Intro: Em     C     Em     C

Verse:
Em                         C
I know that I have issues, I face them, I swear
Em                         C
Think I overcome them then turn they're still there
Em                         C
Wish that I was different, I'd like to let go
Em                         C
But when I try to change there's my past saying no

D                         C
Maybe it's all 'cause of dad, his new kids, his new wife
D                         C                         D
Or why not just blame mom, who's been nuts my whole life

Chorus:
Em                         C
When you've felt so alone since the moment of birth 
Em                         C
And you've struggled to find your own true sense of worth
Em                         C
When it seems there is no one across this whole earth
Em                         C
To depend upon you carry on
          Em     D     C
Just like you always do

Em          C          Em              
'Cause it's safer to rely on you
C          Em          D
Oh it's safer to rely on you

Em     C     Em     C

Verse:
Em                         C
Seen a million movies all selling true love
Em                         C
Fantasies I'm not sure that I'm worthy of
Em                         C
Caution to the wind my heart's been on display
Em                         C
Still the end result is it's not gone my way

D                         C
So when I date some new guy who's a deadbeat or jerk
D                         C                         D
At leat I'm not so crushed when it all doesn't work

Chorus:
Em                         C
When you once, unafraid wore your heart on your sleeve
Em                         C
And the ones that you loved chose to just turn and leave
Em                         C
Every day it gets harder to somehow believe
Em                         C
You will survive so you strive
          Em     D     C
Just to keep up your guard

Em          C          Em
'Cause it's safer to hold every card
C          Em          D          Em
Oh it's safer to hold every card

I feel safe on the ground
          D D D D
I go building up walls
C          G     
Yet I wish to be found


B                         C          C
A true contradiction to which I am bound
Em                         C
As I keep on spinning around and around

Chorus (Key Change): 
Fm                         Db                          
And I look at the people who've worked it all out
Fm                         Db
And I wonder why I'm still a bundle of doubt
Fm                         Db
And sometimes I wanna just stand up and shout
Fm                         Db
Just commit and deal with it
          Fm     Eb    Db
Before your life flies by
          Fm     Eb    Db
Don't let your life fly by

If I don't ... try
