[Verse 1]
C C GmHow can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes?
G C CHow come we both become a version of a person we don't even like?
C C GmWe're in love with the world but the world just wants to bring us down
G C CBy puttin' ideals in our heads to corrupt our hearts somehow
C C GmWhen I was a child every single thing could blow my mind
G C CSoaking it all up for fun but now I only soak up wine
C C GmThey say to play hard, you work hard, find balance in the sacrifice
G C CAnd yet I don't know anybody who's truly satisfied
[Refrain]
C GdimYou better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying)
Gm CTo keep climbing (Climbing, climbing)
G CBut the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
[Chorus 1]
C C GmSo I hope I learn to get over myself
G C CStop trying to be somebody else
C C GmSo we can love each other for free
G C CEverybody wants something, you just want me
[Verse 2]
C C GmWhy Am I obsessing about the things I can't control?
G C CWhy Am I seeking approval from people I don't even know?
C C GmIn these crazy times I hope I can find something I can cling onto
G C C'Cause I need some substance in my life, something real, something that feels true
[Pre-Chorus]
C GdimYou better believe for you I've cried (I've cried, I've cried)
Gm CHigh tides (High tides, high tides)
G CWant you so bad, but you can't fight fire with fire, Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Chorus 2]
C C GmI hope I learn to get over myself
G C CStop trying to be somebody else
C C GmOh, I just want to love you, love you for free
G C CEverybody wants something, you just want me
[Bridge]
C C GmListen, I know how low I can go, I give as good as I get
G C CYou get the brunt of it all 'cause you're all I've got left
C C GmOh, I hope in time (Hope in time) we both will find (We'll both find) peace of mind
G C CSometimes the road less traveled is the road best left behind
[Chorus 2]
C C GmOh, I hope I learn to get over myself
G C CStop trying to be somebody else
C C GmOh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah
G C CEverybody wants something, you just want me
[Refrain]
CYou better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying)
C Gm To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing)
G C C G CBut the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
