Tessa plays this in open d just barring the top two strings but it translates well to standard! [Intro]: D G Bm A G D [Verse 1]
D
I have this image in my head, that I am on a train

G
Going somewhere that i don’t wanna go

           A                   G                            D
To my left is the open air, inviting me to jump out on the hill

D
But that’d be insane, it’s so much easier to be here on this train

G
Going somewhere that I don’t want to go

              A                     G                             D
And besides, what if I get off and find I like the new place even less?
[Chorus]
D                                G
Knowing “this is not enough” is enough

A               G                D
Knowing “this is not enough” is enough.
[Verse 2]
D
I don’t like the way it feels, being here with you

G
I can never tell what’s real and what is true

        A                               G                          D
And somewhere inside my body, I am saying “I don’t want this anymore”

D
And once I’ve heard it, then I’ve heard it, and you can’t stop me now

G
I will honor and protect her, I will not allow

A                       G                                   D
Myself to squander one more day accepting less than she deserves
[Chorus]
D                                G
Knowing “this is not enough” is enough

A             G                  D
Knowing “this is not enough” is enough
[Post-Chorus]
  Bm           A                   G
My friend she says “what’s strange is…

E                                 G
Nothing changes, if nothing changes.”
[Interlude]: D G Bm A G [Bridge]
G
Give yourself the grace to start again!

D
If it hurts you, put it down, if it don’t serve you look around

G                                    A
You’re doing great my babe, I swear you’re gonna make it

Bm
You never can know what could come

 A
and it’s not done until it’s done

 G                                  A
You’re doing great my babe, I swear you’re gonna make it
[Outro]
D
I can do hard things

G
Parallel parking

Bm                   A               G
Like it all it just takes practicing

D
I can walk a new path

G
I can get myself back

Bm              A
I can learn to be a better friend

G
and give myself the grace to try again
D G Bm A G D
