I'm a realist
and an optimist
But I swear to
you I'm not
getting over this

D#       Gm
Walking tall in
   A#       Cm
a small town  Full
       Fm
of yourself when
       Gm
you're feeling down
D# Gm           A#
     And that's all
     Cm         Fm Gm
that matters to you
D#            Gm A#
Can't pretend anymore
Cm
Talk is cheap I
Fm          Gm
said that before
D#
But you can still
Gm      A#
taste it  And that's
Cm
one more reason
           Fm
why you're never
      Gm
gonna make it

Chorus:
G#         D#
I've had enough of
        D#/G
all the talk on
           Fm
how you're saving
  G#
me  Talk like you're
D#               Cm
self assured but all
           A#
you are is history
G#     D#    A#
Speak slow I want
       Cm
you to know that
      G#
I'm a realist and
an optimist But I
A#
swear to you I'm
not getting over
    D# Cm        G#
this   No no I'm not
                 D# Cm A#
getting over this

You've got the right be all that you wanna be
And that's extra ordinary
Is it worth the risk?
(Can you handle it?)
I can't pretend anymore
You don't wanna leave, you said that before
Oh, but you can still taste it
And that's one more reason why you're
never gonna make it

Chorus:
I've had enough of all the talk on how
you're saving me
Talk like you're self assured but all
you are is history
Speak slow, I want you to know that
I'm a realist and an optimist
But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this

Cm
Fall back in line
     A#       G#       A#
it's too much to expose
Cm
It's your design and
A#         G#         D#
that's the way it goes
Cm
I think I know my
  A#  G#
limits  and how to
              D#
make good decisions
Cm          A#
It hits home
G#        A#
so just go

Chorus:
I've had enough of all the talk
on how you're saving me
Talk like you're self assured but
all you are is history
Speak slow, I want you to know that
I'm a realist and an optimist
And that's one more reason why you're
not getting over this
I'm a realist and an optimist
But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this

No, no, I'm not getting over this
No, no, I'm not getting over this
