G
As I'm looking through these pages, re-reading my old statements
C
There's something in every word I write that always takes me back
   G
To when I was sixteen
                           C
A kid that's dreaming of a life I still don't have
         G
Is there something more for me
           C
Than every day stuck on repeat
     G                        C
In a job that doesn't make me happy


[Chorus]
            G
Have I been pushing pen to paper
           C
Instead of catching up on sleep?
        G                          C
I'm overthinking every word that I write down (that I write down)
G
Am I outdated? Fresh ink fading
                          C
Like a name etched in the concrete of our neighbourhood
G            C
That I can't read anymore


[Verse 2]
G
These days I don't feel anything
           C
Except the emptiness inside my chest
       G                           C
I keep reasoning with that voice inside of my head
                 G                      C
That said you're taking too long, get a grip before it's gone


[Chorus]
G
Pushing pen to paper
           C
Instead of catching up on sleep?
        G                          C
I'm overthinking every word that I write down (that I write down)
G
Am I outdated? Fresh ink fading
                          C
Like a name etched in the concrete of our neighbourhood
G            C
That I can't read anymore


[Bridge]
G
Have I been chasing a lie?
C
I can't decide if my choices are right
G
Have I been wasting my time
C
Am I wasting my time
G                       C
I can't decide but I'll keep an open mind


[Chorus]
            G
Have I been pushing pen to paper
           C
Instead of catching up on sleep?
        G                          C
I'm overthinking every word that I write down (that I write down)
G
Am I outdated? Fresh ink fading
                          C
Like a name etched in the concrete of our neighbourhood
G            C
That I can't read anymore
