[Verse 1]
C                 F               C
I've been needing distance from a friend,
   F             C
He paints me insecure,
    F                 C    F
His words can do some work.


[Verse 2]
C             F                  C
I've been overwhelmed I can't pretend,
   F            C
To be so self-assured,
  F              C
A job's always deferred,
   F   N.C.
Go back it's getting worse.

[Verse 3]
C                 F                C
I've been quoting books I've never read,
     F             C
Like I'm some intellect,
            F                 C     F
Yeah, sounds smart must be correct.


[Verse 4]
C                   F
I've been still too long,
            C
They're up ahead,
  F               C
I feel the same today,
   F
As I felt yesterday.


[Verse 5]
         Am
It's all silly now,
              E
Looking back again,
  Dm
I let my doubts,
                   F
Crush my whole campaign.


[Verse 6]
     Am
When I became,
               E
Somewhat self-aware,
  Dm
I felt the shame,
             F
Sank into my chair,
      G               C
And began the whole repair.

[Outro]
C             F
I just made a friend,
           C
I packed a lunch,
          F
I saw the birds outside,
C           F
I made up a trend,
           C
I dodged a punch,
           F
I felt the warmth inside.
