Long Story Short

D*
D Bm G D


[Verse 1]
D
I'm trying to write this
                  Bm
I'll write down everything that was going on
                G
I'm not good at talking
        D
So I'm trying to put it in a song
         A                  G           D
But you know it's hard to not hurt anyone
           A                         G                 D
Cause I'm trying to write everything that was going on


[Verse 2]
D
I felt like I lost it
                 Bm
I felt that I'd threw it all away
                       G
But as I got up every morning
        D
I just knew there's no other way
        A                 G                    D
Cause life ain't always running on a straight track
        A                  G                    D
And sometimes you realize there's no turning back


[Chorus]
                       G                  D
And I really tried to fix this, all by myself
                  G
The more that I tried it
              D               A             G
You know the more I began to fail, I lost control
                 D
As I got back home


[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D
I got deeper and deeper
           Bm
As I was playing all kind of cons
                   G
Couldn't choose wisely
  D
Between all the rights and wrongs
        A              G                   D
Cause everyday I was about to get things clear
     A               G               D
But on and on I was held back by fear


[Chorus]
                       G                  D
And I really tried to fix this, all by myself
                  G
The more that I tried it
              D               A             G
You know the more I began to fail, I lost control
                 Bm
As I got back home


[Bridge]
                   G                     D
This thing came down like a house of cards
                                             Bm
It was more than clear that I had gone too far
             G                        D
Leaving behind all those mental scars

As I got caught by that thought that I can't really


[Chorus]
G                  D
Fix this, all by myself
                 G
The more that I tried it
               D               A              G
You know the more I began to fail I lost control
                  D  D  D*
As I got back home
