F#m
I don't know who I am
Am I even human?
                       E
Every night I sell my soul

F#m
I forgot your birthday
And I'm dressed in rags
F#m                               E
I shouldn't drink, I'll lose control
E
And I know

Chorus:
A
I'm a mess
But at least I know how
A                                C#m
I can make you laugh like no one else
F#m
Such a mess
But at least I've always been myself
F#m                E
without no magic spells

E
Oh no

No one knows my secret
No one knows my heart
Cause it's always on the run

I don't know what I'm doing
I don't know where I'm going
And I don't even know where I come from
I confess

Chorus

Oh no

C#m          F#m
Say you ll stay
            Bm               E         A
cause it s more than just an ordinary day
          F#m
Before you go
          Bm                 E              C#m
There is something that you need to let me know
            F#m
Before you leave
   Bm
However cruel your answer is
    E
Be honest please
                    A
I’m waiting on my knees

A
Will you stand by me
finally
                  E
the day when we grow old
F#m
Would you fall asleep right
next to me
                   E
when my hands are cold
E
Yeah yeah yeeehhh

Chorus
