(Bb):888[10]88
(Db5) This isn't who (Gb) I am. From confi- (Bbm) dence to self doubt. In 60
(Gb) seconds. Storming (Ab) stages and stereos. (Db5) From here to there.
(Bbm) Trying to prove that I (Db5) Trying to (Cb5) win apro- (Gb) val. From
(Db5) people that I don't know.
(Bbm) I (Ab) look so (Gb) strong. When the
(Bb) weight of (Ab) all the (Gb) world don't (Ab) take it's (Db5) toll. (Bbm)
And I (Ab) choose my (Gb) side. If I be- (Bb) lieve in (Ab) what was (Gb)
right. But (Ab) I'm (Gb) all (Db5) wrong.
(Gb) I'm not larger than life, I'm not taller that (Bbm) trees. Do I mean whatI say or
it just this dis- (Gb) ease. Where I never go (Db5) home. (Bbm)Never telling the truth
life eats (Db5) away or admiting I'm fake. And I'm(Cb5) questioning if this ((Gb) whole
was worth it, to (Db5) die here all alone.
(Bbm) I (Ab) look so (Gb) strong. When the
(Bb) weight of (Ab) all the (Gb) world don't (Ab) take it's (Db5) toll. (Bbm)
And I (Ab) choose my (Gb) side. If I be- (Bb) lieve in (Ab) what was (Gb)
right. But (Ab) I'm (Gb) all (Db5) wrong.
So (Bb) don't (Ab) tell (Gb) me. This doesn't (Bb) mean (Ab) the (Gb) world
cause my (Bb) ears (Ab) would (Gb) bleed, and my (Bb) heart would (Ab) hit
the (Gb) floor.
(Bbm) I (Ab) look so (Gb) strong. When the
