[Verse 1]

A             F#m           G#m11            C#7
 Please don't make me hide, I've been putting up a fight

 F#m                  B7         E7
What's the use of it now? When I get pulled down anyways

A                     F#m        G#m                  C#7
 I've been hiding my expression, you can't blame the reflections

F#m                     B7         Bm         Bm            E7    E7
And the ripples on the ground, I might as well have drowned

[Chorus]

A      A/G#    A/F# A/E   D       A/C#     D   E
So I'm keeping busy, work twice as hard as you

A      A/G#    A/F# A/E   D       A/C#     D   E
Want you to believe me that I can pick and choose

A         A/G#    A/F#       A/E    D       A/C#     D   E
Said you'd let me drive your car as long as I'm with you

A         A/G#      A/F#    A/E    D       A/C#        D       E
Then you'd wait till we get far to tell me that you'll be gone soon

[Interlude] A A/G# A/F# A/E D A/C# D E [Verse 2]

A          F#m             G#m                C#7
 Feels too late right now, I've been holding back

            F#m             B7       E7
 'Causе I'm afraid that I'm too loud six feet underground

        A      F#m    G#m             C#7
 I feel alone again, Stuck between my friends

              F#m            B7           E7
 I guess I'll figure my way through them, not sure how I do it

         A    F#m      G#m          C#7           F#m     B7
 But I'm sure now, the people would listen as the water glistens

     Bm         Bm            E7          E7
 And I see my reflection, some much  clear

[Chorus]

A      A/G#    A/F# A/E   D       A/C#     D   E
So I'm keeping busy, work twice as hard as you

A      A/G#    A/F# A/E   D       A/C#     D   E
Want you to believe me that I can pick and choose

A      A/G#    A/F# A/E   D       A/C#     D   E
Said you'd let me drive your car as long as I'm with you

A      A/G#    A/F# A/E   D       A/C#     D   E                  
Then you'd wait till we get far to tell me that you'll be gone soon
