Yeah, yeah

 Am    Dm
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
        Bb                 F
Come a long way, the hard way

     Am              Dm
And maybe I made it too hard

        Bb                    F
Been a long fight, the wrong kind

       Am                     Dm
That breaks you and leaves you unsure

      Bb                  F
Been fighting to feel like myself

     Am                 Dm
Not sure that's what I want anymore

         Bb                F
Feeling like me is probably the problem

Am       Dm
 I've had all along
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
I tell everyone I got better

F
 But what if I'm not?

      Bb
It's hard to face the truth sometimes

       Dm
(It's hard to face the truth)

       Bb
Oh and I tell everyone it gets better

F
 But what if I'm wrong?

      Bb
It's hard to tell the truth sometimes

     C
Am I always gonna just be, just be
[Chorus]
            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad

                  F                  C
Waiting for the storm clouds to clear in my head

            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad

               F               C
Wondering if this is as good as it gets

                   Bb            F
Am I always gonna just be, just be getting by

 C             Dm
Telling myself it's alright?

Bb               F
 Does it matter how hard I try?

     C
Am I always gonna just be, just be

            Bb
Background sad
[Post-Chorus]
 F
Yeah

 Am    Dm
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
       Bb          F
I got pages and pages

    Am          Dm
Of documentation I keep

 Bb             F
Looking for answers

     Am                 Dm
And patterns I've hidden in me

 Bb                 F
Don't need the world in my hands

              Am               Dm
Think I'd be happy with halfway content

           Bb             F
I should grow up and shut up

      Am            Dm
I'm probably wanting too much
[Pre-Chorus]
       Bb
Oh and I tell everyone it gets better

F
 But what if I'm wrong?

      Bb                         C
It's hard to tell the truth sometimes (Am I always gonna just be, just be)
[Chorus]
            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad

                  F                  C
Waiting for the storm clouds to clear in my head

            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad

               F               C

[Bridge]
 F                   Am     Dm
Will I always be waiting? (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Bb     F                Am     Dm
 And what is it I'm chasing? (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Bb F                     Am         Dm
 These questions could drive someone crazy

Bb                      F                Am         Dm
I don't want to spend the rest of my life asking myself
N.C. Am I always gonna just be, just be [Chorus]
            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad

                  F                  C
