[Verse 1]
Gm9
There's something rotten inside me
N.C.
You told me to be better, ain't honestly likely
Dm9
You told me to be more, truth is I cannot be
N.C.
You told me to be smart, kept promising I'm free
Em9
You told me to be strong and belong, alarmed me
N.C.
That otherwise my life won't be long and lively
Cm9
Do something when I'm gone they don't despise me
N.C.
You told me don't be wrong
N.C.
Forgotten that I'm me?
Gm9
Become something that I'm not
N.C.
Crushed between the four walls, ceiling and the floor boards
Dm9
I can't walk nor see forwards, when I talk my speech Mordor
Em9
Scrambled thoughts that need order
N.C.
Not in reach, they're lost in deep waters
Cm9
Drawing on sleep exhausts my zeal harder
N.C.
Caught in grief I've honestly authored
[Bridge]
Gmaj7
I don't wanna swim no more, I wanna fly
D7*
Looking up at those that do, but I don't identify
Bm7
I feel lonely when I try, my dreams always seem to die
Am7 D7
I keep falling, I'm so sorry, I'm appalling in your eyes
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
Show me how to be, I'll show you how to not
F# (F#7)
I will climb the tallest tree and tie the tightest knot
Bm7
Yeah, I'm flawed as hell, I could never love myself
Am7 D7
As long as I carry this guilt, I will never feel fulfilled
Gmaj7
Show me how to be, I'll show you how to not
F# (F#7)
I will climb the tallest tree and tie the tightest knot
Bm7
Yeah, I'm flawed as hell, I could never love myself
Am7 D7
As long as I carry this guilt, I will never feel fulfilled
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7
Beep, beep, beep, beep-beep, beep
N.C.
Beat, I reach for the screen, I need sleep
F#
This sequence is bleak, it reeks, then repeats
Bm7
Week after week, increasing my fatigue, I feel weak
N.C.
Tough to conceive I still bleed
N.C.
When I seem to be proceeding on reflex, deceit
Am7
That I could feel relief, that I could seek dreams
D7
Which, seemingly all my experiences deplete
Gmaj7
See at the beginning they said that I would be winning
N.C.
What a beautiful thought, but one I no longer believe in
F#
Belief feels belittling now, I've been beaten
N.C.
Bested beast, depressed and defeated
Bm7
So rest in peace to me that felt different
Am7
Guess I failed at living, guess I fell and I guess I'm frail
D7
So my failure isn't your fault, just the weather shifted
N.C.
And my feathers withered, uh
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
Show me how to be, I'll show you how to not
F# (F#7)
I will climb the tallest tree and tie the tightest knot
Bm7
Yeah, I'm flawed as hell, I could never love myself
Am7 D7
As long as I carry this guilt, I will never feel fulfilled
Gmaj7
Show me how to be, I'll show you how to not
F# (F#7)
I will climb the tallest tree and tie the tightest knot
Bm7
Yeah, I'm flawed as hell, I could never love myself
Am7 D7
As long as I carry this guilt, I will never feel fulfilled
N.C.
R-A-V
[Verse 3 + Outro]
Gmaj7
One lonely night, coming home from work to heavy rain
F#
Thirty feet from the train cross I cross every day
N.C.
Bar halfway down, I don't hesitate
Em9
Close both my eyes and for heaven's sake hit me today
A7
I just want it all to be erased, disappear with the fear and despair
D
Dissipate, all I've ever done is been afraid
D7
All I've ever done been is been this way
Gmaj7
You claim I ain't broken and you liken my wounds
To things that you deal with, with ease, I should too
F#
You make me hate me more than I should hate you
N.C.
It's always you, you, you
Em9 A7 D
But mama, I'm me
Gmaj7 F#
I just wanna be
F#7
And I hope you're okay with that
Em9 Em9 D Dmaj7
