Em                 G              D     A
It's been so long since I've been by myself
      Em                  G             D     A
And I need this more than you will ever know
Em                  G                 D     A
People like you and me never feel the breeze
Em                  G              D            A
People like you and me will never know the easy way


[Chorus]
  D                             A
I scream into the wind and then laugh
                     Bm
As the words slap me in the face
        G              D                      A
I would gladly trade a lifetime of convenience
       Bm            G
For an honest day or two

     D                             A
It's just not the same when you're staring
       Bm             G
Into a perfect golden sunset
    D                      A
And thinking about how you sold your soul
   Bm             G
To send the rain away

[Verse 2]
     Em                 G                D         A
It's been so long since I've stood on my two feet
    Em            G               D     A
I'd really rather lay here and pretend
    Em                  G                 D     A
But people like you and me never get that peace
   Em                      G             D 
It comes from denying that everything is so screwed up
     A
It's so screwed up


[Chorus]
  D                       A                       Bm
I stand on a building and throw up my arms to the sky
  G                      D
I swallow my pride and admit
          D                       Bm                G
That it's not always best to understand the reasons why

     D                          A
It's just not the same when you wake up in the morning
       Bm            G
With a smile on your face
         D                 A                Bm
When you know you lied yourself to sleep to make it better
G
Make it better
