[Opening]
[E]Now there’s no one left to blame, [C#m]and your face stays the [G#]same
[A]You’re ashamed to say you feel relieved, [F#]stay away from your own [B]family

[chorus]
[E]But years from now, if you could [G#m]make them [C#m]proud
You could [F#]leave the world and feel like you’ve [B]achieved the things you hoped to do but
[B]Honestly I don’t feel [G#m]ordinary, ’cause I [C#m]haven’t been at home in a while
[D]Tell them that it’s only temporary, [B]I’m trying my best to smile

[chorus]
But that’s never [E]enough, ’cause when you [C#m]lose [C#]the ones you love
You might [F#m]find it hard to [D]cry
[E]Until it’s only you and everybody [C#m]else [C#]has left the room
You might [F#m]feel what it’s like to [F]not know how to feel [E] [B]

[Closing]
[E]You see, my old lady’s old man just now left
[C#m]And there’s nothing i can say [G#]except this long awaited rest
Is a [A]good thing and all good things must come to an end
It’s [F#m]right in front of me so there’s no [B]reason to pretend Except I’m afraid to [E]die
If this were a [C#m]movie, you’d be [G#]taking our kids to school [A]
And I’d be Channing Tatum or somebody [F#m]sexy, somebody [B]cool

[chorus]
[E]Years from now, if you could [G#m]make them [C#m]proud
[F#]You could leave the world and feel like you’ve [B]achieved the things you hoped to do but
[B]Honestly I don’t feel [G#]ordinary ’cause, I haven’t [C#m]left my house in a while
[D]Tell them that it’s only temporary, I’m [B]trying my best to smile

[chorus]
But that’s never [E]enough, ’cause when you [C#m]lose [C#]the ones you love
You might [F#m]find it hard to [D]cry
[E]Until it’s only you and everybody [C#m]else [C#]has left the room
You might [F#m]feel what it’s like to [F]not know how to feel

[chorus]
[E]Don’t tell me you’re sorry, [C#m]you’re just sorry for [G#]yourself
And [A]though you might seem fine alone, well [F#]I could be the one to [B]help
[E]Don’t tell me you’re sorry, [C#m]you’re just sorry for [G#]yourself
And [A]though you might seem fine alone, well [F#]I could be the one to [B]help

[chorus]
