         G#m       B           E      B
Now the stars are lined up so perfectly
    G#m   B         E       B
For everybody, but not for me
                 G#m B
Wish it could be easy
              E         B
But it never goes that way
                     G#m  B
It's never like the movies
            E
It's never like they say

Chorus:
     E                     B
But maybe one day I'll be back on my feet
    G#m                     F#
And all of this pain on me gone
     E                    B
And maybe it won't be so hard to be me,
           G#m                     F#
then I'll found out just where I belong
    E
It feels like it's taking forever
    G#m
But one day things can get better
     F#sus4 F#
And maybe,
              E
My time will come
And I'll be the lucky one

Now I can't stop thinkin'
How this life could be
I can keep pretendin'
But honestly
Could we really make a difference?
Could we really ever change a thing?
It's never like the movies
It's never like you think

Chorus

    A
So give me a reason to keep holdin' on
 E
Something that makes me believe
                      B
And my life's gonna change
           A
Seems like everyone else gets a shot,
gets a break
   E
I can't wait for that to be me

Chorus
