[Chorus]
Am
I'm sorry I wanted to be
C/G Cmaj7/G Am/F Am/F
So much better than this, but I don't think I can
C/G C/B Am/F Am/F
I say these words to keep your body close to my heart.
C/G C/B Am/F
I know you're gone, but I still miss you all the time.
C/G Cmaj7/G Am/F
I say I'm fine but I can't keep you from my mind.
[Verse]
Am C/G Cmaj7/G C/B
You knew the worst of me. You loved the things I hated in myself.
Am C/G
You saw my greatest fears. You sat with me those sixteen years,
Cmaj7/G C/B
When I hated my self, and hated you for loving me all the same. Please look away.
Am C/G Cmaj7/G
But now, I've grown, and moved away from home; I keep my problems to myself,
C/B
Because you taught me that strength wasn't building good support,
Am C/G Cmaj7/G
But rather needing nothing of the sort. I keep steadfast in faith not to the world,
C/B
But to your voice drilling deep inside my head.
Am C/G
I've known the worst of this. I've cut off everyone,
Cmaj7/G C/B
Because you taught me that's how a man should be.
[Chorus]
Am
I'm sorry I wanted to be
C/G Cmaj7/G Am/F
So much better than this, but I don't think I can
Am/F
I'm sorry I wanted to be
C/G Cmaj7/G Am/F Am/F
So much better than this, but I don't think I can
C/G C/B Am/F
I say these words to keep your body close to my heart.
C/G C/B Am/F
I know you're gone, but I still miss you all the time.
C/G Cmaj7/G Am/F
I say I'm fine but I can't keep you from my mind.
Am Am/F
I wanted to be so much better, but I'm not
