Why Don't We

Be Myself

Why Don't We


Tom: Am

C Em F Fm (2x)


[Verse 1]
           C
Where do I start?
Em         F                        Fm
 All these thoughts inside my head, colliding
C                         F
I decide I'm stayin' in tonight
                       C
They say, "Follow your heart"
E         F
 But it's beating uncontrollably
  C                                    F
I can't hear what it's tellin' me this time


[Pre-Chorus]
      C              E       F         Fm
We're dancin' on the edge of anxiety's ledge
            C          Em       F
And I might fall again, I might fall
      C            E       F         Fm
We're walkin' on a rope of worry and I hope
             C          Em       F
That I don't fall again, I don't fall, oh


[Chorus]
C       E         F
Take me somewhere I can be
C      Em   F
 I can be myself
    C       Em        F
Oh, take me somewhere I am free
C        Em   F                     C Em F C Em F
 Free to be myself, and nothin' else


[Verse 2]
               C    E      F
I've never had pride for myself and I'm proud of that
       C               Em            F
'Cause I know that I'm just somebody else
            C              E
So why do I try? (Why do I try?)
       F                          C           Em
Try to find my validation in what everybody's sayin'
            F
I need some help


[Pre-Chorus]
      C              E       F
We're dancin' on the edge of anxiety's ledge
            C          Em       F
And I might fall again, I might fall
      C            E       F
We're walkin' on a rope of worry and I hope
             C          Em       F
That I don't fall again, I don't fall, oh


[Chorus]
C       E         F
Take me somewhere I can be
C      Em   F
 I can be myself
    C       E         F
Oh, take me somewhere I am free
C        Em   F                     C Em F  C Em F  C Em F  C Em F
 Free to be myself, and nothin' else


[Outro]
      C              E      F          Fm
We're dancin' on the edge of anxiety's ledge
            C          Em        F
And I might fall again, I might fall
