F
I know you think I got it all figured out 'cause
A#
I walk around like my head's in the clouds but
Dm
I'm just a boy with his heart pourin' out
       C
Of his head
F
I wish that you could see the pain that I've seen and
A#
All of the times I spend being not me and
Dm
I hope you know It's not always happy
      C
In my head

       A#        C
'Cause I don't know
     F       C/E     Dm
The perfect road to go down
C      A#  A#m
But I know

Chorus:
            F
I'm trying my best
            A#
I'm trying my best to be okay
            Dm
I'm trying my best but every day
         C
It's so hard
                 F
And I'm holding my breath
             A#
I'm holding my breath til I can say
            Dm
All of the words I want to say
         C
From my heart

If you really wanted I could let you inside
It’s been so long and I’ve got nothing left to hide
Would you believe me if I told you that I’ve
Got flaws
Now it’s time to let the curtains unfold and
Tell all the stories that I didn’t want told yeah
Let it out so I unburden my soul
I won't stop

'Cause I don't know
The perfect road to go down
But I know

Chorus:
I'm trying my best
I'm trying my best to be okay
I'm trying my best but every day
It's so hard
And I'm holding my breath
I'm holding my breath til I can say
All of the words I want to say
From my heart - x2
