Intro:
E D# E D# E D# C# (x2)

Verse 1:
I would [E]love to be [D#]better
I would [E]love to be [D#]free
I would [E]love to be [D#]perfect
when [C#]you look at me

But [E]instead I'm still[D#] cryin'
yes [E]instead I'm still[D#] lyin'
sad [E]to say I'm still [D#]tryin'
[C#]not to be me

When I [E]see all the [B]weakness
that I [E]turned into [B]sickness
I still [E]think I can [D#]slide
just [C#]fine on the ice

It's not [E]easy to be [D#]honest
some[E]times I'm just [D#]astonished
how[E] hard it can [D#]be to be t[C#]rue

Chorus:
[E]Why do I [B]lie?
Is it [E]just to get [B]by
If I [E]give up my [B]lines
will I [C#]die?

If [E]fortunes are [B]favored
then [E]I am in [B]labor
and I'm [E]tryin' so [B]hard
to leave [C#]lyin' behind


Verse 2:
I don't [E]want to be [D#]hazy
I don't [E]think that I'm [D#]crazy
but [E]I've had some [D#]moments
where [C#]I am not sure

and if [E]you can f[D#]orgive me
for [E]just being [D#]human
then [E]I will try [D#]harder
to [C#]keep my words pure

I [E]could be on the [B]border
It could [E]be a dis[B]order
but [E]honestly I [D#]think
that [C#]I can come clean

and [E]all of my [D#]stories
might [E]even be [D#]boring
If [E]I can tell [D#]you
wh[C#]at they all mean
