E B A B (x2) [Verse 1]
E
Tossed around like sea glass and you rounded out my edges.

          (A)                          (B)
I'll feel better when the headaches go away.

        E                                 C#m
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

       E        D        A
Out of Mid-South in the 80's.

         E                  B
I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape.
[Chorus]
             E                              A
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust.

           E           B/D#            C#m
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,

  G#m     A 
I want to run until my lungs give up.

                         C#m       E
If I could manage not to fuck this up.

                          B
If I could manage not to fuck this up.

                   A
I think enough is enough.
[Verse 2]
E                               C#m
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.

            E
I'm not the person that I was then,

     A           C#m
I'm tearing him away.

       A
I was bitter. I was careless.

      B
I was 19 and afraid
[Pre-Chorus]
A                E
But you deserved more from me.

A                        F#m
I don't know why I would say those things.

A                E                    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.

           E           B/D#            C#m
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,

  G#m     A 
I want to run until my lungs give up.

                         C#m       E
If I could manage not to fuck this up.

                          B
If I could manage not to fuck this up.

                   A
I think enough is enough.
[Bridge]
A                            
You left me walking in circles.

C#m        B            F#m    B
You were a shot in the dark.

G#m          C#m           B
You were the baby teeth I buried.

             G#m                B
You were the sounds of distant cars. 

                        C#m
You left me walking in circles.

            B          A
You were a shot in the dark.

             F#m
You were the banner that says "No One"

       G#m                B
That I tattooed across my heart.

A                       C#m
You left me walking in circles.

            B           A
You were a shot in the dark.

                      F#m                E
You're scattered like ashes across every song that I write.

                  B
You're where the light pollution starts.
[Chorus]
             E                              A
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust.

           E           B/D#            C#m
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,

  G#m     A 
I want to run until my lungs give up.

                         C#m       E
If I could manage not to fuck this up.

                          B
If I could manage not to fuck this up.

E          A
Enough is enough.
