Tone: [D]
Capo 4th fret
Intro:
[D] [Dmaj7] [D7] [Em] [A]
Verse 1:
[D] [Dmaj7]Used to be held captive [D7]by my fears
Shackles on my wrists like [Em]souvenirs
Lost myself in any thing
[A]Couldn't see the ending through my tears
[D] [Dmaj7]Used to hold my tongue and [D7]play along
Only knew that I had to b[Em]be strong
Lost my own identity
[A]Didn't know what in my world was wrong
Chorus:
[D]Sugar-coated [Dmaj7]all my pain
[D7]Couldn't help it, I was just a [Em]kid then, begging for a [A]break
Now I'm [D]twenty, pushing [Dmaj7]twenty-one, [D7]hoping that I'll be someone
[Em]Running from the person I [A]created when I had no one
[D]Twenty pushing [Dmaj7]anxiously, [D7]hoping that I'll be happy
[Em]Writing to the person I wanna b[A]be
In a letter to [D]me [Dmaj7] [D7]
In a letter to [Em]me [A]
Verse 2:
[D] So I'm [Dmaj7]done letting myself [D7]bleed
In a spiral of my own self-[Em]self-pity
I'm done searchin' for remedies and [A]people who don't care about me
[D] Yeah, there's a [Dmaj7]lot of things I don't know[D7]know -Don't know, don't know-
But I know that I'm on my [Em]way to finally bein' o[A]okay, alone
Chorus:
No more [D]sugar-coatin' [Dmaj7]all my pain -Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-
[D7]Couldn't help it, I was just a [Em]
kid, begging for a [A]break -Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-
Now I'm [D]twenty, pushing [Dmaj7]twenty-one, [D7]
hoping that I'll be someone -Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-
[Em]Running from the person I [A]created when I had no one -Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-
[D]Twenty pushing [Dmaj7]anxiously, [D7]hoping that I'll be happy -Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-
[Em]Writing to the person I wanna b[A]be -Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-
In a letter to [D]me -Ah, [Dmaj7]ah, [D7]ah, ah-
In a letter to [Em]me -Ah, ah, ah, [A]ah-
Outro:
[D] [Dmaj7] [D7] [Em] [A] -nc-
In a letter to me
