Verse I AE Why no one will help me DE I'm too dumb I'm too smart AE They'll not understand me DE I am lonely they'll hate me

And there is not enough time
DE It's too hard to help me

And god wants me to work

D     E
No resting no lazy
Chorus I

These excuses how they served me so well

They've kept me safe

They've kept me locked in my own cell

D      E
It takes far too much energy

    A        E
And I cannot afford to
DE No one will ever see me Chorus I Chorus II

These excuses how they're so familiar

They've kept me blocked

They've kept me small

Dm   A
They've kept me safe inside my shell
[Bridge]

Bringing this into the light

   A
Shakes their foundation

And it clears my side

D    F
Now my imagination

Is the only thing that limits

The bar that is raised to the heights

I'll never be happy
