Some are lost, some are searchers C Em Some are givers, some are earners D But why did they all end up that way? Em D Is it nature at play, or is it nurture? C B Is the teacher to blame, or is the learner? Em I'm all at sea D F C I'm no authority on anything but me B C Em D I couldn't tell you why I am who I've become B C Em D But I can tell you the parts that make me up, and you can calculate the sum B C F C B C Em D I'll impart to you what I believe would be the recipe for me Verse 2: B Water C Em First things first, you'd need a great deal of water to make me Em Sixty liters is roughly what you need D It accounts for sixty-five percent of my being B And cells F C My body's composed of trillions and trillions of cells Em D B Performing an assortment of missions, and it's important to mention that they house my DNA B Which makes me myself
Chorus: B There's an ebb and a flow I grow, then I see changes F There are rewrites, losses, gains, and rearrangements C Em It's all much more uncertain than I thought it would be D Who knew there'd be so many ways to be me? Verse: B Stories F Audience or presenter, add scores of stories over a time C A slew of silly videos I shared online D And journals full of narratives I wrote at age nine B F And still, I continue to write because I have more dreams to fulfill C Tales I hoped to tell when I was younger D Ideas that I haven't made yet, but I will B I'll find my way with my will Chorus: B There's an ebb and a flow I grow, then I make changes F There are rewrites, losses, gains, and rearrangements C I'm so much more uncertain than I thought I would be Em D Who knew there'd be so many ways to be me? Verse: B Eggs You may laugh, and that's great F Your smiles are what make my day Em My self-worth's fragile like an egg F When it breaks it's tough to put together again B And salt F A pinch of salt in my wounds when my friends have had enough of me Em F It doesn't help that I'm lacking subtlety when I drop hints that I crave their company Em D Alone it's hard to console myself when I feel so alone C D I feel like I disappear, if I don't shout "I'm here" D C If I don't make my presence known C And if people see me here D And find my face unclear Em A Can I help them to see me better? C D I know I can't foresee the weather Em A So will they accept me now or ever? C Who knows? Cm I hope so... C But I'm good enough D Em A Whatever I face, I can rest assured that better days await C D The path to happiness isn't a race Em F I'll let my heart beat at its own pace C Sunshine F Happy and bright, it nurtures the earth with its light C Em Its beaming smile helps buds to flower D I'll take a dash of that for when friends feel sour C And rainbows F C Em A light shines through and every hue is on display Em Save a pinch of that for a rainy day D And use it when the storm clouds go away Chorus: B There's an ebb and a flow I grow, then I make changes F There are rewrites, losses, gains, and rearrangements C I'm so much more uncertain than I thought I would be Em D Who knew there'd be so many ways to be me? (Ending/Outro) F Em C B And I know putting this recipe to paper is unwise F Em C B All of the ingredients are changing all the time F Em C B I know putting this recipe to paper is unwise F Em C B All of the ingredients are changing all the time F Em Changing all the time C B They're changing all the time F Em Changing all the time C B I'm changing all the time
