[Intro]
A – C# - A – B x2
[Verse 1]
A C# Tossed around like sea glass and You rounded out my edges. A B I'll feel better when the headaches go away. A C# I got a scar across my forehead, turning purple in the cold A From a night at Shore Memorial. B I was 16 and afraid. A B Turned away, like I'm working baby face E9 C# A Out of Mid-South in the 80's. B I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape.
[Chorus]
E A I think I'm growing into someone You could trust. E9 C# I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks, B B A I want to run until my lungs give up. E9 If I could manage not to fuck this up. F#maj7 E7m B If I could manage not to fuck this up. E7m F#maj7 A I think enough is enough.
[Verse 2]
A C# Hidden in the tall grass in the naked light of day, A I put my past-self in the ground. B I've been dancing on the grave. A I'm not the person that I was then, C# I'm tearing him away. A I was bitter. I was careless. B I was 19 and afraid
[Bridge 1]
E A But You deserved more from me.
E B
I don't know whE7m I would saE7m those things.
E A B But You deserved more from me and I'm trying every day.
[Chorus]
E A I think I'm growing into someone You could trust. E9 C# I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks, B B A I want to run until my lungs give up. E9 If I could manage not to fuck this up. F#maj7 E7m B If I could manage not to fuck this up. E7m F#maj7 A I think enough is enough.
[Bridge 2]
(Palm muted) C# You left me walking in circles. A You were a shot in the dark. B You were the baby teeth I buried. A You were the sounds of distant cars. (End palm muted) C# You left me walking in circles. A You were a shot in the dark. B You were the banner that says "No One" A That I tattooed across my heart. C# You left me walking in circles. A You were a shot in the dark. B You're scattered like ashes across every song that I write. A You're where the light pollution starts.
[Chorus]
E A I think I'm growing into someone You could trust. E9 C# I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks, B B A I want to run until my lungs give up. E9 If I could manage not to fuck this up. F#maj7 E7m B If I could manage not to fuck this up. E7m F#maj7 A I think enough is enough.
