[Verse 1]
C
Excuse me
Em
I need you to believe me
F
In order to convince myself
Fm
I need to convince someone else
C
Excuse me
Em
It’s a matter of my safety
F
You can tell me that I’m crazy just
Fm
Don’t tell me it’s not real
C
Excuse me
Em
Would you lend me your opinion
F
There’s nothing wrong as far as I can tell
Fm
How’s it possible this feels like hell?
C
Excuse me
Em
I’m not so certain that I’m worthy
F
Don’t mean to ask for help I don’t deserve
Fm
So many peoplе have it worse
[Chorus 1]
C
But I
E
Have run out of things to try
F
Whеn I say how I’ve been feeling
Fm
I see the doubt in people’s eyes
C
And pain
E
Feels a thousand times more dangerous
F
When I can’t say for certain
Fm
Why exactly I am hurting
C
And that’s why
E
I need you to believe me
F
You might not think it’s real
Fm
But this can’t be how I’m supposed to feel
C
I owe my thanks
E
To the people that believed me
F
I can’t prove the things I feel
Fm
But they still trusted they were real
[Verse 2]
C
It was so soothing
Em
To find out I’m not a loser
F
I have a weight that no one else can see
Fm
Won’t compare myself to healthy people
C
I keep healing
Em
As I say what I’ve been feeling
F
Stop saying we all feel that way
Fm
When you’ve never thought you might not stay
C
It’s not weakness
Em
To start spilling all your secrets
F
And start telling people I need help
Fm
I no longer cannot hurt myself
C
It’s not strong to
Em
Just pretend there’s nothing wrong you
F
Will be the hero in your story when
Fm
You start letting other people in
C
I think it’s brave
Em
I think that lives just might be saved
F
When people talk about their pain out loud
Fm
No more things that we don’t talk about
C
Though in the end
Em
All my burdens are my own
F
I can feel them getting lighter when
Fm
I talk about them with my friends
[Chorus 2]
C
Now I
E
Have a couple things to try
F
I have a name for what I’m feeling
Fm
I can finally see it clearly
C
And pain
E
Feels a thousand times less dangerous
F
When I can say for certain
Fm
This is real but I am worth it
C
‘Cause war
E
A war cannot be won
F
If the soldiers always question
Fm
Is this enemy imagined
C
Now I
E
Know a couple things to try
F
To conquer silent pain
Fm
You gotta look it in the eye
C
And call it by its name
