I [E]would love to[Eb] be better

I [E]would love to[Eb] be free

I [E]would love to[Eb] be perfect

wh[C#]en you look at me

Bu[E]t instead I'm still[Eb] cryin'

ye[E]s instead I'm still[Eb] lyin'

sa[E]d to say I'm still [Eb]tryin'

no[C#]t to be me

Wh[E]en I see all t[B]he weakness

th[E]at I turned in[B]to sickness

I [E]still think I [Eb]can slide

ju[C#]st fine on the ice

It[E]'s not easy t[Eb]o be honest

so[E]metimes I'm just [Eb]astonished

ho[E]w hard it can b[Eb]e to be true[C#]

Wh[E]y do I lie?[B]

Is[E] it just to ge[B]t by

If[E] I give up my[B] lines

wi[C#]ll I die?

If[E] fortunes are f[B]avored

th[E]en I am in[B] labor

an[E]d I'm tryin'[B] so hard

to[C#] leave lyin' behind

  

I d[E]on't want to b[Eb]e hazy

I d[E]on't think that I'[Eb]m crazy

but[E] I've had some mo[Eb]ments

whe[C#]re I am not sure

and[E] if you can [Eb]forgive me

for[E] just being hu[Eb]man

the[E]n I will try h[Eb]arder

to [C#]keep my words pure

I c[E]ould be on the bord[B]er

It [E]could be a [B]disorder

but[E] honestly I th[Eb]ink

tha[C#]t I can come clean

and[E] all of my st[Eb]ories

mig[E]ht even be [Eb]boring

If [E]I can tell you[Eb]

wha[C#]t they all mean
