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
