[Verse 1]
                     B   C#  F#   B   C#
People tell me to be cautious
       F#             G#m      B            G#m  B
People tell me not to lose my self control
                     B    C#   F#   B  C#
People tell me to be flawless
       F#             G#m     B         G#m  B
People tell me not to let myself evolve


[Pre-chorus]
    B         C#          F#
And I think I don't really get it
B            C#          D#m          F#
I think it's all just a peculiar game
    B              C#           D#m     A#m
And soon I'll wake up and I'll forget it
    G#m           A#m           B
And everyone will know me by a different name


[Chorus]
                         C#   F#    
I wanted to be stronger
     A#m       B     C#       D#m
I wanted to be everything for you
  A#m         B        C#          D#m
If I could be stronger would you believe
A#m          B                 C#         D#m
That I could love you like you want me to?


[Break]
B               A#m         D#m
Love me like you want me to
B        A#m        D#m

Love me like you want me to
B        A#m        D#m
Like you want me to


[Verse 2] 
B         A#m              D#m
I held my breath every time
D#m
I tried to keep myself dry
B         A#m     D#m
But did I ask too much?
B          A#m      D#m
If I could do it again
D#m
Would you believe what I said
B            A#m         D#m
That I still want that rush


[Pre-chorus]
    B         C#          F#
And I think I don't really get it
B            C#          D#m          F#
I think it's all just a peculiar game
    B              C#           D#m     A#m
And soon I'll wake up and I'll forget it
    G#m           A#m           B
And everyone will know me by a different name


[Chorus]
                         C#   F#    
I wanted to be stronger
     A#m       B     C#       D#m
I wanted to be everything for you
  A#m         B        C#          D#m
If I could be stronger would you believe
A#m          B                 C#         D#m
That I could love you like you want me to?
