[Intro]
Fm Bb Fm Bb

[Verse 1]
F
he was certain
F
so was I
Db
there was comfort
Db
in her sighs
Bbm
dreams and ideas should not be the same thing
Ab                          C
You waited smiling for this

[Verse 2]
F
oh she’d want it
F
if she knew
Db
she could take it,
Db
I thought too
Bbm
be careful be cautious but you just wished harder
Ab                         C *
you waited smiling for this

[Chorus]
          F                              Bb
“But they love you!” over and over “they love you!”
Bb
thousands and thousands of
Dm
eyes just like mine
F
aching to find
           Bb
who they are
     F                                 Bb
and they love you! oh you can feel how they love you!
Bb
coated and warm but that’s
Dm
all they can do
     F
words only get through
              Bb
if they’re sharp

[Verse 3]
F
Oh how fitting
F
for one so fake
Db
make me a fairy
Db
whatever it takes
Bbm
and just like her tale my dream was a scam
Ab                            C
Oh you waited smiling for this

[Verse 4]
F
I am burnt out
F
I smell of smoke
Db
it seeps through her cracks and so I start to choke
Bbm
sentences sit in her mouth that are templated
Ab                         C *
You waited smiling for this

[Chorus]
          F                              Bb
“But they love you!” over and over “they love you!”
Bb
thousands and thousands of
Dm
eyes just like mine
F
aching to find
           Bb
who they are
     F                                 Bb
and they love you! oh you can feel how they love you!
Bb
coated and warm but that’s
Dm
all they can do
     F
words only get through
              Bb
if they’re sharp

[Bridge]
Eb                        Bb
I can just talk about it
Eb                        Bb
maybe I'll talk about it
Eb                        Bb
i'll never talk about it
Eb                       Bb *
i cannot talk about it

[Ending]
F
don't build hope on something broken
Bb
i am not cartoon
F
cry for help
F
i am not joking
Bb
i might just leave soon.
