Intro: Dm  Bb F  C

Verse:
Dm               Bb    
   I tried to be perfect
                F
But nothing was worth it
          C                 Dm
I don’t believe it makes me real
                  Bb    
I thought it'd be easy
              F
But no one believes me
        C                Bb    
I meant all the things I said

Chorus:
                          F
If you believe it’s in my soul
        C                    Bb    
I’d say all the words that I know
                        F
Just to see if it would show
         C                 Bb -ring-
That I’m trying to let you know
                          Dm
That I’m better off on my own

Interlude: Bb   F   C

Verse:
Dm                  Bb    
   This place is so empty
                   F
My thoughts are so tempting
             C             Dm
I don’t know how it got so bad
                  Bb    
Sometimes it’s so crazy
                 F
That nothing can save me
             C                 Bb    
But it’s the only thing that I have

Chorus:
                          F
If you believe it’s in my soul
        C                    Bb    
I’d say all the words that I know
                        F
Just to see if it would show
         C                 Bb -ring-
That I’m trying to let you know
                          Dm
That I’m better off on my own

Verse: 
Dm               Bb    
   I tried to be perfect
               F
It just wasn’t worth it
              C          Dm
Nothing could ever be so wrong
                Bb    
It’s hard to believe me
              F
It never gets easy
          C             Bb    
I guess I knew that all along

Chorus:
                          F
If you believe it’s in my soul
        C                    Bb    
I’d say all the words that I know
                        F
Just to see if it would show
         C                 Bb -ring-
That I’m trying to let you know
                          F -ring-
That I’m better off on my own
