[Intro]
C G/B Am
Dm C G
[Verse]
C G/B
how can one become so bounded by choices
Am
that somebody else makes
Dm
how come we've both become a version
C G
of a person we don't even like?
C
we're in love with the world
G/B
but the world just wants
Am
to bring us down
Dm
by putting ideas in our heads
C G
that corrupt our hearts somehow
C
when I was a child
G/B Am
every single thing could blow my mind
Dm
soaking it all up for fun
C G
but now I only soak up wine
C
they say to play hard, you work hard
G/B Am
find balance in the sacrifice
Dm
and yet I don't know anybody
C G
who's truly satisfied
C
you better believe I'm trying
G/B Am G
to keep climbing
Dm
but the higher we climb
G
feels like we're both none the wiser
[Chorus]
C
so I hope I learn
G/B Am
to get over myself
Dm C G/B-Am-G
stop trying to be somebody else
C G/B Am
so we can love each other for free
Dm
everybody wants something
C G
you just want me
C G/B
why am I obsessing about the things
Am
I can't control
Dm C
why am I seeking approval from people
G
I don't even know
C
in these crazy times, I hope to find
G/B Am
something I can cling on to
Dm
cause I need some substance in my life
C
something real,
G
something that feels true
C
you better believe for you,
G/B Am G
I've cried high tides
Dm
cause I want you so bad
Dm
but you can't fight
G
fire with fire ooh
[Chorus]
C G/B Am
so I hope I learn myself
Dm C G
stop trying to be somebody else
C
oh, I just want to love you
G/B Am
love you for free
Dm
everybody wants something from me
C G
you just want me
C
listen, I know how low I can go
G/B Am
I give as good as i get
Dm C
you get the brunt of it all
G
cause you're all I've got left
C
oh, I hope in time
G/B Am
we both will find peace of mind
Dm
sometimes the road less traveled
C G -Am -G/B
is a road best left behind well
[Chorus]
C G/B Am
I hope I learn to get over myself
Dm C G
stop trying to be somebody else
C
oh, I just want to love you
G/B Am
love you for free, yeah
Dm
cause everybody wants something from me
C G
you just want me
C
you better believe I'm trying
G/B Am G
to keep climbing
Dm C
but the higher we climb feels like
G
we're both none the wiser
