[Chorus]
Am                        
I'm sorry I wanted to be 
C/G                 Cmaj7/G                   Am/F Am/F 
So much better than this, but I don't think I can
             C/G               C/B           Am/F Am/F                 
I say these words to keep your body close to my heart.
              C/G              C/B             Am/F             
I know you're gone, but I still miss you all the time.
          C/G              Cmaj7/G             Am/F
I say I'm fine but I can't keep you from my mind.

[Verse]
Am            C/G             Cmaj7/G             C/B
You knew the worst of me. You loved the things I hated in myself.
Am                             C/G             
You saw my greatest fears. You sat with me those sixteen years,
       Cmaj7/G                          C/B
When I hated my self, and hated you for loving me all the same. Please look away.
Am                             C/G                             Cmaj7/G             
But now, I've grown, and moved away from home; I keep my problems to myself,
                             C/B                           
Because you taught me that strength wasn't building good support, 
Am                         C/G                                      Cmaj7/G    
But rather needing nothing of the sort. I keep steadfast in faith not to the world,
                           C/B
But to your voice drilling deep inside my head.
Am                            C/G            
I've known the worst of this. I've cut off everyone,
Cmaj7/G                      C/B
Because you taught me that's how a man should be.

[Chorus]
Am                        
I'm sorry I wanted to be 
C/G                 Cmaj7/G                   Am/F 
So much better than this, but I don't think I can
Am/F                        
I'm sorry I wanted to be 
C/G                 Cmaj7/G                   Am/F Am/F
So much better than this, but I don't think I can
             C/G               C/B               Am/F                  
I say these words to keep your body close to my heart.
             C/G               C/B               Am/F              
I know you're gone, but I still miss you all the time.
          C/G              Cmaj7/G          Am/F
I say I'm fine but I can't keep you from my mind.
Am                                    Am/F
I wanted to be so much better, but I'm not
