Intro:
E D E D E D C (x2)
Verse 1:
E D
I would love to be better
E D
I would love to be free
E D
I would love to be perfect
C
when you look at me
E D
But instead I`m still cryin`
E D
yes instead I`m still lyin`
E D
sad to say I`m still tryin`
C
not to be me
E B
When I see all the weakness
E B
that I turned into sickness
E D
I still think I can slide
C
just fine on the ice
E D
It`s not easy to be honest
E D
sometimes I`m just astonished
E D C
how hard it can be to be true
Chorus:
E B
Why do I lie?
E B
Is it just to get by
E B
If I give up my lines
C
will I die?
E B
If fortunes are favored
E B
then I am in labor
E B
and I`m tryin` so hard
C
to leave lyin` behind
Verse 2:
E D
I don`t want to be hazy
E D
I don`t think that I`m crazy
E D
but I`ve had some moments
C
where I am not sure
E D
and if you can forgive me
E D
for just being human
E D
then I will try harder
C
to keep my words pure
E B
I could be on the border
E B
It could be a disorder
E D
but honestly I think
C
that I can come clean
E D
and all of my stories
E D
might even be boring
E D
If I can tell you
C
what they all mean
