Am
Everybody's had the blues

Days when it comes undone

This really shouldn't bother me
I know I'm not the only one

To break down and cry
C F C G C
I don't know why it has to be so hard
Am

C
Turned around a thousand times
Am
Surrendered to the great unknown
Give up and leave it all behind

But this is my dream

A strong heart and you 
Am
I keep it hidden deep inside

It's just a phase I'm going through

I show the world a pretty face
But I'm not really fooling you

'Cause you know how I feel

You know how to heal this wounded pride
