Chords

G
My best friend once told me,

    A7sus4
“Be honest when you write

    Cadd9
The puns are simply punishing

    G              D
Try not to be so trite”

     G
But honesty’s not glamorous

       A7sus4
It’s embarrassing and lame

      Cadd9
It’s writing this at 2 am

         G             D
Sipping six-dollar champagne

Em                     D/F#
That I bought from the only store

    G
In town that sells past ten

Cadd9
Because I have nothing to do

          D
Once the world has gone to bed

Em                   D/F#
Damn, that sounds pathetic

    G
But honesty, right, Mike?

     Cadd9
It’s just that I have the hardest time

         D
Saying “goodnight” to the night

            Cadd9
But that’s ok

D             G
That’s who I am

              Cadd9          D      Em
I’ve fallen before and I’ll fall again

        Cadd9           D      G    D/F#   Em
Getting up is what’s important in   the    end

          Cadd9               D             G
And I get better at that with every single sin

G
Every day I tell myself

A7sus4
Today is the day

     Cadd9
I’ll exercise for real this time

       G                D
And do what my doctors say

       G
Start medicating and stop grating

   A7sus4
My fingers ‘til they bleed

     Cadd9
I’ll be attentive; I’ll be a 10, kid

    G                 D
And all that my wife needs

Em              D/F#
Be more self-forgiving

          G
Trade perfection for progress

Cadd9
Practice what my mom teaches

       D
And be half the man my father is

Em             D/F#
But how will I get there?

            G
Feels like light-years every inch

              Cadd9
There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t wish

        D
I never met you, Mr. Finch

            Cadd9
But that’s ok

D             G
That’s who I am

              Cadd9          D      Em
I’ve fallen before and I’ll fall again

        Cadd9           D      G    D/F#   Em
Getting up is what’s important in   the    end

          Cadd9               D             G
And I get better at that with every single sin

     Cadd9      G/B
The fashionista in me

     A7sus4
Says don’t mix black and blue

    Cadd9         G/B
But I beat myself up

           A7sus4
‘Til I’m a five foot nine-inch bruise

            Cadd9   G/B      A7sus4
It’s what I do        And I do it oh so well

Cadd9
You give me your love

           D
And all I give myself hell

            Cadd9
But that’s ok

D             G
That’s who I am

              Cadd9          D      Em
I’ve fallen before and I’ll fall again

        Cadd9           D      G    D/F#   Em
Getting up is what’s important in   the    end

          Cadd9               D             Em
And I get better at that with every single sin

      Cadd9            D
I’m a fuck up, I’m a fraud

       G           Em
I’m a hero, I’m a god

      Cadd9              D
I’m a star, I’m crystal clear

          G              Em
As I burn up in the atmosphere

      Cadd9          D
I’m amazing, I’m a waste

            G               Em
The Patron Saint of Saving Face

     Cadd9            D            Em
I am everything, I’m nothing, I am me

            Cadd9          D              G
And that’s fine if that is all I’ll ever be
