        E          D# 
I would love to be better 
        E          D# 
I would love to be free 
        E          D# 
I would love to be perfect 
     C# 
when you look at me 
 
    E                D# 
But instead I'm still cryin' 
    E                D# 
yes instead I'm still lyin' 
    E                D# 
sad to say I'm still tryin'

not to be me

When I see all the weakness 
       E           B 
that I turned into sickness

I still think I can slide 
     C# 
just fine on the ice 
 
         E          D# 
It's not easy to be honest 
    E              D# 
sometimes I'm just astonished 
   E            D#        C# 
how hard it can be to be true 
E        B 
Why do I lie? 
      E           B 
Is it just to get by 
     E          B 
If I give up my lines 
       C# 
will I die?
 
   E            B 
If fortunes are favored 
     E       B 
then I am in labor 
        E         B 
and I'm tryin' so hard 
         C# 
to leave lyin' behind 
 
 
 
Verse 2: 
        E          D# 
I don't want to be hazy 
        E              D# 
I don't think that I'm crazy 
    E             D# 
but I've had some moments 
      C# 
where I am not sure 
 
       E        D# 
and if you can forgive me 
    E          D# 
for just being human 
     E          D# 
then I will try harder 
   C# 
to keep my words pure

I could be on the border 
         E       B 
It could be a disorder 
    E          D# 
but honestly I think 
     C# 
that I can come clean 
 
    E         D# 
and all of my stories 
      E       D# 
might even be boring 
   E          D# 
If I can tell you 
  C# 
what they all mean
