Tone: [G]
#Verse
[G]I never meant to make it such a [F]mess
[G]I never thought that it would [C]go this far
[G]So I just [C]stand here [Cm]sorry
[G]Searching for [A]something to say
[C]Something to say
Words fa[C]fail, [D]words fa[G]fail [C]
[C]There's nothing [D]I can s[G]say
 
#Instrumental
[G] [C] [G] [C]
 
#Verse
[G]I guess I thought I could be [C]part of this
[G]I never had this kind of t[C]thing before
[G]I never had [C]that [Cm]perfect girl
[G]Who s[A]somehow could see the [C]good part of me
 
#Verse
[G]I never had the dad who [C]stuck it out
[G]No corny jokes or ba[C]baseball gloves
[G]No mom who[C]who just was [Cm]there
[G]'Cause mom was all[A]all that she had to [D]be
 
#Pre-Chorus
[Em]That's not a worthy [C]explanation
[G]I know there is [D]none
[Em]Nothing can make [Bm]sense
of all these [Am]things I've [D]done [Am]
 
#Chorus
[G]Words fa[C]fail, [D]words fa[G]fail
[C]There's [F]nothing I can say
Except [G]sometimes, you see [C]everything you wanted
[F]And [G]sometimes, you see [C]everything you wish you had
[F]And it's right there, [G]right there, [Am]right [G]there
In [C]front of you
And you w[F]want to bel[C]believe it's true
So you... [F]make it true
And y[G]you [C]think maybe every[F]everybody wants it
[F]And needs it
[C]a little bit
[F]too
 
#Instrumental
[Fm] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [C#] [C] [G] [Bb]
 
#Bridge
[Dm]This was just a s[Bb]sad invention
[F]It wasn't real, I [C]know
[Dm]But we were happy
[Am]I guess I couldn't [Bb]let that go
I guess I couldn't [F]give that up
I guess I wanted to bel[Dm]believe
'Cause if I just bel[C]believe
Then I don't have to [Bb]see what's [C]really [Dm]there
 
No, I'd rather [Dm]pretend I'm something better than
These [Bb]broken parts
[F]Pretend I'm something other than
This [C]mess that I am
'Cause then [Dm]I don't have to look at it
And [Bb]no one gets to look at it
[F]No, no one can [Bb]really [C]see
 
#Chorus
'Cause [Am]I've learned to s[F]slam on the brak[G]brake
[C]Before I [F]even [G]turn the key
[Am]Before I [F]make the [G]mistake
[C]Before I [F]lead with the [Am]worst of [G]me
[C]I never let them [F]see the [Am]worst of [G]me
 
#Outro
[C] [F] '[G]'Cause what if everyone saw?
[F] [C] W[G]What if everyone knew?
[C] [F] W[G]Would they like what they saw?
[F] [C]Or would [F]they hate it [G]too?
[Dm]Will I just keep on [G]running away [C]from what's [F]true?
 
[C]All I ever [Dm]do is [F]run
So how do [Dm]I step [F]in
Step into the [C]su[Dm]sun? [F] [C] [Dm] [F]
Step into the [C]su[Dm]sun [F] [C] [Dm] [F]
 
[C] [Dm] [F] [C] [Dm] [F]
