Tom: Am
Am
Well, you don’t like that way that I am (is not the way)
F
Way that you want and the way you understand (but I can’t)
C
Can’t help being the way that I am (it’s just the way)
G
Way that it is and what I know, so sorry about
Am
All of these things that I be and I know (it's all me)
F
And not you but this ain't how I wish (it to be)
C
For you and your way and I know (it’s all me)
G
Just know that I know, I know it’s all on me
[Pre-chorus]
F G Am
All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho
F G Am
Fragmented to the point of is it possible?
[Chorus]
F G C F
Hot on the trail of a real fine life
F G C F
This could be what it means to be alive
F G C F
Can’t be too sure but it feels the right way
F G C
Love is infinite like sun rays
[Verse 2]
F G C
I know what I need to be me
F G C
And I know being me makes it hard to see
F G C
Standing on a precipice isn’t new
F G C
Those demons sometimes get me seeing blue
[Bridge]
F G
All this, call this, what you want but it
C F
Makes me feel alive
F G
Stowed it, showed it, now I know it
C F
Can’t be in my mind
F G
It was foreign, pouring, I’ve been storing
C F
This for a long while
F G
I consumed, felt doomed, sung a new tune
C F
Eventually in time
[Verse 3]
Am
But you don’t like that way that I feel (is the way)
F
Way that makes you feel worse all of the time (and I know)
C
Know that it’s not okay for you (and it’s not)
G
Not for me and is for you, so sorry about
Am
All of these things that you didn’t sign up for (and I don’t)
F
Don’t wish the pain on you, it’s so sore (but I’ve been)
C
Honest to fault (but it doesn’t help)
G
I know that hurts and it hurts and it keeps on hurting
[Ad lib]
Am
Every single time we try and try to
F
make things right for you and I
C
We just kept digging, digging it deep
E
Below our feet till we started to sink
Am
And I didn’t know what, what to do
F
I told myself the truth, the truth
C
And I could understand and you could understand
E7
But how could we stand, when there was nowhere to stand?
Am
And all the little things that get under our skin
F
Didn’t make us better in that heavy weather
C
I hope that it’s better but never upsetter
E7
We took our hands, made some vague plan
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am
All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho
F G Am
Fragmented to the point of is it possible?
[Chorus]
F G C F
Hot on the trail of a real fine life
F G C F
This could be what it means to be alive
F G C F
Can’t be too sure but it feels the right way
F G C
Love is infinite like sun rays
[Verse 4]
F G C
I know what I need to be me
F G C
And I know being me makes it hard to see
F G C
The distance hasn’t always been clear
F G C E
But finally with our love it could appear
F
And you don’t like what it is
G
And you don’t know what it is
F
And I can’t sum it up easily
G
But I know what it is that I plainly see
[Outro]
Am
Yeah, who could have liked what it was?
F
It caused such a fuss
C
My heart placed in your hand
G
Then we gave love a chance and
