Refrain:
     D
It's hard to rely on my good intentions,
        D                                  D
When my head's full of things that I can't mention,
   G
It seems that I usually get things right,
      G                                      D  D
But I can't understand what I did last night.

Verse 1:
         D                                  D
And it's hard to rely on my own good senses,
       D                                   D
When I miss so much that requires attention,
  G
I have to laugh at myself sometimes,
    G                             A  A
And I can see that I'm not blind.


Chorus:
                 D  Em G
There's little relief,
A         D   Em  G
Give us reprieve, oh,
A     G       D/F#        Em     A
  For all the things I've left behind,
    G   D/F#      Asus4           D  D  D  D
I'm positive that I'm not blind.


Verse 2:
    D                           D
I'm not afraid things won't get better,
       D                                  D
But it feels like this has gone on forever,
    G
You have to cry with your own blue tears,
G                                      D  D
Have to laugh with your own good cheer.


Refrain:
     D
It's hard to rely on my good intentions,
        D                                  D
When my head's full of things that I can't mention,
   G
It seems that I usually get things right,
      G                                       A  A
But I can't understand what I did last night.


Chorus:
                 D  Em G
There's little relief,
A         D   Em  G
Give us reprieve, oh,
A  G   D/F#     Em       A
  Imagining the world outside,
    G   D/F#      Asus4           G
I'm positive that I'm not blind.


Bridge:
  G                A
I can't be hard on you,
           A                     G
'Cause you know I've been there, too,
          A                  D/F#  Em
Learned a lot of things from you.


Chorus:
    A                   D  Em G
Oh, life gives little release,
A         D   Em  G
Give us reprieve, oh,
A    G    D/F#   Em      A
When everyone is cold as ice,
  G         D/F#      Asus4    G
I clench my fists and close my eyes,
A  G   D/F#     Em       A
  Imagining the world outside,
    G     D/F#     Asus4
And I can see that I'm not blind.
