=======================
#Chorus
I just want [Eb]time in a tree
I need a [Cm]place just for me
Somewhere that[G#]that I can be free
Keep the [Bb]faith and just [Ddim]be
What you'll be
#Verse 1
I guess [Eb]rules are there to break
But I make [Eb]mistakes
Like they were [Eb]handed on a plate
And I try to leave sometimes, I'm s[G#]standing in the way
I'm on the edge of crying [Bb]
all the time, 'cause I can't human[Ddim]human right
#Verse 2
What a sta[Eb]state
I get [Eb]wound up from the ground up
And I don't know [Cm]why
Turn the [Cm]sound up, drown the noise out
Swallow (whoa), don't [G#]cry
Got an anxious heart and it's
stone made, can't take paper or hear[Bb]heartbreak
Did Billy Joel have self e[Ddim]esteem?
Maybe Vienna wouldn't wait for me
#Chorus
I just want [Eb]time in a tree
I need a [Cm]place just for me
Somewhere that [G#]I can be free
Keep the [Bb]faith and just be
What you'll be
#Verse 3
[Eb]Do you ever feel like you could live a real life?
Like everybody [Cm]else in the real
world, you could be a real girl?
I could be a wizard[G#]wizard, I could be an astronaut
You could write fiction, you could tame raptors
Most [Bb]days I struggle and I get snappy [Ddim]
xxxx all that, I just wanna be happy
#Verse 4
[Eb]Swimming against the current, am I wrong?
Can you show me a warrant?
Honestly, I'm a b[Cm]bomb, abhorrent
I'm on it, I get it, I've got it,
I wanna be ten again, just me and Sonic
and n[G#]nobody telling me I should be more than I am
Back when I had a [Bb]plan, I...
#Chorus
I just want [Eb]time in a tree
I need a [Cm]place just for me (for me)
Somewhere that [G#]I can be free (can be free)
Keep the [Bb]faith and just [Ddim]be (just be)
What you'll be
#Bridge
[Eb]I seen things that I never should have [Cm]seen
Said too many things I didn't [G#]mean
Hurt myself too many times to [Bb]count
I need to let it[Ddim]it out
And just r[Eb]release been lying to myself [Cm]too long
Been trying by myself too lon[G#]long
I can't relax, I'm too distra[Bb]distracted
I can't hac[Ddim]hack it, hmm
[Eb]I'm needy, greedy
Love me, feed me
[Cm]Let's be a family
It will take a village to make a [G#]man of me
So why couldn't you [Bb]love me
It's all [Ddim]I need
#Chorus
I just want [Eb]time in a tree
I need a [Cm]place just for me
Somewhere that [G#]I can be free
Keep the [Bb]faith and just [Ddim]be
What you'll be
#Outro
