Intro C9  G
        C9  G
C9                                       G
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you
But I can't really find
C9                                           G
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes
And sort them in my mind
C9                                   G
The negative thoughts go on the left
And the happy things on the right
C9                                            G
And there's a little corner saved just for you
Em                                    C9
Please let me know if you change your mind
Cause inside I'm falling
G                                     D
And I need you to pull me out of this decline
Em                    C9
I realise how hard on you this must seem
But trust me
       G                          D
When I say its far, far worse for me
G                              C9
Please, please be here for me dear
Cause I've never needed a friend more
    Em                               C9
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
G                                     C9
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
                 Em
Cause I've never hated myself more
                   C9
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
( G  C9 )

C9                                  G
Give me a moment to get my cards in line
Cause I'm still trying to figure out
C9                                       G
In what kind of order I should set them out
C9                         G
If there was a way to explain everything without a word
C9                                           G
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt
Em                                        C9
I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes
                                    G
But a part of me wants to let you be
                                      D
Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become
Em                                        C9
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out
It's like we're in a dream state
          G                                  D
But I should've woken up, woken up by now
G                              C9
Please, please be here for me dear
Cause I've never needed a friend more
    Em                               C9
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
G                                     C9
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
                 Em
Cause I've never hated myself more
                   C9
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
( G  C9 )
