Uphill Battle

C Em F G

[Verse 1]
   C
I cried on your shoulder right there in the kitchen
     Em
Our friends in the next room, so close they could listen
    F
And I don't know why
   G
I laugh when I cry
 C
I'm not the girl that you thought you were getting
    Em
I'm way more complex, yeah I got them sharp edges
     F
I'm solid as ice, oh
       G
But I break all the time


[Pre-Chorus 1]
                           C
But if I were a different girl
                             Em
It'd be simpler, that's for sure
                             F
Wouldn't it be nice to be a cool wind, cool wind?

Always keep it breezy
 G
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, but I am not that easy


[Chorus]
C
No, I am who I am
   Em
And I am a lot to handle
F
You do the best you can
    G
But I am an uphill battle

C G

[Verse 2]
           C
You say I act like it's my job to get so emotional
Em
Hell it's my business to get so emotional
F
About to lose it
      G
Just below the surface, ooh yeah
C
Walking around with a knot in my stomach
Em
Got you so high but we're ready to plummet
       F
Going down, going down, going down, going down
G
Oh no


[Pre-Chorus 1]
                           C
But if I were a different girl
                             Em
It'd be simpler, that's for sure
                             F
Wouldn't it be nice to be a cool wind, cool wind?

Always keep it breezy
 G
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, but I am not that easy


[Chorus]
C
No, I am who I am
   Em
And I am a lot to handle
F
You do the best you can
    G
But I am an uphill battle
C
I'll be your solid ground
   Em
And I'll be your biggest gamble
F                            G
You do the best you can, I know


[Bridge]
                       F
So baby baby keep on climbing
                              Em
I'll wrap my arms around you tight
                              F
I'll take you to the highest mountain
                             G
I'll take you to the top tonight


[Pre-Chorus 2]
                       F
If I were a different girl
                                   C
Yeah, it'd be simpler, that's for sure
                                   F
But you know you wouldn't get the sparks from the clash, the high from the crash
     G
The curse and the kiss, they will make this thing last


[Chorus]
C
No, I am who I am
   Em
And I am a lot to handle
F
You do the best you can
    G               G#
But I am an uphill battle
Am
I'll be your solid ground
   Em
And I'll be your biggest gamble
F
You do the best you can
   G                   C    Em
But I am an uphill battle, ooh
                F   G
An uphill battle
           C          Em F G C
An uphill battle, ooh
