NF – Nate (Guitar)

F#m
Yeah, sometimes I wanna disappear like I just don't exist

C#
Or find a time machine and take me back when I was six

F#m
Maybe younger, either way, I guess the point of it

Bm
Would be to tell that little kid that he's gon' take a lotta hits

F#m
Yeah, I'd probably grab your hand and tell you life is hard

C#
If you got questions or you need advice, then talk to God

F#m
'Cause He's the only one that listens even when you think He isn't

Bm
Even good people are great at makin' bad decisions, yeah (Oh)

F#m
They ain't gon' take it serious

 C#
You find out pretty quick that life is more than just appearances

 F#m
I know some things we could avoid to save embarrassment

 Bm
But everything that breaks you down can also build your character

 F#m
'Cause people love to see you fail, just be aware of it

 C#
Don't let nobody tell you who to be or write your narrative

 F#m
Look, we're all products of the things that we experience

 Bm
But there's a big difference between confidence and arrogance

F#m
I know that you don't get it now, but you gon' get it later

C#
I know you feel like you're alone and no one loves you maybe

F#m
And you gon' cover insecurities with lotsa anger

Bm
The weird thing is someday all of this will make you famous (Oh)

F#m
You start to write about your life and while they're all relatin'

C#
You'll make up a slogan, call it "Real," but feel like you're the fakest

 F#m
Wish I could tell you that your future's nothin' but amazin'

 Bm
That's just not the case, and I guess I just don't know how to say this

F#m
I don't know if you can hear me or not

            C#
But if you can, I just want you to know

                 F#m
You gon' make a lotta mistakes

               F#m
And they gon' laugh in our face

                Bm
That's part of life, that's just the way that it goes (That's just the way that it goes)

F#m
And I don't know if you can hear me or not

            C#
But if you can, I just need you to get it

                   F#m
I know you been questionin' life

             F#m
Trust me, I know what it's like

              Bm
I'm here for you if you need someone to listen

              Bm
Do you need someone to listen?

F#m
See, Mom and Dad are not together, they took different routes

C#
But you probably already knew, you gettin' older now

F#m
Remember back when Mom picked us up from Grandma's house?

Bm
And she hid her boyfriend in the trunk and drove a couple miles?

F#m
Down the street, and then she pulled over to let him out

C#
'Cause she ain't want Dad to know she had these type of dudes around

F#m
'Cause last time he found out, he had to take us from her

 Bm
You look uncomfortable, I'm sorry, let me change the subject (Hey)

F#m
You know how we've always struggled with abandonment? (Yeah)

C#
And when we feel like someone's leaving, we start panickin'? (Yeah)

F#m
And yo, I wish I could say I've learned to manage it

Bm
You think it's bad now, but you don't know the half of it

 F#m
Passion is somethin' we have never lacked

              C#
We see it the most when we're writin' raps

                          F#m
They think it's funny now, let 'em laugh

                                                  Bm
I know you think it's just an outlet when you're really mad

                        Bm
But you don't know the platform you're about to have (Oh)

F#m
I know some things about the future you ain't ready for

C#
I know some things that you gon' cover up, but can't ignore

F#m
And what hurts is they gon' surface at the worst moments

Bm
And we gon' act like it don't hurt us, but it hurts, don't it?

F#m
We walk around with the devil talkin' on both shoulders

C#
Wish I could tell you that he disappears when we get older

F#m
But that's just not the case, and I know you feel out of place

Bm
And everything is not okay, and life can be a lot to take, but…

F#m
I don't know if you can hear me or not

            C#
But if you can, I just want you to know

                 F#m
You gon' make a lotta mistakes

               F#m
And they gon' laugh in our face

                Bm
That's part of life, that's just the way that it goes (That's just the way that it goes)

F#m
And I don't know if you can hear me or not

           C#
But if you can, I just need you to get it

                  F#m
I know you been questionin' life

            F#m
Trust me, I know what it's like

              Bm
I'm here for you if you need someone to listen

              Bm
Do you need someone to listen?

F#m
You know how intoxicated people make us nervous?

C#
To the point sometimes we shake and it feels so disturbin'

F#m
Don't be scared, that's just trauma tryna reach the surface

Bm
And tell us everyone we love is gonna try to hurt us

F#m
Which isn't true, but it's a lie that both of us believe in

C#
Yeah, you might get a glimpse of happiness from your achievements

F#m
But what you'll learn as you get older, every time you reach one

Bm
Is you'll just make another goal that doesn't lead to freedom

F#m
See, some things about to happen that you can't imagine

C#
At 24, you'll drop an album, and you'll call it Mansion

F#m
At 25, you'll put out Therapy and gain some traction

Bm
Skip to track number four, now that's a really sad one

F#m
Yeah, Perception's coming next, we 'bout to reach the masses

 C#
It sounds awesome; at the same time, it doesn't matter

F#m
At 27, we'll make millions, but it's really sad 'cause

Bm
You learn to realize that none of this will make you happy

F#m
I wish that I could look at you with empathy

C#
Sometimes I feel like I've become what you were scared to be

F#m
Which makes it really hard to look at you with sympathy

       Bm
'Cause if I'm feeling bad for you, then I have to feel bad for me

F#m
And that's just something I feel like we don't deserve

C#
That's why I'm always looking down on you, I know it hurts

F#m
I'm sure you have a lot of questions

                           Bm
I've been tryna search to find us both some answers

                          Bm
I'll be here for you if things get worse
