[Intro] Cadd9 G Cadd9 G [Verse]
Cadd9                                       G
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you 
But I can't really find
Cadd9                                           G
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes 
And sort them in my mind
Cadd9                                   G
The negative thoughts go on the left 
And the happy things on the right
Cadd9                                            G
And there's a little corner saved just for you 

Em                                    Cadd9
Please let me know if you change your mind 
Cause inside I'm falling
G                                     D
And I need you to pull me out of this decline 

Em                    Cadd9
I realise how hard on you this must seem 
But trust me
       G                          D
When I say its far, far worse for me 
[Chorus]
G                              Cadd9 
Please, please be here for me dear 
Cause I've never needed a friend more
    Em                               Cadd9 
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying 

G                                     Cadd9 
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to 

                 Em 
Cause I've never hated myself more 

                   Cadd9 
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying 
[Piano) G Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse II]
Cadd9                                  G
Give me a moment to get my cards in line 
Cause I'm still trying to figure out
Cadd9                                       G
In what kind of order I should set them out 

Cadd9                         G
If there was a way to explain everything without a word 

Cadd9                                           G
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt 

Em                                        Cadd9 
I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes 

                                    G
But a part of me wants to let you be                

                                      D
Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become 

Em                                        Cadd9 
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out 
It's like we're in a dream state
          G                                  D
But I should've woken up, woken up by now 
[Chorus]
G                              Cadd9 
Please, please be here for me dear 
Cause I've never needed a friend more
    Em                               Cadd9 
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying 

G                                     Cadd9 
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to 

                 Em 
Cause I've never hated myself more 

                   Cadd9 
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying 
[Outro] G Cadd9
