Intro:
E D# E D# E D# C# (x2)
Verse 1:
E D#
I would love to be better
E D#
I would love to be free
E D#
I would love to be perfect
C#
when you look at me
E D#
But instead I'm still cryin'
E D#
yes instead I'm still lyin'
E D#
sad to say I'm still tryin'
C#
not to be me
E B
When I see all the weakness
E B
that I turned into sickness
E D#
I still think I can slide
C#
just fine on the ice
E D#
It's not easy to be honest
E D#
sometimes I'm just astonished
E D# C#
how hard it can be to be true
Chorus:
E B
Why do I lie?
E B
Is it just to get by
E B
If I give up my lines
C#
will I die?
E B
If fortunes are favored
E B
then I am in labor
E B
and I'm tryin' so hard
C#
to leave lyin' behind
Verse 2:
E D#
I don't want to be hazy
E D#
I don't think that I'm crazy
E D#
but I've had some moments
C#
where I am not sure
E D#
and if you can forgive me
E D#
for just being human
E D#
then I will try harder
C#
to keep my words pure
E B
I could be on the border
E B
It could be a disorder
E D#
but honestly I think
C#
that I can come clean
E D#
and all of my stories
E D#
might even be boring
E D#
If I can tell you
C#
what they all mean
