[Verse 1]
C#m                          A
  I'm heartsick and well rehearsed
                            E      
Highly decorated with a badge that 
       D#
reads "It could be worse"
C#m                               
  So prideful I choose to live in 
     A
disguise
          E             D#
With a levee set for my heavy eyes

[Chorus]
E                       C#m
   I apologize for the grief
      A              E
When you'd refuse to eat
                            C#m
I didn't know just what to say
       A
While watching you wither away

[Verse 2]
C#m                              
  I'm homesick and living in the 
A
past
          E             D#
Seemingly unfazed and strong if 
anyone asks
C#m                               
  I'm keeping up appereances with 
         A
white lies
          E             D#
With a levee set for my heavy eyes

[Chorus]
E                       C#m
   I apologize for the grief
      A                 E
When you'd talk about belief
                            C#m
I didn't know just what to say
       A
While watching you wither away

[Interlude]
 E
It was time this whole time
 E
We can't undo or rewind
 E
Just a simple conversation about 
nothing much at all
  A
Couldn't keep me in the room, I just
 kept walking down the hall
 E
But now I understand just what a 
fool I'd been
 A
No matter what the context, I won't 
have that time again
(and I live with that)

[Chorus]
E                            C#m
I took inventory of what I took for 
granted
       A                       
And I ended up with more than I 
    E
imagined
I've kept it bottled up and to 
  C#m
myself in the cellar
A                             
Kept for my everchanging mental 
  E
health
