I'd noticed no one had bothered to tab any of her new album yet, so here's my addition.

Be nice, it's my first tab!

D A G Gm Cm

e 2 0 3 3 3

b 3 2 3 3 4

g 2 2 0 3 5

d 0 2 0 5 5

a x 0 2 5 3

E x x 3 3 3

If you listen to the album version, there's no recognizable strumming pattern, however this

version is meant to be played accoustically. You can just strum the chords, but I recommend you make

a quiet finger-picking pattern for the first verse and then strum starting with the chorus. Just

do what feels right to the mood of the song.

Intro

D D

Verse I

D A

Why no one will help me

G A

I'm too dumb I'm too smart

I'm too far from home

G A

It takes far too much energy

And I cannot afford to

G A

No one will ever see me

Chorus I

Chorus II

D A Gm D

These excuses how they're so familiar

Gm

They've kept me blocked

D

They've kept me small

Cm D

They've kept me safe inside my shell

Bridge

C G

Bringing this into the light

D

Shakes their foundation

A

And it clears my side

C G

Now my imagination

D

Is the only thing that limits

A C

The bar that is raised to the heights

Verse III

D A

No one can have it all see

G A

I have to they want me to

D A

And I can't let them down

G A

I'll never be happy
