 Bb    F
Yeah, yeah
 Am    Dm
Yeah, yeah
 Bb    F
Yeah, yeah
 Am    Dm
Yeah, yeah


[Verse 1]
        Bb                 F
Come a long way, the hard way
     Am              Dm
And maybe I made it too hard
        Bb                    F
Been a long fight, the wrong kind
       Am                     Dm
That breaks you and leaves you unsure
      Bb                  F
Been fighting to feel like myself
     Am                 Dm
Not sure that's what I want anymore
         Bb                F
Feeling like me is probably the problem
Am       Dm
 I've had all along


[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
I tell everyone I got better
F
 But what if I'm not?
      Bb
It's hard to face the truth sometimes
       Dm
(It's hard to face the truth)
       Bb
Oh and I tell everyone it gets better
F
 But what if I'm wrong?
      Bb
It's hard to tell the truth sometimes
     C
Am I always gonna just be, just be


[Chorus]
            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad
                  F                  C
Waiting for the storm clouds to clear in my head
            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad
               F               C
Wondering if this is as good as it gets
                   Bb            F
Am I always gonna just be, just be getting by
 C             Dm
Telling myself it's alright?
Bb               F
 Does it matter how hard I try?
     C
Am I always gonna just be, just be
            Bb
Background sad


[Post-Chorus]
 F
Yeah
 Am    Dm
Yeah, yeah


[Verse 2]
       Bb          F
I got pages and pages
    Am          Dm
Of documentation I keep
 Bb             F
Looking for answers
     Am                 Dm
And patterns I've hidden in me
 Bb                 F
Don't need the world in my hands
              Am               Dm
Think I'd be happy with halfway content
           Bb             F
I should grow up and shut up
      Am            Dm
I'm probably wanting too much


[Pre-Chorus]
       Bb
Oh and I tell everyone it gets better
F
 But what if I'm wrong?
      Bb                         C
It's hard to tell the truth sometimes (Am I always gonna just be, just be)


[Chorus]
            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad
                  F                  C
Waiting for the storm clouds to clear in my head
            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad
               F               C
Wondering if this is as good as it gets
                   Bb            F
Am I always gonna just be, just be getting by
 C             Dm
Telling myself it's alright?
Bb               F
 Does it matter how hard I try?
     C
Am I always gonna just be, just be
            Bb
Background sad


[Bridge]
 F                   Am     Dm
Will I always be waiting? (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Bb     F                Am     Dm
 And what is it I'm chasing? (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Bb F                     Am         Dm
 These questions could drive someone crazy
Bb                      F                Am         Dm
I don't want to spend the rest of my life asking myself
     N.C.
Am I always gonna just be, just be


[Chorus]
            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad
                  F                  C
Waiting for the storm clouds to clear in my head
            Dm        Bb
Background sad, background sad
               F               C
Wondering if this is as good as it gets
                   Bb            F
Am I always gonna just be, just be getting by
 C             Dm
Telling myself it's alright?
Bb               F
 Does it matter how hard I try?
     C
Am I always gonna just be, just be
            Bb
Background sad

 Am    Dm
Yeah, yeah
 Bb    F
Yeah, yeah
 Am    Dm
Yeah, yeah
