[Fm] [C#] [Fm] [C#]
[G#] I know that I have issues, I face them, I swear.
Think I overcome them, then turn, they're still there.
Wish that I was different, I'd like to let go.
[D#] But when I try to change, there's [G#] my past saying no.
[D#] Maybe it's all [C#] cause of dad, his new [Fm] kids, his new wife.
Or why not [C#] just blame mom, who's been [D#] nuts my whole life.
[Fm] When you felt so alone [C#] since the [G#] moment of birth.
And you struggled to find [D#] your own true sense of worth.
[Fm] When it seems there is no [C#] one across this whole earth
[Cm] to depend upon, you carry [G#] on.
Just [Fm] like you [D#] always [G#] do.
Cause it's safer [C#] to rely [Fm] on you.
[Cm] Oh, it's [C#] safer to [Fm] rely on [C#] you.
[Fm] [C#] [G#] Seen a million movies all selling true love.
Fantasies I'm not sure that I'm worthy [Cm] of.
Caution to [C#] the wind, my heart's been on [G#] display.
Still the end result is it's not gone my [D#] way.
So when I date some [G#] new guy who's a deadbeat or jerk,
at least I'm not [C#] so crushed when it all [D#] doesn't work.
[Fm] When you once, I'm [C#] afraid, wore your heart on your [G#] sleeve.
And the ones that you loved chose [D#] to just turn [Fm] and leave.
Every day it gets harder to [C#] somehow believe.
You [Cm] will survive, so you [Fm] strive just to [D#] keep up.
[C#] [G#] Cause it's safer [C#] to [Fm] hold every [G#] card.
Oh, [D#] it's safer [C#] to [G#] hold every card.
[D#] I feel out of [C#] control.
I feel safe on the [D#] ground.
I go building up [C#] walls, yet I wish to be [C] found.
A true [C#] contradiction to which I am.
[Fm] As I keep on [C#] spinning around and [F#m] around,
and I look at the [D] people who've worked it all [A] out.
And [E] I'm still a bundle of [F#m] doubt.
And [D] sometimes I want to just stand up and [C#m] shout.
Just [A] commit and deal with it.
[F#m] Before your [E] life, [D] I [F#m] don't let your [E] life.
[D]
[A] But is it safer?
[D] [F#m]
[Em] [G] If I [F#m] don't try?
