Intro: D Dmaj7 D7 Em A

Verse 1:
D Dmaj7                   D7
  Used to be held captive by my fears
                           Em
Shackles on my wrists like souvenirs

Lost myself in any thing
A
Couldn't see the ending through my tears
D Dmaj7                      D7
  Used to hold my tongue and play along
                         Em
Only knew that I had to be strong

Lost my own identity
A
Didn't know what in my world was wrong

Chorus:
D            Dmaj7
Sugar-coated all my pain
D7                             Em                      A
Couldn't help it, I was just a kid then, begging for a break
        D               Dmaj7       D7
Now I'm twenty, pushing twenty-one, hoping that I'll be someone
Em                        A
Running from the person I created when I had no one
D              Dmaj7      D7
Twenty pushing anxiously, hoping that I'll be happy
Em                             A
Writing to the person I wanna be
               D  Dmaj7 D7
In a letter to me
               Em  A
In a letter to me

Verse 2:
D       Dmaj7               D7
 So I'm done letting myself bleed
                           Em
In a spiral of my own self-pity
                                    A
I'm done searchin' for remedies and people who don't care about me
D                 Dmaj7                     D7
  Yeah, there's a lot of things I don't know (Don't know, don't know)
                          Em                    A
But I know that I'm on my way to finally bein' okay, alone

Chorus:
        D             Dmaj7
No more sugar-coatin' all my pain (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
D7                             Em                 A
Couldn't help it, I was just a kid, begging for a break (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
        D               Dmaj7       D7
Now I'm twenty, pushing twenty-one, hoping that I'll be someone (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Em                        A
Running from the person I created when I had no one (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
D              Dmaj7      D7
Twenty pushing anxiously, hoping that I'll be happy (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Em                             A
Writing to the person I wanna be (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
               D       Dmaj7 D7
In a letter to me (Ah, ah,   ah, ah)
               Em              A
In a letter to me (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
