F      Gm                       F             Gm
Sweet talking my way through another funny day
F        Gm                            F
I'm not here in the first place, I've been replaced
              Gm
Haven't quite met this new self of mine,
 F                    Gm
tell me it'll all be fine
 F                               Gm
Tell me I don't need to say the lines

Chorus:
F    Am   Dm             Gm                      C
I'm fine getting stoned alone, with all of this time
 Gm                    C7  C
Maybe I'll finally be mine

Dressing myself for the day, like I'm on my
way to the grand parade
I catch my eye in the mirror and smile back
at myself
Opened up some boxes that are filled with
pieces of me
All of those years trying to squeeze into
 boxes that didn't fit all of me

Chorus:
I realize what it all means when
I'm looking into mother's eyes
I'm looking into mother's eyes

F                   Gm
I'm sitting in the corner of my mind
F                        Gm
I don't mean to sit here so much of the time
F                   Gm
Tears rolling, I'm shaking, but I'm fine
F                    Gm
I'll be running into you all the time

F      Am                Gm
I want you, but I don't want you to be mine
F       Am              Gm
I want you, but I don't want you to be mine
F                     Gm
Feels like the paradox of my life
F                              Gm
Feels like I'll get there one step at a time
F           Am               Gm
We've been balancing on the finest line

Loving you's the cure and the crime
Loving you's the cure and the crime
The words are there, they're knocking at our teeth
I'm feeling bare and hot head to feet
I've got nowhere to go and no one to meet

F               Gm
I see it now, I see my heart beat
F               Gm
I see it now, I see what I need
F                    Gm
To be sitting in the corner of my mind
F                    Gm
To be sitting in the corner of my mind
F               Gm
Sitting in the corner of my mind
F               Gm
Sitting in the corner of my mind
F               Gm
Sitting in the corner of my mind
F               Gm
Sitting in the corner of my mind
F               Gm
Sitting in the corner of my mind
F               Gm
Sitting in the corner of my mind
