I go to bed real [G] early, _ _ _
[F] _ everybody thinks [G] it's strange. _ _
[C] I get up early in [G] the morning, _ _
[C] no matter how disappointed [G] I was with the day before, it [C] feels new.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] I don't leave the house [G] much, _ _ _
[F] I don't like being around [G] people, _ _ _
[C] it makes me nervous and [G] weird. _ _ _
[F] I don't like going to shows [G] either, _ _ _
[C] it's better for me to [G] stay home. _ _
[F] Some might think it means I [G] hate people, _ _
[C] _ but that's not [G] quite right. _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] I do some stupid [G] things, _ _ _
[F] _ but my heart's in the [G] right place, and this I [C] know.

[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] I got a dog, I take him [G] for a walk, _ _
[F] and all the people like to [G] say hello. _ _
[C] I'm used to staring down at [G] the sidewalk cracks. _
[F] _ I'm learning how [G] to say hello without too [C] much trouble.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] I'm turning out just like my [G] father, _ _ _
[F] _ though I swore I [G] never would. _ _
[C] Now I can say that I [G] have love for him, _ _
[F] _ I never [G] really understood _
[C] what it must have been [G] like for him, _
[F] _ living inside [G] his head. _ _
[C] _ I feel like he's [G] here with me now, _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ even though he's [C] dead.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] It's not all good and it's not [G] all bad, _ _
[F] _ don't believe [G] everything you read. _ _
[C] _ I'm the only one who [G] knows what it's like, _
[F] _ so I thought I'd [G] better tell you before [C] I leave.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _

[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] So in the end [Em] I'd like to say that _
[F] _ I'm a very [G] thankful man. _ _
[C] I tried to make the most [G] of my situations [F] and _ enjoy [G] what I had. _ _
[C] I knew true love and [G] I knew passion, _ _
[F] _ and the difference [G] between the two. _ _
[C] And I had some regrets, [G] but if I had to do it all again, [F] _ _ _ [G] well it's something I'd like to [C] do.
