Ab Cm
Words fall out of my mouth
Bb Fm
They drift to the ground and they don't make a sound
Ab Cm Bb
I'll try to assemble them back to the place in my head
Fm
But I fear that I lack
Ab Cm
The proper speak that I need
Bb
To narrate the scene
Fm
To tell you these things
Ab Cm
The proper place for my thoughts
Bb
I know that I'm not
Fm
And you know that I'm not
[Chorus]
Ab Cm
So clear and transparent
Bb Fm
Well I'll try but I can't promise it
Ab Cm
So dark but delicate
Bb Fm
Well I'm rough around the edges and
Ab Cm
You can try to smooth me down
Bb Fm
But I'm not, no, I'm not it
Ab Cm
And you can try to smooth me down
Bb Fm
But I'm not ready to forget
Ab Cm
You can try to smooth me down
Bb Fm
But I'm not, no, I'm not it
Ab Cm
And you can try to smooth me down
Bb Fm
But I'm not ready to forget
Ab Cm
You can try to smooth me down
Ab Cm
You can try to smooth me down
But I'm not ready to forget
[Verse 2]
Ab Cm
Take back all that I've said
Bb Fm
I've said it before and I'll say it again
Ab Cm
It's not like me to pretend
Bb Fm
But the best part of me is the worst I can give
Ab Cm
But you make me so terrified
Bb Fm
I tried to reply but I'm shaking inside
Ab Cm
You gave me a tongue just to tie
Bb Fm
I'll swallow my pride if you swear not to lie
[Bridge]
Fm Ab
Hard to read and hard to speak to
Cm Bb
But don't take my word
Fm Ab Cm Bb
Cause I'm honestly so bored of being misunderstood
I'm not
[Chorus]
Ab Cm
So clear and transparent
Bb Fm
Well I'll try but I can't promise it
Ab Cm
So dark but delicate
Bb Fm
Well I'm rough around the edges and
Ab Cm
You can try to smooth me down
Bb Fm
But I'm not, no, I'm not it
Ab Cm
And you can try to smooth me down
Bb Fm
But I'm not ready to forget
