DmIs it just the weBbight cause the weFight is what ways me doCwn again

DmOr is that the scBbapegoat the ovFerly clumsly frCiend

Dmthere to tBbake the blaFme for what's really hapCpening

Get rid of aCll the fear

DmOf not being peBbrfect

You're the only one

Key: AMedium

AWell, I saw you with youA9 hands above your Dhead,

spinning arD9ound, trying not to look dAown,

but you A9did, and you fell, hDard D9on the ground.

AThen you stumbled aroundA9 for a good ten minutes,

And DI said I've never D9seen anyone look so dAumb before

A9And you laughed and said "DI still know how to D9turn you on

though"

EAnd you are the only one who,

Ddrags me kicking and screaming trough fast dreams.

EAnd you are the only one who,

DKnows exactly what I need

AA9DD9AA9DD9

AAnd I probably forA9got to tell you this like the Dtime when I

forD9got to tell you about the scAar,

remember A9how uncomfortable that Dmade you D9feel

See you're nAot what I expA9ected, but you're the Donly one who

D9knows how to handle Ame, and you're A9such a great kisser, and I

Dknow that you agrD9ee.

AA9DD9AA9DD9

AI hope you can forA9give me for that Dtime when I put my hD9and

between you're lAegs and said it A9was small, cause it's rDeally

notD9 at all.

AI guess there's just a A9part of me that Dlikes to bring you D9down

just to keep Ayou around A9

Cause the day you realDize how amazing you D9are, you're gonna

leave me!

EAnd you are the only one who,

Dholds my hear back when I'm drunk and get sick

EAnd you are the only one who

DKnows exactly what I need

EAnd you are the only one who,

Ddrags me, kicking and screaming trough fast dreams.

EAnd you are the only one who,

DKnows exactly what I need

A(EA9xacDtlD9y wAhaA9t ID nD9eed)

AWell, I saw you with you A9hands above your hDead,

spinning arD9ound, trying not to look dAown,

but you dA9id, and you fell, hDard D9on the ground.

You're All Telling Stories

Key: EmCapo 3Easy

You Emlook like you just lost your dearB7est friend.

Played a Emround of a sisterly game called ?B7pretend?.

TEmhe dice landed on fB7eelings not retDurned,I was a B7fool I didn?t leEmarn.

Close to the Dfire felt the buB7rn.

EmThis is a tale ?bout loyalty toB7 me.

A Emfriendship?s end, of course, amicB7ably.

EmI must apoloB7gize for my cold gDoodbye,This is my B7life, the reasonEm why,

You?re not allDowed here back insiB7de.

EmI remember when I first laid eyes B7on you.

I thought Emhere?s one that understands mB7y truth.

You Emseemed as openlB7y-closed as mysDelf,I felt intriB7gued I felt unwEmell,

I had no chDoice I had to tB7ell.

ButEm once entrusted with my biggesB7t fears

I?ve Emquestioned where I?ve had you throuB7gh the years.

You Emkept a portion oB7f my heart to Dsell, You did not B7treat it very weEmll

Although I beggDed you not to teB7ll.

EmYou?re all telling storB7ies,

EmYou?re all telling liDes,

EmHow come you?re so bluB7rry?

EmYou?re all in disgDuise.

EmB7EmD

There Emare some people you?ll know all yoB7ur life.

A coEmnstant group that leave you feeling B7safe.

But EmI have learned that sB7ome are there to chaDnge you,Leave you B7wiser,

Emrearranged

but then are better left estraB7nged.

I Emheard you met him out the otheB7r night.

And dEmrunkenly expressed with all yoB7ur might.

That Emyou still miss our B7friendship but abstDain from taking B7action,

Still theEm same, I don?t miss fraDctions, can?t complaB7in.

EmYou?re all telling storB7ies,

EmYou?re all telling liDes,

EmHow come you?re so bluB7rry?

EmYou?re all in disgDuise.

Growing Pains

Key: BHard

D#m

G#m

C#m

BNo one will tell you about the limit

D#mThey put on how long you can grieve

G#mNo one will warn you when you're winning

EHow heavy a loss love can be

BThey do not tell you about the friendships

D#mYou'll lose once the lights are dimmed down

G#mHow humble you'll feel about your past bliss

EOnce the tables are turned around

EBut I wannaF tell you I goG#mt through

EThe hardestF of times on G#mmy own

EI made someF mistakes, IG#m made a few

EBut I've learnFed that I am strong

And

FJust because it hurts

Doesn't mean it isn't Bworth it G#m

And even if it Fstings

It's just a tempBorary thiEng

I'm not saying that Fchanging

Won't cost you lovG#me, won't make Fyou cry,

But it will all maC#mke sense...

When the growing pains subside B D#m

BNothing can shield you from the silence

D#mNights spent on his side of the bed

G#mPraying for help to please stop crying

EMy life just got turned on its head

BThey fail to explain how complex love is...

D#mLike why I mostly miss him as a friend

G#mOr how big of a blow, it was for my ego

EThat she might be better for him...

EBut I wannaF tell you I goG#mt through

EThe hardestF of times on G#mmy own

EI made someF mistakes, IG#m made a few

EBut I've learnFed that I am strong

And

FJust because it hurts

Doesn't mean it isn't Bworth it G#m

And even if it Fstings

What's Another Day

Key: CEasy

C"You give this way more thought than Emit deserves"

CYou say as I tell you about my Emfear of rejection

CI wouldn't know better than Emto get scared

CCause since we've met we've had this Emgreat connection

"You know Cconcrete colored buildings Emall grow stale"

CYou say as I look up Emdreaming

I know Cbetter than to include the Emboth of us

CBut I can't sleep when your gone

And you Amsay "what's another day?"

CEm

CThis stage of oblivion I find Emcomfortable

CAnd prior to this I Emnever spoke

CYou say you understand my Emabsence now

CAnd why I never Emtell jokes

"You know Cconcrete colored buildings Emall grow stale"

CYou say as I look up Emdreaming

I know Cbetter than to include the Emboth of us

CBut I can't sleep when your gone

And you Amsay "what's another Cday?"

When we are already getting used to Dgray

What's another Cday?

If inspiration grows out from Dthis

Whats another Cday?

When silence is the next best thing to Dbliss

And we're Amall getting used to hearing you Csay

"You know Cconcrete colored buildings Emall grow stale"

CYou say as I look up Emdreaming

I know Cbetter than to include the Emboth of us

CBut I can't sleep when your gone

And you Amsay

"You know Cconcrete colored buildings Emall grow stale"

CYou say as I look up Emdreaming

I know Cbetter than to include the Emboth of us

CBut I can't sleep when your gone

And you Amsay "what's another day?"

No word from hFis defensGe

Now Dmhe's afraid of Cme

It tEmook me by surGprise

The Chatred in hisG eyes

I've pCushed this Dman as Amfar as he could Ggo

But Che lacked the Fwords to let me kGnow

He acCted out, nGow I can see it is my fDault B7

AmI made chGanges

That went unnoticed

SFang songs for deaf Gears

DmC

AmHe mistook my siGlence for punishment

FAs it had been aGll these years

You say you see the light now

At the end of this narrow hall

I wish it didn't matter

I wish I didn't give you all

But if I wanted silence, I would whisper

And if I?d like rejection, I'd audition

And if I didn't love you, you would know
