This is how I play it. (The chords do not always make sense but it sounds right if
you have the right effects.)
There is no intro for this song. It begins with lyrics.
[C]Every day I get a [G]little closer to,
The [Dm]things that I wanna, [C]say with my life,
In no [G]particular [Dm]order
[F]I'd like to make [G]some sort of mark,
[Dm]So that the world [C]knows I was here...
And I've [G]been thinkin' about,
[Dm]How I could scream [F]it out loud,
[Dm]Or paint a [G]picture somehow,
[Dm]A thousand miles [G]long
[Dm]And I've been [D]tryin' 'till [F]now,
[C]These walls are [G]freakin' me out,
[Dm]Just need to let it all out,
[Am]And reach out,
[Dm]Because sometimes, [G]you can forget who you are
[Dm]I'm tired of trying[G] to make it,
[Dm]I've spent so [F]many nights,
[C]Tryin' to get it all [G]right, oh-oh-oh
[Dm]I'm sick and [G]tired of waiting,
[C]For someone to see, a[F]nd start believing in me,
Oh-oh-oh
[C]But I know I'm not out [G]here on my own...
[Dm]Every year I get a [E]little farther from,
[F]Old misconceptions, t[G]hat take the place,
[Dm]Of mistakes and lessons,
[C]There's things [G]I've learned from,
[F]Things I've been burned from,
[Dm]It's part of who I am [F]And I've been t[C]hinkin' about,
[G]How I could scream [Dm]it out loud,
[Dm]Or paint a [G]picture somehow,
[Dm]A thousand miles [G]long
[Dm]And I've been [D]tryin' 'till [F]now,
[C]These walls are f[G]reakin' me out,
[Dm]Just need to let it all out,
[Am]And reach out,
[Dm]Because sometimes, [G]you can forget who you are
[Dm]I'm tired of trying[G] to make it,
[Dm]I've spent so [F]many nights,
[C]Tryin' to get it all [G]right, oh-oh-oh
[Dm]I'm sick and [G]tired of waiting,
[C]For someone to see, a[F]nd start believing in me,
Oh-oh-oh
[Dm]But I know I'm not out h[C]ere on my own...
[G]There's been a lot [C]of people,
[Dm]Think I'm [F]goin' no where,
[G]Times that by ten, [F]for every time I felt [G]like turnin' around,
[Dm]But every time [F]you said push on
[Dm]And keep your [G]head up,
[Em]Kept me on track from letting myself [F]get fed up
Then end on a Cm
