Intro: G D Em Am G DVerse 1:
G D How can one become so bounded by choices Em That somebody else makes? C How come we both become a version G D Of a person we don't even like? G We're in love with the world D Em But the world just wants to bring us down C By puttin' ideals in our heads G D To corrupt our hearts somehow G D When I was a child every single Em Thing could blow my mind C Soaking it all up for fun G D But now I only soak up wine G They say to play hard, you work hard D Em Find balance in the sacrifice C And yet I don't know anybody G D Who's truly satisfiedPre-Chorus
G B7 You better believe I'm trying (trying, trying) Em D To keep climbing (climbing, climbing) C But the higher we climb feels like D We're both none the wiser (wiser)G D Em So I hope I learn to get over myself C G D Stop trying to be somebody else G D Em So we can love each other for free C G D Everybody wants something, you just want me G Why am I obsessing about D Em The things I can't control? C Why am I seeking approval G D From people I don't even know? G In these crazy times I hope D Em I can find something I can cling onto C 'Cause I need some substance in my life G D Something real, something that feels truePre-Chorus
G You better believe for you B7 I've cried (I've cried, I've cried) Em D High tides (high tides, high tides) C 'Cause I want you so bad D But you can't fight fire with fireG D Em I hope I learn to get over myself C G D Stop trying to be somebody else G D Em Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free C 'Cause everybody wants something from me G D You just want meBridge:
G Listen, I know how low I can go D Em I give as good as I get C G You get the brunt of it all D 'Cause you're all I've got left G Oh, I hope in time (hope in time) D Em We both will find (we'll both find) peace of mind C Sometimes the road less traveled G D Is the road best left behindFinal: G You better believe I'm trying (trying, trying) D Em To keep climbing (climbing, climbing) C But the higher we climb G D C G Feels like we're both none the wiserG D Em Oh, I hope I learn to get over myself C G D Stop trying to be somebody else G Oh, I just want to love you D Em Love you for free, yeah C G D Everybody wants something, you just want me
