[D] I'm not proud of the things I've done, but I'm proud of the person that I can become
Cause [A] somewhere between day one and now, I tried [E] to chase a popular sound
I tried to chase the [D] comfort for those around But when the show ends, we're sleeping on
hardwood beds Praying to God we find out [A] if we got the support
slot or not That can make or break [E] our sound in the end
Hoping we can move [D] into another market Rather than the one that made us
Rather than the one that changed us So we want to take a detour [A] and change behavior
And make more, find our faces on the [E] fader And pitchfork and digress even [F#m] more
What did you [D] expect from me?
[A] It's hard to be this honest with [E] my heart on my sleeve
[F#m] Where do I go?
[D] What can I be?
[A] Nothing equals nothing, this [E] did nothing for me
[D]
[A] [E]
[D] [Bm]
[A] [E]
[D] We just hoped our rebellion would look like rebellion rather than what it is
A target for millennials to [A] put their faith in
But I'm proud to say we made some [E] people look into themselves rather than the evil
And [D] I'll always thank the ones who trusted me enough to join me on this journey
Even the ones who didn't stick around I'm [A] still grateful for the ones who would
help shape the sound Now [E] I just need to thank God for this forgiveness
[F#m]
What did you [D] expect from me?
[A] It's hard to be this honest with [E] my heart on my sleeve
[F#m] Where do I go?
[D] What can I be?
[A] Nothing equals nothing, this [E] did nothing for me
[F#m] What did you [D] expect from [A] me?
It's hard to be this honest with [E] my heart on my sleeve
[F#m] Where do I go?
[D] What can I be?
[A] Nothing equals nothing, this [E] did nothing for me
[F#m] Now I can thank God for the idea of [D] forgiveness
And I can thank God that I'm still in this
Cause I [A] love the idea of a future
Cause though it never comes, it's [E] somehow always happening
And every moment that I'm not [F#m] asleep is a moment where I think
Maybe [D] I should've just finished it up and gotten that degree
Cause mom [A] I made it, I just wish I would've learned something
[E] Cause now this emptiness haunts [F#m] me
Cause [A] somewhere between day one and now, I tried [E] to chase a popular sound
I tried to chase the [D] comfort for those around But when the show ends, we're sleeping on
