             Db                      Ab 
Its getting harder for my mom to convince me 
               Bbm                   Gb 
I'll ever find someone who actually gets me 
                        Db               Ab 
And whose strengths and pains are perfectly aligned 
                     Ebm 
For counterbalancing mine 


                 Db                  Ab 
But tell me if such a specimen does exist 
                     Bbm 
What makes me even believe Id make the top of their list 
                 Db 
Or that we'd occupy 
                   Ab 
The same space and time 
                 Ebm 
On any given timeline 
 

 
                      Db       Ab 
But don't you think I earned a love 
                   Bbm            Gbmaj7 
For all the wicked nights Ive known 
                  Db      Ab 
Surviving all the toxic ones 
                 Ebm 
Waiting for my only 

My only 

                  Db       Ab 
Dont you think I earned a love 
                Bbm         Gbmaj7 
Payment for the pain I've known 
                 Db       Ab 
Refusing to give in to it all 
                 Ebm 
Waiting for my only 

My only 
 

 
                      Db                   Ab 
Im sure there's some perfectly legitimate reason why 
               Bbm 
Ive waited so long; been stung with every treason 

But it's hard to have faith 
                 Ab 
A better future awaits me 
                     Ebm 
From this bottomless hole 
                     Gb                     Ab 
So if you could just toss me down a crystal ball 
                   Bbm 
Show me behind the scenes and the point of it all 
               Gb               Ab                Ebm 
Id take that "fool's hope" and fuel this failing soul 
 

 
                      Db       Ab 
But don't you think I earned a love 
                   Bbm           Gbmaj7 
For all the wicked nights Ive known 
                   Db     Ab 
Surviving all the toxic ones 
                Ebm 
Waiting for my only

                   Db       Ab 
Dont you think I earned a love 
                Bbm          Gb 
Payment for the pain I've known 
                  Db       Ab 
Refusing to give in to it all 
                Ebm 
Waiting for my only

HOOK 
                   Bbm                     Ab 
Is there any other way I could get through life 
                    Db                     Ebm 
Without having to endure all the senseless strife 
                        Bbm           Ab          Gb 
It just feels like a gratuitous exercise in inane suffering 
Ebm 
Come for me 
                   Gbm                   Ab 
Is there any other way I can get through life 
                    Db                     Ebm 
Without having to endure all the senseless strife 
                   Bbm                   Ab 
Better yet, cut me out of this space and time and 
          Bbm        Ebm 
Take this cup from me 
 
 
                      Db       Ab 
So dont you think I earned a love 
              Gb 
If only an illusion of 
                 Bbm 
A deus ex machina 
   Ebm      Ab 
To deliver me 
                       Db       Ab 
But don't you think I earned a love 
                  Bbm        Gb 
Or maybe I didnt suffer enough 
                         Db     Ab 
A few more rounds on the karmic bull 
               Ebm 
Waiting for my only 

My only 
                      Db        Ab 
But don't you think I earned a love 
(My face is sure to bow down) 

                    Bbm         Gb 
For all the wicked nights Ive known 
(My wick is close to burned out and I'm) 

                  Db     Ab 
Surviving all the toxic ones 
(Growing weak and weary, waiting for my only) 

                Ebm 
Waiting for my only 

My only 

My only 

My only 

My only 

My only
