Capo 3
How can [G]one become so bounded by [D/F#]choices that somebody [Em]else makes?
How come we’ve [Am]both become a [G]version of a person we don’t even [D/F#]like? [D]
We’re in [G]love with the world but the [D/F#]world just wants to bring [Em]us down
By putting i [Am]deas in our heads that cor [G]rupt our hearts some [D/F#]how [D]
[G]When I was a child every [D/F#]single thing could blow my [Em]mind
Soaking it [Am]all up for fun but [G]now I only soak up [D/F#]wine [D]
They say to [G]play hard you work hard find [D/F#]balance in the sacri [Em]fice
Yet I don’t [Am]know anybody who’s [G]truly satis [D/F#]fied [D]
You better believe I’m [G]trying [B7]...to keep clim [Em]bing [D]
But the [Am]higher we climb feels like we’re both none the [D]wiser
So I hope I [G]learn to get [D/F#]over my [Em]self
Stop trying to [Am]be [G]somebody [D/F#]else [D]
So we can [G]love each [D/F#]other for [Em]free
Everybody wants [Am]something, [G]you just want [D/F#]me [D]
[G]Why am I obsessing ab [D/F#]out the things I can’t con [Em]trol?
Why am I [Am]seeking approval from [G]people I don’t even [D/F#]know? [D]
In these [G]crazy times I hope to find [D/F#]something I can cling on [Em]to
Cause I need [Am]some substance in my life
Something [G]real, something that feels [D/F#]true [D]
You better believe for [G]you [B7]...I’ve cried high [Em]tides [D]
Cause I [Am]want you so bad but you can’t fight fire with [D]fire
So I hope I [G]learn to get [D/F#]over my [Em]self
Stop trying to [Am]be [G]somebody [D/F#]else [D]
So we can [G]love each [D/F#]other for [Em]free
Everybody wants [Am]something, [G]you just want [D/F#]me [D]
Listen I [G]know how low I can go [D/F#]I give as good as [Em]I get
[Am]You get the brunt of it [G]all cause you’re all I’ve got [D/F#]left [D]
Oh I [G]hope in time we [D/F#]both will find peace of [Em]mind
Sometimes the [Am]road less travelled is a [G]road best left be[D/F#]hind [D]
I hope I [G]learn to get [D/F#]over my [Em]self
Stop trying to [Am]be [G]somebody [D/F#]else [D]
So we can [G]love each [D/F#]other for [Em]free
Everybody wants [Am]something, [G]you just want [D/F#]me [D]
