Verse I
A               E
Why no one will help me
    D           E
I'm too dumb I'm too smart
A               E
They'll not understand me
    D           E
I am lonely they'll hate me
    A                 E
And there is not enough time
    D           E
It's too hard to help me
    A               E
And god wants me to work
        D     E
No resting no lazy


Chorus I
A                       Dm          A
These excuses how they served me so well
                F
They've kept me safe
                A
They've kept me stoic
                Dm               A
They've kept me locked in my own cell

Verse II
A               E
I'm too far from home
        D             E
It takes far too much energy
    A           E
And I cannot afford to
       D        E
No one will ever see me

Chorus I


Chorus II
A                       Dm          A
These excuses how they're so familiar
                F
They've kept me blocked
                A
They've kept me small
                Dm              A
They've kept me safe inside my shell


Bridge
D                 F
Bringing this into the light
           A
Shakes their foundation
      E
And it clears my side
D           F
Now my imagination
        A
Is the only thing that limits
    E                         D
The bar that is raised to the heights


Verse III
A                  E
No one can have it all see
  D             E
I have to they want me to
    A               E
And I can't let them down
       D      E
I'll never be happy
