D Everything I do Bm Surrounds these pieces of my life Em That often change A Or hey, maybe I've changed. Sometimes seeming happy Can be self-destructive Even when you're sane Or only insane G A But don't bother waking A Me today. Chorus: D Here I am. D A Bm I'm so young. Bm G I know I've been bitter A D I've been jaded I'm alone. D Every day D A Bm I bite my tongue. Bm G A If you only knew my mind was full of razors G Bm A To cut you like word if only sung. A D Bm But this is my song, it is my song. D Now I live everyday Bm Like there'll never be a last one F#m Till they're gone G A And they're gone I'm not too proud to beg for Your attention and your friendship And your time So you can come and get it from now on Chorus This is my song It's my song D And it's you It is you Chorus: Here I am I'm so young I know I've been bitter I've been jaded I'm alone Everyday, I bite my tongue If you only knew My mind was full of razors I'm not sure I can take it I've nothing strong to hold to I'm way too old to hate you My mind is full of razors To cut you like a Word if only sung But this is my song You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  Em  F#m  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
