Intro:
G D Em C
Verse 1:
G
Broke my heart once and I’ll break it again
D
And when it’s broken in half I guess I’ll live in my head
Em
I left the town I grew up in and all of friends
C
It’s been less than a month and I’m already a wreck
Pre-chorus 1:
Em
Living off 6 rusty strings I haven’t changed in a year
C
I never really had a job cause I have too many fears
G
I never really kept a friend, I don’t relate to my peers
D
I hope you like me enough that you’ll stay for the year
Chorus:
G C
This is the part where you lie to me
Em C
And tell me I’m not just a statistic
G C
Cause who are they to think that they know me
Em C
But who am I to think that I’m different
Verse 2:
G
Thought that I was finally on the path to my dreams
D
But the older I get the less I know what that means
Em
I’ll sacrifice right now just for future me
C
Put my whole life on hold for something I can’t even see
Pre-chorus 2:
Em
Cause I just wanna write my songs and I just wanna understand
C
What the hell is going on and how to hell to make some friends
G
For a means of survival I’ve lived as a one man band
D
I hope you like me enough that you’ll try to understand
Chorus:
G C
This is the part where you lie to me
Em C
And tell me I’m not just a statistic
G C
Cause who are they to think that they know me
Em C
But who am I to think that I’m different
Bridge:
Em G
Cause I can count the people that I know in this town on one hand
Em G
And I can tell you from my experience nothing in my life ever goes to plan
Em G
So I could quit right here right now, disappear never been seen again
C D
I’ll never speak again, would you say that you lost a friend?
Cause I said
Chorus:
G C
This is the part where you lie to me
Em C
And tell me I’m not just a statistic
G C
Cause who are they to think that they know me
Em C
But who am I to think that I’m different
G C
This is the part where you lie to me (please lie to me)
Em C
Tell me I’m not just a statistic (I'm not a statistic)
G C
Cause who are they to think that they know me (you don't know me)
Em C
But who am I to think that I’m different
Outro:
Em G
Cause I can count the people that I know this town on one hand
Em G
And I can tell you from my experience nothing in my life ever goes to plan
