[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 D/F# Em7 Em/D Woke up in a room full of maybe Cmaj7 Am7 Dsus4 D Alarm clock screaming “don’t be late” Gmaj7 D/F# Em7 Em/D Everybody telling me I’m special Cmaj7 Am7 Dsus4 D But nothing changes when I pray
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7 Cmaj7 G/D I don’t need a throne or crown Bm7 Cmaj7 Am7 I just don’t wanna fade out now Bm7 Cmaj7 G/D If this is all I’ll ever be Bm7 Cmaj7 Am7 Then God, why does it hurt in me?
[Chorus]
Em7 G/D Average kills me on the inside Cmaj7 G/B Am7 D(add9) Smiles stitched just to survive Em7 G/D Dsus4 D I’m choking on a quiet life Cmaj7 Am7 Dsus4 D Where dreams go just to die Em7 G/D Dsus4 D I don’t wanna be “he turned out fine” Cmaj7 G/B Am7 D(add9) I don’t wanna just pass the time Em7 G/D Dsus4 D If this is living, I’m terrified Cmaj7 Am7 Dsus4 D ’Cause average kills me on the in - side
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7 D/F# Em7 They clap when you don’t rock the boat Cmaj7 Am7 Dsus4 D Tell you “son, just play it safe” Gmaj7 D/F# Em7 Bm7 But safety feels like sinking slow Cmaj7 Am7 Dsus4 D While everyone calls it grace
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7 Cmaj7 G/D I don’t wanna wake up old Bm7 Cmaj7 Am7 Wondering why I never broke the mold Bm7 Cmaj7 G/D If comfort costs me everything Bm7 Cmaj7 Am7 Then it’s not worth the price it brings
[Chorus]
Em7 G/D Average kills me on the inside Cmaj7 G/B Am7 D(add9) Smiles stitched just to survive Em7 G/D Dsus4 D I’m choking on a quiet life Cmaj7 Am7 Dsus4 D Where dreams go just to die Em7 G/D Dsus4 D I don’t wanna be “he turned out fine” Cmaj7 G/B Am7 D(add9) I don’t wanna just pass the time Em7 G/D Dsus4 D If this is living, I’m terrified Cmaj7 Am7 Dsus4 D ’Cause average kills me on the in - side
[Bridge]
Am9 Em7 G/D Dsus2 Maybe I’m hard to satisfy Am9 Em7 Bm7 Maybe I’m scared I’m wasting time Am9 Em7 Cmaj7 Dsus4 But I’d rather fail chasing something real Am9 Em7 Dsus4 Than succeed at nothing I feel
[Chorus]
Em7 G/D Average kills me on the inside Cmaj7 G/B Am7 D(add9) Smiles stitched just to survive Em7 G/D Dsus4 D I’m choking on a quiet life Cmaj7 Am7 Dsus4 D Where dreams go just to die Em7 G/D Dsus4 D I don’t wanna be “he turned out fine” Cmaj7 G/B Am7 D(add9) I don’t wanna just pass the time Em7 G/D Dsus4 D If this is living, I’m terrified Cmaj7 Am7 Dsus4 D ’Cause average kills me on the in - side
