[Intro]
Bb F/A Gm
Cm7 Bb F/A F
[Verse 1]
Bb F/A Gm
How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes?
Cm7 Bb F/A F
How come we both become a version of a person we don’t even like?
Bb F/A Gm
We’re in love with the world but the world just wants to bring us down
Cm7 Bb F/A F
By puttin’ ideals in our heads to corrupt our hearts somehow
Bb F/A Gm
When I was a child every single thing could blow my mind
Cm7 Bb F/A F
Soaking it all up for fun but now I only soak up wine
Bb F/A Gm
They say to play hard, you work hard, find balance in the sacrifice
Cm7 Bb F/A F
And yet I don’t know anybody who’s truly satisfied
[Refrain]
Bb Am7-5 Ebdim7/A
You better believe I’m trying (Trying, trying)
Gm Fsus4
To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing)
Cm7 Fsus4
But the higher we climb feels like we’re both none the wiser
[Chorus 1]
Bb F/A Gm7
So I hope I learn to get over myself
Cm7 Bb F/A F
Stop trying to be somebody else
Bb F/A Gm7
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah
Cm7 Bb F/A F
Everybody wants something, you just want me
[Verse 2]
Bb F/A Gm
Why am I obsessing about the things I can’t control?
Cm7 Bb F/A F
Why am I seeking approval from people I don’t even know?
Bb F/A Gm7
In these crazy times I hope I can find something I can cling onto
Cm7 Bb F/A F
‘Cause I need some substance in my life, something real, something that feels true
[Refrain]
Bb Am7-5 Ebdim7/A
You better believe for you I’ve cried (I’ve cried, I’ve cried)
Gm Fsus4
High tides (High tides, high tides)
Cm7 Fsus4
Cause I want you so bad, but you can’t fight fire with fire
[Chorus 1]
Bb F/A Gm7
So I hope I learn to get over myself
Cm7 Bb F/A F
Stop trying to be somebody else
Bb F/A Gm7
So we can love each other for free
Cm7 Bb F/A F
Everybody wants something, you just want me
[Bridge]
Bb F/A Gm
Listen, I know how low I can go, I give as good as I get
Cm Bb F/A F
You get the brunt of it all ‘cause you’re all I’ve got left
Bb F/A Gm
Oh, I hope in time (Hope in time) we both will find (We’ll both find) peace of mind
Cm7 Bb F/A F
Sometimes the road less traveled is the road best left behind
[Chorus 1]
Bb F7/A Gm7
So I hope I learn to get over myself
Cm7 Bb F/A F
Stop trying to be somebody else
Bb F7/A Gm7
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah
Cm7 Bb F/A F
Everybody wants something, you just want me
[Refrain]
Bb F/A
You better believe I’m trying (Trying, trying)
Gm7
To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing)
Cm7 Bb F/A F/G F Eb Bb
But the higher we climb feels like we’re both none the wiser
