G | C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |

CM7no3 | A7 |
CM7no3And there’s | A7no point in responding |
| C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |

G | C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |
GThat he | C6no3would have | CM7no3been much | C6no3prouder |
CM7no3 | A7 |
CM7no3If he | A7saw me shake these insults off |
| C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |

But you | C6no3have to come inside to see me |
A7 |
A7Otherwise you’re only hating |
C6no3 |
C6no3Other people’s low-res copies |
Gsus2 | G | Gsus2 | G |

You’d | Gsus2think I’d | Glearn my | Gsus2lesson |
G | C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |
GFrom the | C6no3way they | CM7no3keep on | C6no3testing |
CM7no3 | A7 | A9 | A7 |
CM7no3My | A7capaci | A9ty for | A7pain |

And | A9my re | C6no3solve to | CM7no3not get | C6no3vio | CM7no3lent |
| Gsus2 | G | Gsus2 |
But | Gsus2though my | Gskin is | Gsus2thickened |
G | C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |
GCertain | C6no3spots can | CM7no3still be | C6no3gotten |
CM7no3 | A7 | A9 | A7 | A9 |
CM7no3It is | A7typi | A9cally | A7human | A9of me |
C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 | CM7no3 |
C6no3Thinking | CM7no3I am | C6no3diffe | CM7no3rent |
| Gsus2 | G | Gsus2 | G | C6no3 |
To | Gsus2friends hooked | Gup to | Gsus2hospi | Gtal ma | C6no3chines |
| CM7no3 | C6no3 |
To | CM7no3fix their | C6no3cancer |
CM7no3 | A7 | A9 | A7 | A9 |
CM7no3And there | A7is no | A9better | A7place than | A9from this |
C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |
C6no3Waiting | CM7no3room to | C6no3answer |
CM7no3 | Gsus2 | G | Gsus2 |
CM7no3The French | Gsus2kid who | Gsent an | Gsus2e-mail |
G | C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |
GTo the | C6no3website | CM7no3late last | C6no3night |
| CM7no3 | A7 | A9 | A7 |
His | CM7no3father | A7raped him | A9and he’s | A7scared |
| A9 | C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |
He | A9asked me | C6no3How do | CM7no3you keep | C6no3fighting? |
CM7no3 | Gsus2 | G | Gsus2 |
CM7no3And the | Gsus2truth is | GI don’t | Gsus2know |

I | Gthink it’s | C6no3funny | CM7no3that he | C6no3asked me |
CM7no3 | A7 | A9 | A7 | A9 |
CM7no3Cause I | A7don’t feel | A9like a | A7fighter | A9lately |
C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |
C6no3I am | CM7no3too | C6no3unhappy |
| A7 |
You are | A7bigger on the inside |
| C6no3 |
But your | C6no3father cannot see |
| A7 |
You need to | A7tell someone be strong |
| C6no3 |
And somewhere | C6no3some dumb rock star truly loves you |
Gsus2 | G | Gsus2 | G |
Gsus2 | G | Gsus2 | G |
| Gsus2 | G | Gsus2 |
You’d | Gsus2think I’d | Gget per | Gsus2spective |
G | C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |
GFrom my | C6no3view here | CM7no3by the | C6no3bedside |
CM7no3 | A7 | A9 | A7 | A9 | C6no3 |
CM7no3It is | A7difficult | A9to | A7see the | A9ones I | C6no3love |
| CM7no3 | C6no3 |
So | CM7no3close to | C6no3death |
| CM7no3 | Gsus2 | G | Gsus2 |
All | CM7no3their in | Gsus2fections | Gand pro | Gsus2scriptions |
G | C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 | CM7no3 |
GAnd the | C6no3will to | CM7no3live at | C6no3all in | CM7no3question |
A7 | A9 | A7 | A9 | C6no3 |
A7Can I | A9not ac | A7cept that | A9my own | C6no3problems |
CM7no3 | C6no3 |
CM7no3Are so | C6no3small |
| CM7no3 | Gsus2 | G | Gsus2 |
You | CM7no3took my | Gsus2hand when | Gyou woke | Gsus2up |
| G | C6no3 | CM7no3 | C6no3 |
I | Ghad been | C6no3crying | CM7no3in the | C6no3darkness |
CM7no3 | A7 | A9 | A7 | A9 | C6no3 |
CM7no3We all | A7die a | A9lone but | A7I am | A9so, so | C6no3glad |
| CM7no3 | C6no3 |
That | CM7no3you are | C6no3here |
| CM7no3 |
You | CM7no3whispered: |
| A7 | C6no3 |
" | A7We are so much bigger on the | C6no3inside, |
A7 | C6no3 |
A7Some day when you’re lying where I | C6no3am |
A7 |
A7We are so much bigger |
| C6no3 |
Than a | C6no3nother one can ever see |
| A7 |
But | A7Trying is the point of life |
| C6no3 |
So | C6no3don’t stop trying |
