INTRO 
G F#m Em A (Bm)  
G F#m Em A (Bm) 

verse 1 
  G                                  F#m 
I hear you've got your troubles, or so I've been told 
Em                          A         Bm  
Maybe just a couple but I'm not quite sold 
    G                                     F#m 
I'm indifferent to the difference between tomorrow and today 
Em                           A                    Bm  
Less an indiscretion than a lesson I've been paid and and (and) 
    G                      F#m 
The stages of recovery can signify your age 
     Em             A 
Like rings around a stump 
                      Bm       G        
Oh, that's something I know a little bit about, child 
F#m                                     Em 
Lately, it's been getting a little bit crazy 
                     A             Bm 
I don't wanna be complaining, complaining, oh 


Pre-Chorus  

G ~            A ~ 
All my friends go to bed 
A ~                              Bm ~ 
Dreaming up a reason they should weep, weep 
    G ~            A ~                   A ~                         
And all my friends go to the ends of the earth,  
                             Bm (stop) 
for secrets they don't wanna keep. 


Chorus 

                  Bm  
And this is my confession, yes, yes 
              A 
This is me confessing: God bless 
             G 
The sad and selfish 
                
Stay helpless 
           A             Bm  
Cause I've always been stronger than that 
                        A 
Hold the weight of the world on my back 
           G 
It's just love, selfish love 
                   A 
Love, selfish love 

HOOK(?) 

G                      F#m 
I've got nothing to confess, yes 
Em                     A     Bm 
I've got nothing to confess, yes 
G                      F#m 
I've got nothing to confess, yes 
Em                     A     Bm*  
I've got nothing to confess, yes 

verse 2 

G                   
It's too easy to be scared sometimes 
F#m                    Em  
I'm not gonna lie like I don't understand 
                        G                        F#m 
But it's like the whole world is jumping off the bridge 
                             Em                  A  Bm 
And you don't want to be the one standing on dry land 


Pre-Chorus 

(just clapping for this. you can play the chords if you want to though) 
G              A                     A                                   Bm (stop) 
All my friends go to the ends of the earth for secrets they don't wanna keep 


Chorus 
                   Bm  
And this is my confession, yes, yes 
               A 
This is me confessing: God bless 
             G 
The sad and selfish; 
               A 
Stay helpless 
                         Bm  
'Coz I've always been stronger than that 
                       A 
Hold the weight of the world on my back 
           G 
It's just love, selfish love 
                   A 
Love, selfish love
