Intro -x2-: Gadd9   D

Verse 1:
Gadd9                                       D
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you

But I can't really find
Gadd9                                           D
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes

And sort them in my mind
Gadd9                                   D
The negative thoughts go on the left

And the happy things on the right
Gadd9                                            D
And there's a little corner saved just for you
Bm                                    Gadd9
Please let me know if you change your mind

Cause inside I'm falling
D                                     A
And I need you to pull me out of this decline
Bm                    Gadd9
I realise how hard on you this must seem

But trust me
       D                          A
When I say its far, far worse for me

Chorus:
D                              Gadd9
Please, please be here for me dear

Cause I've never needed a friend more
    Bm                               Gadd9
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
D                                     Gadd9
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
                 Bm
Cause I've never hated myself more
                   Gadd9
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying

Interlude -x2-: D     Gadd9

Verse 2:
Gadd9                                  D
Give me a moment to get my cards in line

Cause I'm still trying to figure out
Gadd9                                       D
In what kind of order I should set them out
Gadd9                         D
If there was a way to explain everything without a word
Gadd9                                           D
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt
Bm                                        Gadd9
I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes
                                    D
But a part of me wants to let you be               
                                      A
Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become
Bm                                        Gadd9
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out

It's like we're in a dream state
          D                                  A
But I should've woken up, woken up by now

Chorus:
D                              Gadd9
Please, please be here for me dear

Cause I've never needed a friend more
    Bm                               Gadd9
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
D                                     Gadd9
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
                 Bm
Cause I've never hated myself more
                   Gadd9
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
