Intro:Bb F Gm7Cm7 Bb F Bb F
How can one become so bounded by choices
Gm7
that somebody else makes?
Cm7 Bb
How come we both become a version of a person
F
we donʼt even like?
Bb F
Weʼre in love with the world but the world
Gm7
just wants to bring us down
Cm7 Bb
By puttinʼ ideals in our heads to corrupt our
F
hearts somehow
Bb F
When I was a child every single thing
Gm7
could blow my mind
Cm7 Bb
Soaking it all up for fun but now
F
I only soak up wine
Bb
They say to play hard, you work hard,
F Gm7
find balance in the sacrifice
Cm7
And yet I donʼt know anybody
Bb F
whoʼs truly satisfied
Pre-Chorus: Bb Adim
You better believe Iʼm trying
Gm7 F
To keep climbing
Cm7
But the higher we climb feels like
F
weʼre both none the wiser
Chorus: Bb F Gm7
So I hope I learn to get over myself
Cm7 Bb F
Stop trying to be somebody else
Bb F Gm7
So we can love each other for free
Cm7 Bb F
Everybody wants something, you just want me
Bb F Gm7
Why am I obsessing about the things I canʼt control?
Cm7
Why am I seeking approval from
Bb F
people I donʼt even know?
Bb
In these crazy times I hope I can find
F Gm7
something I can cling onto
Cm7
ʼCause I need some substance in my life,
Bb F
something real, something that feels true
Pre-Chorus: Bb Adim
You better believe for you Iʼve cried
Gm7 F
High tides
Cm7
Want you so bad, but you canʼt
F
fight fire with fire, Oh-oh, oh-oh
Chorus: Bb F Gm7
I hope I learn to get over myself
Cm7 Bb F
Stop trying to be somebody else
Bb F Gm7
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free
Cm7
ʼCause everybody wants something from me,
Bb F
you just want me
Bridge: Bb
Listen, I know how low I can go,
F Gm7
I give as good as I get
Cm7 Bb
You get the brunt of it all
F
ʼcause youʼre all Iʼve got left
Bb
Oh, I hope in time
F Gm7
we both will find peace of mind
Cm7
Sometimes the road less traveled
Bb F
is the road best left behind
Chorus: Bb F Gm7
Oh, I hope I learn to get over myself
Cm7 Bb F
Stop trying to be somebody else
Bb F Gm7
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah
Cm7 Bb F
Everybody wants something, you just want me
Outro: Bb F
You better believe Iʼm trying
Gm7
To keep climbing
Cm7 Bb
But the higher we climb feels like
F
weʼre both none the wiser
