C                           G                    F
I'm always pacing back and forth inside just to find
out what it is
C                                   G
That you would take to make you to feel alive
         F
And the days non-repetitive
         C                        G
Well in my defense, you were like all the rest
            F
I can't pretend I know everything
            C                    G
When I'm expecting less it just makes
                F        G
more sense but we, yeah we

Chorus:
C               G          C                F
We can still be anything, living a life in symmetry
C            G
Just don’t grow too reliant on me
F                                  G
Cause I’m not the person I want to be
C               G         C                    F
We can still be anything, I want the world to set
you free
C            G
Just don’t grow too reliant on me
F
Cause I’m not the person that I want to be

Thought I was tangled up in this position and
thinking I could improvise
What goes along with spending time on your own
Is making sure you always open your eyes this time
But this is all I got, I know it's not a lot
I can't pretend I know everything
When I'm expecting less it just makes more
sense but we, yeah we

Chorus

A#              F
All the lights create more strife
         C
And I'm telling you if it's meant to be
A#                       F             C
The last thing I'd ever want to do is leave
you hanging like tapestry
A#     F              C
And I can lead the way
                         A#     F        C
As long as you don't stray too far from me

C                           G                    F
I'm always pacing back and forth inside just to find
out what it is
C                                   G
That you would take to make you to feel alive
         F
And the days non-repetitive

Chorus:
We could still be anything, living
the life in symmetry
I hope your tears are drying on me
Cause now I'm the person I want to be
We could still be anything,
I want the world to set you free
And I hope your tears are drying on me
Cause now I'm the person I want to be
