IntroEmD
Hard days, cold nights
C
Staring down at an empty cup like
D
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up
Em
All day, all night
DC
Ten feet down nearly my whole life
D
But I'll be rising, rising up
Verse 1EmD
Yeah, I know the person in the mirror's not a perfect one
C
I look at him every day and think he's not enough
D
My life's a book that I don't really like to open up
Em
I'm twenty-six, but I feel like I live in chapter one
D
I skim through it, I've been through it, they laugh at us
You think it's funny, yeah, laugh it up
C
I always felt like no one listened to me, that's how I grew up
DEm
Church is where I found God, but it's also where I learned to judge
D
Yeah, I had to learn there's a difference between
What you want, and what you really need
C
I've always been motivated by comments from people tellin' me
D
Things they think I'll never be, and then I become it, this is my everything
Em
There's so much that goes on in my head that people will never see
D
You probably be terrified of my memories, don't lecture me
C
Let me be, let me see, let me breathe, how they remember me
D
Doesn't alter who I am as a person to take my energy, yeah

Verse 2EmD
Yeah, my fans made me who I am, but they also deceived me
C
I've been allowed to live life like I'm already grieving
D
I'm at a table of lies, but don't eat what they feed me
Em
My hoodie over my face, so nobody can see me
I'm on a plane, 'bout to fly again
D
Looking out the window, take a moment to admire it
C
Wondering how high it is, wonder where the time has went
DEm
Then I shut the window and go back to feeling like I'm out my mind again, agh!
D
Yeah, seems like we're all trying to climb a ladder
It's crazy what we'll do to climb it faster
C
It's like we throw away the things in life that really matter
DEm
Just so that we can make it to the top, and wonder what we're even climbing after
D
I know the feeling of feeling like everything you deal with will never change
C
That's part of being a human, yeah
D
Life's what you make of it, take it, embrace it, and take it, and savor it
Ain't about what you did, it's what you became from it, agh!
