A#m                 Cdim
I hold my ear to a shell
F#                    G#
I hear somethin' that no one can sell
A#m                              Cdim
Y'know, I should’ve lived by the sea
F#                         G#
'Cause I feel invisible in every city

Chorus:
C#                           Fm
And I know this feeling too well (Too well)
F#                     G#
Of being alive at your own funeral
 Fm                F#    D#m
Goin', "Don't give up on me"
Fm                 F#     D#m
Goin', "Don't give up on me"
  F#         G#      F7         A#m G# F
Please, I'll be the best I can be
     F7      F#    G#  C#
I'll be the best I can be
        Fm       D#m G#
Don't give up on me

I'll come out of my shell
'Cause I want the cake, and I wanna eat it as well
I, I would live in the leaves that
crunch under your feet
I wanna be heard if I can't be seen

Chorus:
And I know this feeling too well (Too well)
Of being alive at your own funeral
Goin', "Don't give up on me"
Goin', "Don't give up on me"
Please, I'll be the best I can be
I'll be the best I can be
