Tom: D
D Dmaj7 D7 Em A
[Verse 1]
D Dmaj7 D7
Used to be held captive by my fears
Em
Shackles on my wrists like souvenirs
Lost myself in any thing
A
Couldn't see the ending through my tears
D Dmaj7 D7
Used to hold my tongue and play along
Em
Only knew that I had to be strong
Lost my own identity
A
Didn't know what in my world was wrong
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7
Sugar-coated all my pain
D7 Em A
Couldn't help it, I was just a kid then, begging for a break
D Dmaj7 D7
Now I'm twenty, pushing twenty-one, hoping that I'll be someone
Em A
Running from the person I created when I had no one
D Dmaj7 D7
Twenty pushing anxiously, hoping that I'll be happy
Em A
Writing to the person I wanna be
D Dmaj7 D7
In a letter to me
Em A
In a letter to me
[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7 D7
So I'm done letting myself bleed
Em
In a spiral of my own self-pity
A
I'm done searchin' for remedies and people who don't care about me
D Dmaj7 D7
Yeah, there's a lot of things I don't know (Don't know, don't know)
Em A
But I know that I'm on my way to finally bein' okay, alone
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7
No more sugar-coatin' all my pain (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
D7 Em A
Couldn't help it, I was just a kid, begging for a break (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
D Dmaj7 D7
Now I'm twenty, pushing twenty-one, hoping that I'll be someone (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Em A
Running from the person I created when I had no one (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
D Dmaj7 D7
Twenty pushing anxiously, hoping that I'll be happy (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Em A
Writing to the person I wanna be (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
D Dmaj7 D7
In a letter to me (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Em A
In a letter to me (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Outro]
D Dmaj7 D7 Em A
N.C.
In a letter to me
