Verse 1:
  Dmaj7                 A7
I like it when you take the reigns
   Dmaj7                 A7
It's easier than playing games
   Dmaj7                   A7
I've come to appreciate a direct exchange

Chorus:
Em7                 A7
I'm stronger now that I'm softer too
Em7
I'm older now
         A7
But feel younger than when I
Dmaj7                  G
Pretended to know everything
Dmaj7                        G
Wanted to win rather than learn something
A7          G
I'm glad I stayed myself
Dmaj7                     G
Even when I wanted to be someone else

Dmaj7   A7   Dmaj7  A7
Ahhh Ahhhh

Verse 2:
Dmaj7                    A7
I didn't listen with my gut and it shows
Dmaj7
I could never get too close
A7
Had all my walls up

Chorus:
Em7                      A7
But I am more than my defenses
I'll break them all down
Em7                 A7
I've made promises to myself and I intend to keep them
Dmaj7          G
I deserve my honesty
Dmaj7           G
How sweet it could be
Dmaj7            G
If I could love myself
Dmaj7                       G
Even when I wanted to be someone else

Outro:
Dmaj7   A7   Dmaj7   A7
Ahhh Ahhhh
Em   A7  Em   A7
Ahhhh Ahhh
Dmaj7   G   Dmaj7   G
Ahhhh Ahhhh
