[Verse]
G                                               F
I never meant to make it such a mess
G                                           C
I never thought that it would go this far
G           C               Cm
So I just stand here sorry
G                    A
Searching for something to say
C
Something to say
             C  D           G  C
Words fail, words fail
C                      D        G
There's nothing I can say

[Instrumental]
G C
G C

[Verse]
G                                         C
I guess I thought I could be part of this
G                                   C
I never had this kind of thing before
G                C     Cm
I never had that perfect girl
G       A                                 C
Who somehow could see the good part of me

[Verse]
G                                    C
I never had the dad who stuck it out
G                              C
No corny jokes or baseball gloves
G                  C             Cm
No mom who just was there
G                            A                       D
'Cause mom was all that she had to be

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                          C
That's not a worthy explanation
G                      D
I know there is none
Em                         Bm                       Am           D           Am
Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done

[Chorus]
G           C  D          G
Words fail, words fail
C          F
There's nothing I can say
            G                             C
Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted
F      G                             C
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
F                             G                 Am   G
And it's right there, right there, right there
    C
In front of you
                F             C
And you want to believe it's true
               F
So you... make it true
        G    C                          F
And you think maybe everybody wants it
F
And needs it
C
a little bit
F
too

[Bridge]
Dm                    Bb
This was just a sad invention
F                      C
It wasn't real, I know
Dm
But we were happy
Am                      Bb
I guess I couldn't let that go
                            F
I guess I couldn't give that up
                                  Dm
I guess I wanted to believe
                           C
'Cause if I just believe
                                Bb             C       Dm
Then I don't have to see what's really there

                     Dm
No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than
          Bb
These broken parts
F
Pretend I'm something other than
        C
This mess that I am
                   Dm
'Cause then I don't have to look at it
       Bb
And no one gets to look at it
F                       Bb     C
No, no one can really see

[Chorus]
           Am                   F                      G
'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
C           F      G
Before I even turn the key
Am        F             G
Before I make the mistake
C           F                   Am         G
Before I lead with the worst of me
C                       F           Am        G
I never let them see the worst of me

[Outro]
C F G
         'Cause what if everyone saw?
F C G
         What if everyone knew?
C F G
         Would they like what they saw?
F C                F                 G
      Or would they hate it too?
Dm                       G                   C                 F
Will I just keep on running away from what's true?

C             Dm   F
All I ever do is run
                 Dm    F
So how do I step in
                     C Dm F C Dm F
Step into the sun?
                     C Dm F C Dm F
Step into the sun

C Dm F
C Dm F
