Em C D Em It's hard to be scared of a little thunder
Em C D EmWhen you've spent your whole life waiting in the rain
Em C D EmYou reminisce, just grin, look back and wonder
Em C D EmIf you're ever gonna feel that way again
D Em CYeah, but you sit all at home, you're waiting
D Em CBut I've got a long way to go
D Em CJust hold on 'til the stars start fading
D Em CJust feel like I'm almost home
D Em C EmYeah, there's no tendency that I can see to get you off my mind
Em CI'm just flawed
DNo, I'm just flawed
[Verse 1]
EmSirens went off in his head
CStill half-drunk in a foreign bed
D EmSaid he'd be home after work, but he went to the bar instead
Em CAnd instead of with his wife, he woke up with this new acquaintance
D EmHe met after seven shots and a couple of beers to chase it
Em CBasically he was wasted, but there's always a choice
D EmReason chimed in, but he was ignoring the voice
Em CNow he's throwing on his wrinkled clothes
DAnd he knows when he goes home to that glass house with these old stones
Em CHe gonna put on this mask, kiss her neck and then ask
D Em"How was your night?" before she even has a chance to react
Em CHe'll be fine, it isn't like this is the first time
D EmShit, everybody needs an occasion to unwind
Em CAin't a crime to run away from things occasionally
D EmA way to release, that's just human nature and he
Em CPulled down the driveway, saw his daughter playing on the lawn
DAnd all his rationalization was gone
[Chorus]
Em C D EmI've been trying, but can't deny
Em C D EmThat these things I do, I can't justify
Em C D EmI feel it weighing while I'm by your side
Em CI'm just flawed
DYeah, I'm just flawed
[Verse 2]
Em CHe was greeted with a orange juice and something to eat
D EmAnd a kiss on the cheek, as if he didn't just cheat
Em CFelt that shiver down his neck, that's the feeling of regret
D EmAs she handed him his eggs, smelling whiskey on his breath
Em C DBefore she had the chance to even ask him about last night
Em EmHe said he had some drinks and crashed on the couch at the office
CAll this was just an obvious lie
DAnd she could feel it in her gut, but said nothing as a reply
Em CShe just stared at the man that she'd given everything to
D EmAnd the silence built into tension that enveloped the room
Em C'Til it was broken by the daughter saying
D Em
"Daddy come see this picture that I drew of you and mommy back when you seemed
EmSo much happier
CIs anything wrong? Am I in trouble?"
D Em"No, everything is fine" they said "We both love you"
Em CAnd they both smiled as the moment occurred
DLike they forgot how fucking broken they were
[Chorus]
Em C D EmI've been trying, but can't deny
Em C D EmThat these things I do, I can't justify
Em C D EmI feel it weighing while I'm by your side
Em CI'm just flawed
DYeah, I'm just flawed
[Verse 3]
EmHe stood there in the shower
CWith the steam filling his lungs
D EmAs if the water could wash away all the shit that he'd done
Em CHe let it run, deep in thought about when he was young
D EmGot out and looked in the mirror back at the man he'd become
Em CThen he opened the door to see his wife on the bed
D EmOn the verge of tears, looked him in the eyes and instead
Em COf saying anything, she threw him his phone with a text read
DBut instead of more lies, he just looked at her and said
[Chorus]
Em C D EmI've been trying, but can't deny
Em C D EmThat these things I do, I can't justify
Em C D EmI feel it weighing while I'm by your side
Em CI'm just flawed
DYeah, I'm just flawed
Em C D EmI've been trying, but can't deny
Em C D EmThat these things I do, I can't justify
Em C D EmI feel it weighing while I'm by your side
Em CI'm just flawed
DYeah, I'm just flawed
