[Verse 1]
    G
The places I remember are
getting worn and withered
   D/F#
My heart is the picket fences
and needs a little mending
C
am I not everything you
          D
thought I should be?


[Verse 2]
    G
The faces in the picture are
burnt just like the real ones
     D/F#
Our skin is the exposure
it's gotten so much older
    C
But am I not everything
              D
you thought I could be?


[Refrain 1]
     Am
This life long competition
      C
still reeks of repetition
     G
I've failed at everything
           D/F#
I tried to do my life
                  Am
plays in front of you
And now I've realized
Continues after the ad
        Bm
there's nothing left
for me to hide I've
C
opened myself enough
        D
for the world
to see my guts


[Chorus 1]
G             D
Where are you now? and
F              Em   F C
where have you been?
G
Everything and everyone
D
Everything and everyone
F               C  D
Must come to an end


[Verse 3]
    G
The children in the school
yard have grown so cold and
          D/F#
tired The shift is almost over
I'm praying I don't get fired
C
Life isn't everything
             D
I thought it should be


[Verse 4]
    G
The bills left on the table
will be payed if I was able to
D/F#
Work a few more hours
my life has grown so sour
  C
Because I'm not everything
            D
I thought I could be


[Refrain 2]
     Am
This life long competition
      C
still reeks of repetition
     G
I've failed at everything
           D/F#
I tried to do my life
                  Am
plays in front of you
And now I've realized
        Bm
there's nothing left
for me to hide I've
C
opened myself enough
        D
for the world
to see my guts


[Chorus 2]
G             D
Where are you now? and
F              Em   F C
where have you been?
G
Everything and everyone
D
Everything and everyone
F               C  D
Must come to an end

thought I should be?
