[Intro] G [Verse 1]
      G                                            Em
Blame myself cause I thought there was something wrong with me

                   Bm                  D
Thought it would be easy, just holding on

  G                               Em
Now I see, there's no one close to me

                       Bm
That's not how it's supposed to be

          D
I made em' run
[Pre-Chorus]
         C          D            Em
Watch me as I handmade my own stone wall

             C                     D
There's a reason I won't ever let you in
[Chorus]
                G
Why they never mean what they say?

                Em
Told me they'd come back here some day

          C                               D
Like my love was not enough for them to stay

            G
Never any luck when I try

              Em
Everyone's so good at goodbyes

                C                      D
And it's all I've ever known to walk away

            C         D
Yeah, I'm gonna leave you

                  Em
And learn how to stand

                C         D          G
Then I'm gonna come back, a better man
[Verse 2]
     G                              Em
I taught myself that no one could love me

              Bm
It wouldn't be easy

            D
This road I'm on

             G                         Em
And now I'm gone, my hands hanging low again

                       Bm
Yeah but I could use a friend

                    D
But I don't trust no one
[Pre-Chorus]
               C          D            Em
Yeah I better calm down, Mr. wrecking ball

             C                     D
There's a reason I won't ever let you in
[Chorus]
                G
Why they never mean what they say?

                Em
Told me they'd come back here some day

          C                               D
Like my love was not enough for them to stay

            G
Never any luck when I try

              Em
Everyone's so good at goodbyes

                C                      D
And it's all I've ever known to walk away

            C         D
Yeah, I'm gonna leave you

                  Em
And learn how to stand

                C         D          G
Then I'm gonna come back, a better man
[Bridge] C, D, G, Em 5x [Chorus]
               G
Why they never mean what they say?

                Em
Told me they'd come back here some day

          C                               D
Like my love was not enough for them to stay

            G
Never any luck when I try

              Em
Everyone's so good at goodbyes

                C                      D
And it's all I've ever known to walk away

            C         D
Yeah, I'm gonna leave you

                  Em
And learn how to stand

                C         D          G
Then I'm gonna come back, a better man
