Verse 1:
   Ab
My dad told me he hoped that he lived long enough
                 Db
To see me happy again
  Ab
I didn't know what to say to that
                               Db
So all I said back was, "yeah, me too."


         Ab
I wanna smile without hesitations
Absus2
Laugh without any reservations
Db
Say I'm fine and mean it


            Ab
I wanna be happy like I know I should be
    Absus2                   Db
I'm sorry truly my sadness makes you sad too
             Fm             Db
And since I can't happy for me
                     Ab
I wanna be happy for you

Interlude (x2): Ab Caug Fm Ab

Verse 1:
        Ab             Caug    Fm  Ab
People tell me I look happier
    Ab          Caug   Fm Ab
It feels like a lie
                Ab        Caug      Fm   Ab
Maybe I'm just better at hiding it now
          Ab     Caug          Fm         Ab
Or maybe this is what healing feels like

Pre-chorus:
      Eb                     Eb
Maybe all that it is is not knowing what it is
      Db
Until you do it
       Eb                    Eb
I was hurting so bad for so long
                  Db
And then I wasn't before I knew it

Chorus:
              Ab Caug   Fm     Ab
And there was no--- graduation day
   Caug       Fm    Ab
No clear finish line
     Ab  Caug       Fm         Ab
Just me working at healing my hurting
     Ab            Caug         Fm             Ab
And wondering if I'll be method acting for the rest of my life

Interlude (x2): Ab Caug Fm Ab

Verse 2:
        Ab             Caug      Fm   Ab
People tell me I look happier
           Ab         Caug    Fm     Ab
And now I think I do too
       Ab            Caug        Fm       Ab
Either that or I'm a damn good actor
            Ab       Caug    Fm      Ab
Cause even I've got myself fooled

Pre-chorus:
         Eb                                       Db
At some point, I stopped having to pretend to be fine
   Eb
I don't know when it happened
                                  Db
But someday method acting turned into real life

Chorus:
              Ab  Caug   Fm     Ab
And there was no---- graduation day
         Ab              Caug           Fm                Ab
I don't know and I don't care where I crossed the finish line
         Ab          Caug          Fm           Ab
Because healing is learning that healing from hurting
     Ab      Caug     Fm
Was only a matter of time

Outro:
Ab      Fm     Fm7       Eb
It was only a matter of
Ab      Fm     Fm7       Eb
It was only a matter of
Ab      Fm     Fm7       Eb
It was only a matter of
Ab      Fm     Fm7       Eb
It was only a matter of
Ab      Fm     Fm7       Eb
It was only a matter of

Interlude (x3): Ab Caug Fm Ab

       Ab    Caug   Fm
It was only ever a matter of time
