C  Am  Em


[Verse 1]
C            Am
I let go the rest you know
Em            F             C         G   C
I'm afraid to let myself be frightened, oh love
C              Am
I could have my reasoning
Em              F                C
Just to let this season and those bygones
G   C
 Be bygones
C                Am
I write songs to wake me
Em           F             C G   C
Every course breaks me apart,  my  heart


[Verse 2]
Am          G
I'm already on my feet
F                 C
Where else do you want me?
Am           G                 F
  I might as well just hold my demons
Am            G
Am I right or am I wrong?
F             C
I get sick of all my songs
Am             G                  F
Don't sing the words, just read between them
Am             G
I play till my fingers bleed
F               C
Just to get you out of me
Am              G               F  G
Just to get you on those pages


[Chorus 1]
C         G  Am   G  F    G
I'll make it up   to me
C         G  Am   F  Dm   G
I'll make it up   to me
C         G  Am   G  F    G
I'll make it up   to me


[Verse 3]
C              Am
I wrote down a symphony
Em              F                C         G
Just to take my mind off all the leaving
    C
I've done
C                Am
I can't paint it out of me
Em           F             C         G    C
All I get is bruises on my knees and   my thumb
C             Am        Em           F              C    G  Am    F
I try hard to leave it, but I cannot write myself a story I like


[Interlude]
C  G  C  G


[Verse 4]
Am              G
I don't want to be the best
F           C
I am weary, let me rest
Am             G                   F        G
  I'm going to wait right here for no one
Am             G
I'm the reason I can't sleep
F            C
I got all my baby teeth
Am           G             F            G
  All buried underneath my grown ones
Am             G
Oh, I fear the races run
F             G
I'm afraid of everyone
Am              G                   F  G
I get scared of all this breathing


[Interlude]
Dm  G  C  Am
Dm


[Chorus 2]
Dm  G
  I give up
C                     G  Am
 I'm going to live if it kills me
Dm  G
  I give up
C                     G  Am
 I'm going to live if it kills me
Dm  G
  I give up
C                     G  Am
 I'm going to live if it kills me
Dm  G
  I give up
C                     G  Am
 I'm going to live if it kills me
Dm  G
  I give up
C                     G  Am
 I'm going to live if it kills me
