G
I wish I was a couple years older
D
Couple years wiser
Am
Just so I could know your heart
C
But I know that it would still confuse me anyway
G
I felt just a few degrees colder
D
Ever since the day you left
Am
Spare my soul
C
Now I can still feel the pieces of my youth just stripped away
G
What is life but a merry go round
D
Just circling doubts living up in my head
Am C
I know that they want me dead
G
Keep me up when I try to stay down
D
I try to forget all the things that they said
Am C
But they won’t let me go
G
I try to fall asleep
D
But they won’t let me dream
Am C
I just hope some day we’ll come to terms
G
I’m falling underneath
D
And I try so hard to breathe
Am C
As this rollercoaster kills me
G
So this goes out to the mind games in my head
D
You raise hell every night inside of my bed
Am
I don’t know where you came from
C
But I won’t play your carnival no more
[Interlude]
G D Am C
[Verse]
G
I wish I was just a little stronger
D
So they couldn’t beat me up
Am
But they did
C
I can still feel the mulch that they kicked at me pierce my hope
G
So I dusted off my shoulders and then
D Am
Told myself that I could prove it to them
C
Just trying to justify the first taste of feeling low
G
I try to fall asleep
D
But they won’t let me dream
Am C
I just hope some day we’ll come to terms
G
I’m falling underneath
D
And I try so hard to breathe
Am C
As this rollercoaster kills me
G
So this goes out to the mind games in my head
D
You raise hell every night inside of my bed
Am
I don’t know where you came from
C
But I won’t play your carnival no more
