Tom: C
G
As I'm looking through these pages, re-reading my old statements
C
There's something in every word I write that always takes me back
G
To when I was sixteen
C
A kid that's dreaming of a life I still don't have
G
Is there something more for me
C
Than every day stuck on repeat
G C
In a job that doesn't make me happy
[Chorus]
G
Have I been pushing pen to paper
C
Instead of catching up on sleep?
G C
I'm overthinking every word that I write down (that I write down)
G
Am I outdated? Fresh ink fading
C
Like a name etched in the concrete of our neighbourhood
G C
That I can't read anymore
[Verse 2]
G
These days I don't feel anything
C
Except the emptiness inside my chest
G C
I keep reasoning with that voice inside of my head
G C
That said you're taking too long, get a grip before it's gone
[Chorus]
G
Pushing pen to paper
C
Instead of catching up on sleep?
G C
I'm overthinking every word that I write down (that I write down)
G
Am I outdated? Fresh ink fading
C
Like a name etched in the concrete of our neighbourhood
G C
That I can't read anymore
[Bridge]
G
Have I been chasing a lie?
C
I can't decide if my choices are right
G
Have I been wasting my time
C
Am I wasting my time
G C
I can't decide but I'll keep an open mind
[Chorus]
G
Have I been pushing pen to paper
C
Instead of catching up on sleep?
G C
I'm overthinking every word that I write down (that I write down)
G
Am I outdated? Fresh ink fading
C
Like a name etched in the concrete of our neighbourhood
G C
That I can't read anymore
