The Way I Am

Gavin Haley


Tom: G

G
Growing up my father told me
G
"Son you know that boys don't cry"
Em                         
Bottled up emotion, always try to keep that shit inside
C                    D
Now I don't know how to feel em
G
College when I met you
G
Never seen someone so beautiful
Em
Told me that you love me
Em                                  
But you need somebody vulnerable
C                    D
But I don't know how


[Chorus]
                  G
I'm sorry for the way that I am
                     Em
Got problems that I don't understand
                     C
Eveytime you ask me "baby you alright ?"
                   Em
Then I stop like a deer in the headlight
               D
Thinking that you'll just get mad
                   G
I'm sorry for the way that I am
                   Em
Got issues that I don't understand
                         C
So eveytime you ask me "baby you alright ?"
                    Em
Then I stop like a deer in the headlight
               D
I'm scared to love you like that
D
So sorry for the way I am
G
The way I am, 
Em
the way I am
C
the way I am
D
So sorry for the way I am


[Verse 2]
G
Don't expect you to stay
G
After all these things I do
Em
Wish I could take your hand
Em
Promise that I'll pull us through
C             D    
But it's all undone
G
No I can't take it back
G
All the things I said before
Em
Moments come, watch them go
Em
Wish I said I love you more
C                  D
'Cause it's not enough


[Chorus]
                  G
I'm sorry for the way that I am
                     Em
Got problems that I don't understand
                     C
Eveytime you ask me "baby you alright ?"
                   Em
Then I stop like a deer in the headlight
               D
Thinking that you'll just get mad
                   G
I'm sorry for the way that I am
                   Em
Got issues that I don't understand
                         C
So eveytime you ask me "baby you alright ?"
                    Em
Then I stop like a deer in the headlight
               D
I'm scared to love you like that
D
So sorry for the way I am
G
The way I am, 
Em
the way I am
C
the way I am
D
So sorry for the way I am
