[Intro]
D     A  Esus4
 
 
[Verse 1]
D                                    A
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you
    Esus4
But I can't really find
D                                         A
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes
    Esus4
And sort them in my mind
D                                   A
The negative thoughts go on the left
    Esus4
The happy things on the right
D                                              A   Esus4
And there's a little corner saved just for you
 
 
[Instrumental]
D    A   Esus4  x2
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m                                   D
Please let me know if you change your mind
 
'Cause inside I'm falling
    A                                 Esus4
And I need you to pull me out of this decline
F#m                                 D
I realize how hard on you this must seem
                    A
But trust me when I say
                        Esus4
It's far, far worse for me
 
 
[Chorus]
A5*                          D5*
Please, please be here for me dear
 
'Cause I've never needed a friend more
F#5*
And I can't stress enough
            D5*
How much it means to me that you're trying
A5*
And I don't mind
                     D5*
If you can't hold me like you used to
                  F#5*
'Cause I've never hated myself more
                   D5 (build up)        N.C
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
A5              D5
                     I promise I'm trying
F#5                         D5
       I promise I'm trying                     
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                          A
Give me a moment to get my cards in line
       Esus4
'Cause I'm still trying to figure out
D                                       A    Esus4
What kind of order I should set them out
D                             A              Esus4
If there was a way to explain everything without a word
D                                              A    Esus4
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m                                   D
I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes
                              A
But a part of me wants to let you be
                                       Esus4
'Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become
F#m                                    D
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out
 
It's like we're in a dream state
                A                        Esus4
But I should've woken up, woken up by now
 
 
[Chorus]
A5*                          D5*
Please, please be here for me dear
 
'Cause I've never needed a friend more
F#5*
And I can't stress enough
            D5*
How much it means to me that you're trying
A5
And I don't mind
                     D5
If you can't hold me like you used to
                  F#5
'Cause I've never hated myself more
                   D5
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
A5              D5
                     I promise I'm trying
F#5             D5
 
A5
