♫ Verse :
                    G
I don’t owe you my heart
                        Am
And I don’t owe you my body
                              D7
But you should know that I’m sorry
                         G  D7
For being careless with you

                       G
Lord knows I owed you more
                             Am
That I’m pretty sure I ever could give anybody
                                  D7
But I can’t pin down what normal people want from foreign objects
G     G7
Bottom shelf erotic products, like me


♫ Pre-Chorus:
   Am                                  D7
So I could hold your hand but keep you at arms’ length, oh
Bm                                 Em
Hang me from a branch too high to climb and shake
      Am
Less rare than scarce, less diamond than rough
   D7
Unlikely to be more than the coal you failed to crush


♫ Chorus:
    G                         C
And I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i swear
             G
I’m really trying
          Am
Get it together
Will, know and do better
                    D7
It just don’t come natural to me to think that you’d want me for me

G           G7          C
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i swear
             G
I’m really trying
         Am
Oh
I’m sorry
I promise
I’m doing my best
        D7
I just haven’t learned how to be human as you are yet

G Am C D7 C#7 D7




♫ Verse :
                           G
I still don’t know who you are
                           Am
I only know that I’m still lonely
                             D7
That morbid sort where even company can’t cure me
                                       G
And the more you reassure the less I trust

                            G
But still you gave me your heart
                    Am
I only gave you my body
                           D7
Honestly thought nobody’d want it
                                                      G              G7
Let alone notice it’s gone and so I left it home but now, now, now, now


♫ Pre-Chorus:
          Am                           D7
I keep a locket with a picture on the back of my head
     Bm                                  Em
Oh, monkey wrench my side view mirrors, ghost my friends
                 Am
I’ve lived more lives than enough
I haven’t died quite as much
         D7
But I’m not a real person just the shit you can’t make up, and


♫ Chorus:
G                       C
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i swear
             G
I’m really trying
               Am
I’m just as exposed if I take off my clothes
                      D7
When we make the closest thing to love that I’m capable of and

G              G7                       C
I-i-i-i-i-i-i don’t know why you would care
                 G
But I’m really trying
         Am
Oh
I’m sorry
I promise I’m doing my best
        D7
I just haven’t learned how to be human as you are yet


♫ Bridge:
G  Am  C  D7  G  Am  C  D7  D7  D7sus4

D7    D7sus4
Did I really

 Am                             D7
Have any of that gravity? Maybe you’re quicksand
           Bm                               Em
Because I really couldn’t tell how deep my footprints went
        Am
The vertex of my redemption arc, the searching of that virgin heart
     D7
I’m catatonic in your arms, cryin’ “How did I cause so much harm ”

     Am
I’m down pounding my head
         D7
Against the kitchen floor
     Bm                          Em
Apologizing for my life and ever entering yours
               Am
Don’t say “I’m sorry, but this can’t go on”
I know you’ve got scars of your own
     D7
But hide my knives before you go
I’ll either live or die alone


♫ Chorus:
G                       C
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i swear
                  G
That I will die trying
                   Am
I’m still in the process but I’m making progress
             D7
I promise I honestly wanna prove improve is possible

G           G7          C
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i swear
                G
I’m so fucking sorry
                Am
I’m not a good person
I’m barely a person at all
         D7                                         G
But someday I’ll be perfect and I’ll make up for it all


(And write a fucking song about it ‘cause it has to be all about Will’s fucking drama,
god damn it! Sorry. Fuck
I’m sorry.)
