If you listen to the album version, there's no recognizable strumming pattern, however this
version is meant to be played accoustically. You can just strum the chords, but I recommend you make
a quiet finger-picking pattern for the first verse and then strum starting with the chorus. Just
do what feels right to the mood of the song.
Verse I
D AWhy no one will help me
I'm too dumb I'm too smart
D AThey'll not understand me
G AI am lonely they'll hate me
And there is not enough time
G AIt's too hard to help me
D AAnd god wants me to work
No resting no lazy
Chorus I
D A Gm DThese excuses how they served me so well
GmThey've kept me safe
They've kept me stoic
Cm DThey've kept me locked in my own cell
Verse II
D AI'm too far from home
G AIt takes far too much energy
And I cannot afford to
G ANo one will ever see me
Chorus I
Chorus II
D A Gm DThese excuses how they're so familiar
GmThey've kept me blocked
They've kept me small
Cm DThey've kept me safe inside my shell
Bridge
C GBringing this into the light
Shakes their foundation
AAnd it clears my side
C GNow my imagination
Is the only thing that limits
A CThe bar that is raised to the heights
Verse III
No one can have it all see
G AI have to they want me to
D AAnd I can't let them down
I'll never be happy
Chorus I
Chorus II
