Verse 1:
   C#
It’s hard to make yourself believe
   F#            Gdim
That it’ll get better when you?feel?defeated
  C#               F#
And carrying on?is easier said than done
     C#
It took?a while to see that I was in need
  F#         Gdim
Of help from somebody else but she keeps
  C#               F#
Reminding me that I’m not the only one


Pre-Chorus:
     F                 F#
And babe, I woulda told you this was gonna happen
            C#
If I had known that it would
        F#              F     F#
But now there’s less time and more things that I need to say

And I’m afraid


Chorus:
        C#     F         F#
That there will always be a part of me that’s holding on
  D#         G#
And still believes that everything is fine
       G#
And that I’m living a normal life
  C#       F
But until somebody sits me down
  F#        D#
And tells me that I’m different now
   G#             C#
I’ll always be the way I always am

Oh, oh


Refrain:
C#  F  F#  D#
 Ooh-ooh, ooh (Yeah)
C#     F    F#
 Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh


Verse 2:
  C#
My apologies, it’s such a shame
 F#        Gdim
I never planned to feel this way
    C#          F         F#
But the more that I try, the more I’m seeing a difference

I’m not gonna lie


Bridge:
         D#m
And now I get to sit down
G#         C#          D#m
 And I’m happy to admit now, I’m on my way
         D#m
It seems I’m not invincible
G#    C#
 But I’m bored of the pain and I need to explain


Chorus:
        C#     F         F#
Yeah, there will always be a part of me that’s holding on
  D#         G#
And still believes that everything is fine
       G#
And that I’m living a normal life
  C#       F
But until somebody sits me down
  F#        D#
And tells me why I’m different now
   G#             C#
I’ll always be the way I always am

yeah, yeah, ah-hah
