[Verse 1]
E*
Tossed around like sea glass

And you rounded out my edges
          Asus2*                        B*
I'll feel better when the headaches go away
           E
I've got a scar across my forehead
        C#m7
Turning purple in the cold
       Asus2
From a night at Shore Memorial
      B
I was sixteen and afraid

        Asus2
Turned away
                 B
Like I'm working babyface
       Emaj7**   C#m7add13 Asus2
Out of Mid-South in the eighties
         Asus2              B
I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape


[Chorus]
            E                              Asus2
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
          E**          E/D#            C#m7
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
  G#m     A
I want to run till my lungs give up
                         C#m7
If I could manage not to f**k this up
                         B6
If I could manage not to f**k this up
                  Asus2
I think enough is enough


[Verse 2]
E
Hidden in the tall grass
       C#m7
In the naked light of day
       Asus2
Put my past self in the ground
          B
I've been dancing on the grave
            E
I'm not the person that I was then
    C#m7
I'm tearing him away
      Asus2
I was bitter, I was careless
      B
I was nineteen and afraid


[Pre-Chorus]
Asus2              E
  But you deserve more from me
Asus2                      F#m
  I don't know why I would say those things
Asus2              E
  But you deserve more than me
        B
And I'm trying every day


[Chorus]
            E                              Asus2
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
          E**          E/D#            C#m7
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
  G#m     A
I want to run till my lungs give up
                         C#m7
If I could manage not to f**k this up
                         B6
If I could manage not to f**k this up
                  Asus2
I think enough is enough


[Bridge]
                       C#m7*      B6*
You left me walking in circles
                       Asus2*
You were a shot in the dark
             C#m7*          B6*
You were the baby teeth I buried
             Asus2*
You were the sounds of distant cars

                       C#m7*      B*
You left me walking in circles
                       Asus2*
You were a shot in the dark
             C#m7*                B*
You were the banner that says "no one"
          Asus2*
That I tattooed across my heart

                       C#m7*      B*
You left me walking in circles
                       Asus2*
You were a shot in the dark
                   C#m7                 B*
You scattered like ashes across every song that I write
                 Asus2*          B7*
You're where the light pollution starts


[Chorus]
            E                              Asus2
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
          E**          E/D#            C#m7
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
  G#m     A
I want to run till my lungs give up
                         C#m7
If I could manage not to f**k this up
                         B6
If I could manage not to f**k this up
          A       Am   E
Enough is enough
