       G                       C
If you have a minute, come and sit a while with me
      D                               G
This song comes off as happy but it’s kinda sad you see…
    C                   G
The me in the mirror I looked at yesterday
            C                            D
Though she wanted to change, somehow she looks the same today


     G                     C                 D
Been feelin' kind of blue, anxiety too, I’ve almost given up
        G                        C
Since nobody will listen to the things I have to say
     G                       A                   G
It’s useless anyway, so I’ll bury my face in my knees


[Pre-Chorus]

       A                                      G
One by one the tears they start to fall, does no one care at all?
            C                        D
But just as I was gonna quit someone responded --
                      A                           G
“Hey, don’t you know? No one will know what your he~art ho~lds
   C                                     D
So c’mon open up, I’m here to listen you know?”


[Chorus]
           C                     D
Heading towards tomorrow was the me of today
           G                        Em
Waving her hands like crazy saying “see you someday!”
                C                         D
Behind, they’re yelling, telling me “keep doing your best”
           G
Although a pretty noisy chorus, I love them all to death


         C                      D
And so I take off running never looking behind
          G                 Em
And as my tears reflect the evening glow
             C                    D                      G
I say my bye byes, to once upon a me of now and i go...


[Verse 2]

       G                               C
If you have a minute, can you keep on sitting here with me?
    D                               G
Now that I’m feeling better I won’t cry as much you see?
     C                  G                  C
Just watch my heart, a shining star, light up the sky
         D
Hey, did I hear you right just now?


     G                     C                 D
Been feelin' kind of blue? Anxiety too? Did you almost give up
        G                        C
If nobody will listen to the things you have to say
    G
I’m here for you okay?
             C       D          G
Cause we’re friends, don’t ever forget!

[Pre-Chorus]

       A                                      G
One by one the tears they start to fall but now they’re falling down your face
C                                D
Tell me what’s been going on but know “It’s gonna be okay”
A                      G                         C
Hey, now, whatever you do, don’t worry cause I’m here by your side
        D
There’s no need to cry

[Chorus]

           C                     D
Heading towards tomorrow was the you of today
           G                        Em
Waving your hands like crazy saying “see you someday!”
                C                         D
Behind, they’re yelling, telling you “keep doing your best”
           G
Although a pretty noisy chorus, don't you love them to death


           C                         D
And as you take off running, I could see it inside
             G                    Em
A heart that shines just like the evening glow
                C                    D                        G
So say your bye byes, to once upon a you of now and then go!


[Final Verse]

          G                     C
Could you listen to me one last time before you leave?
     D                                     G
Back then the smallest thing could make me burst into tears
     C                  G
But you, and you, were all there to
C                          D
Support me so I guess it’s time I do that too


     G                     C               D
Was feelin' kind of blue, anxiety too, I’d almost given up
          G                           C                        G
But you’d pick me back up, and listen to the things I say, and come by every day
       C      D              G
Now to you, I want to do the same!


[Pre-Chorus]

       A                                   G
One by one the tears are falling down, and in the sea they make you splash
    C                                    D
And flail around but there’s no way that I would let you drown!
A                       G
Casting a lifeline with rhythm and rhyme
        C                          D
Telling you it’s alright, I hope I made it in time…


[Chorus]

          C                      D
Heading towards tomorrow with my hand here in yours
        G                     Em
Excited for tomorrow and what it has in store
         C                              D
And from behind, they hug me, like they do everyday
         G
Followed by a noisy chorus I’ll keep loving the same


             C                          D
And we can’t help but cry and give each other a smile
                 G                 Em
That shined much brighter than the evening glow
             C                   D                G
So I say bye bye, to once upon a me of now and I go
