[Verse 1]
How can o[G]ne become so bounded by ch[D]oices that somebody e[Em]lse makes?
How come we b[C]oth become a version of a p[G]erson we don't even l[D]ike?
We're in l[G]ove with the world but the w[D]orld just wants to bring us[Em] down
By puttin' id[C]eals in our heads to co[G]rrupt our hearts some[D]how
W[G]hen I was a child every si[D]ngle thing could blow my[Em] mind
Soaking it [C]all up for fun but n[G]now I only soak up w[D]wine
They say to p[G]lay hard, you work hard, find b[D]alance in the sac[Em]rifice
And yet I don't k[C]now anybody who's t[G]ruly satisf[D]ied
[Refrain]
You better believe I'm t[G]trying (Tryin[Cdim](Trying, trying)
To keep c[Em]climbing (Climbing, clim[D]climbing)
But the hi[C]higher we climb feels like we're both none the w[D]wiser
[Chorus 1]
So I hope I le[G]arn to get o[D]ver mys[Em]elf
Stop trying to [C]be s[G]somebody e[D]else
So we can lo[G]ve each o[D]ther for f[Em]ree
Everybody wants so[C]something, y[G]you just want [D]me
[Verse 2]
Why am I obs[G]essing about the th[D]ings I can't con[Em]trol?
Why am I se[C]eking approval from p[G]eople I don't even k[D]now?
In these cr[G]azy times I hope I can f[D]ind something I can cling o[Em]nto
'Cause I need some su[C]bstance in my life, something r[G]eal, something that feels t[D]rue
[Pre-Chorus]
You better believe for y[G]you I've crie[Cdim]cried (I've cried, I've cried)
High t[Em]tides[D]ides (High tides, high tides)
W[C]Want you so bad, but you can't fight fire with f[D]fire, Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Chorus 2]
I hope I le[G]arn to get o[D]ver mys[Em]elf
Stop trying to [C]be s[G]somebody e[D]else
Oh, I just want to lo[G]ve you, l[D]ove you for f[Em]ree
'Cause everybody wants some[C]something from me, y[G]you just want [D]me
[Bridge]
Listen, I k[G]know how low I can go, [D]I give as good as [Em]I get
Y[C]ou get the brunt of it a[G]ll 'cause you're all I've got l[D]eft
Oh, I h[G]ope in time (Hope in time) we b[D]oth will find (We'll both find) peace of m[Em]ind
Sometimes the r[C]road less travelled is the [G]road best left b[D]behind
[Chorus 2]
Oh, I hope I le[G]arn to get o[D]ver mys[Em]elf
Stop trying to [C]be s[G]somebody e[D]else
Oh, I just want to lo[G]ve you, l[D]ove you for f[Em]ree, yeah
Everybody wants so[C]something, y[G]you just want [D]me
[Refrain]
You better believe I'm t[G]trying (Trying, trying)
[D] To keep cl[Em]climbing (Climbing, climbing)
But the hi[C]gher we climb feels l[G]ike we're both none the w[D]iser [C] [G]
