Excuses

D                A             G            A
Why no one will help me  i am too dumb i am too smart
D                 A              G            A
they'll not understand me i am lonely they'll hate me
      D             A            G            A
and there is not enough time its too hard to help me
     D               A          G       A
and god wants me to work no resting no lazy

D                       Gm           D
these excuses how they served me so well
              Dm                 D
they kept me safe they kept me stuck
               Gm              D
they kept me locked in my own cell

D                A             G             A
im too far from home it takes far too much energy
D                A         G           A
and i cannot afford to no one will ever see me
       D                       Gm           D
these excuses how they served me so well
              Dm                 D
they kept me safe they kept me stuck
               Gm              D
they kept me locked in my own cell
D                         Gm      D
these excuses how they're so familiar
               Dm                   D
they kept me blocked they kept me small
              Gm              D
they kept me safe inside my shell
D                                         G
bringing these into the light shakes their foundation
   A                 D                         G
and clears my sight now my imagination is the only thing
                 A                        D
that limits the bar and it's rise to the heights

D                   A
no one can have it all
          G            A
i see i have to, they want me to
D                     A
and i can't let them down
        G         A
I will never be happy

Chorus
