Chords

[Verse 1]
C
Same black hole from yesterday

  C
I fell into again today

   G
If thirty’s just a number

      G
Then I hope this last one brings me closure

   C
An open book, you try to read me

  C
A paper photo burned to memory

   G
In tattered pieces all around

   G
An S.O.S. that’ll never reach you

C
Upside down and tired of hanging

C
Wrapped around your finger

          G
Here’s to wishing you all the hope and joy

    D
And happiness this life affords you
[Chorus]
    C           G   Em  D
I’m learning to fly

    C              G        Em     D
I’m learning to look in the mirror

    C        G   Em   D
One day at a time

            C          G
When you’re all that I want

           Em         D          C
But you’re not what I need right now
[Verse 2]
C
Can you take the working parts

    C
And reassemble broken hearts

    G
You said you hate me, I forgive you

    G
For every time you told me grow up

C
Spark an awkward conversation

    C
You talk to me like I know nothing

  G
Anxiety is from the inside

    G
But I’m just locked up on the outside

G                      Am
I wish for you all the hope and joy

    C
And happiness this life affords you
[Chorus]
    C           G   Em  D
I’m learning to fly

    C              G        Em     D
I’m learning to look in the mirror

    C        G   Em   D
One day at a time

            C          G
When you’re all that I want

           Em         D          C
But you’re not what I need right now
[Interlude] G Em7 D C G Em7 D [Bridge]
    G               Em   D
I’m alone in the dark

  C             G           Em     D
I know I’m just caught in a feeling

C         G     Em    D
Coming up empty

    C           G           Em    D
And learning to pick up the pieces
[Chorus]
    C           G   Em  D
I’m learning to fly

    C              G        Em     D
I’m learning to look in the mirror

    C        G   Em   D
One day at a time

            C          G
When you’re all that I want

           Em         D          C
But you’re not what I need right now
G [Outro]
       Em7        D          C    G
You’re not what I need right now
Em7 D
