Am F C G
try your worst , ’cause i’ve heard it all
Am F C G
and just stuck on a brave face and tried to walk tall
Am F C G
and you can tell me that i’ve changed when you can look me in the eye
Am F C G
i’ve got tricks up my sleeveas i wave goodbye

prechorus
F G
i like to think that i Am stronger now than i was before
F G
but now i’m having trouble showing you the door

chorus
Am F C G
and ohhhh
Am F C G
i’m on my road
Am F C G
i’ve got my map in hand but i just don’t know where i stand
Am F C G
and now i’m here picking my pieces off the ground

Am F C G
we need to get the negativity slack and let the positivity back
Am F F G
i need a smile that isn’t fake
Am F C G
but i’ma need your help for goodness’ sake ,
Am F C G
your help

Am F
i’m sick of being a drifter ,
C G
being a floater , go – away – and – get – the – boat – er
Am F C G
no one wants you here , why can’t you see
Am F C G
i was living life through someone else’s eyes but now i’m finally back to me

Am F C G

( prechorus )
( chorus )

bridge
Am F G
the ground you stand on
Am F G
the ground that looks you in the eye
Am F G
the ground you stand on
Am F G
the ground that you will just walk by

( chorus )
