Verse 1:
G                               C  Em
These simple phrases keep me up at night
Em
What a waste of time I spend
         C                C
Worrying about the future
G
And it's up to me
             C             Em
To face the gravity of my situation
    D         Em
And love will conquer the destined hatred
C
That I always choose
 
Pre-Chorus:
Em
Why's it gotta be like this?
      D
Cause it always ends up like it
 
Chorus:
D            C        Em
Oh and now I spent my life
   D             G
On another empty lie
G               C     Em
What about the other times
Em          D     G
That I felt so in control?
G   C     Em
And inconsistency
Em             D      G
Is taking over all of me
G                C       Em
And everything I need to be
Em    D              G
Is so far from who I am
 
Verse 2:
G                     C Em
I must confess; I'm a human
Em           D       Em              C
There's only so much I can do before I explode
  G           C           Em
I know, I'm a mess at the moment
Em
But so is the ocean
       C
And it still makes waves
 
Pre-Chorus:
     Em
I'll keep on moving on,
    D
But I'm really not moving on
 
Chorus:
 
D            C        Em
Oh and now I spent my life
   D             G
On another empty lie
G               C     Em
What about the other times
Em          D     G
That I felt so in control?
G   C     Em
And inconsistency
Em             D      G
Is taking over all of me
G                C       Em
And everything I need to be
Em    D              G
Is so far from who I am
 C     Em            D G
-Spent my life on an empty lie
     C      Em       D      G
I'll let it go, just let it go
C     Em            D G
Spent my life on an empty lie
     C      Em       D      G
I'll let it go, just let it go-
 
Bridge:
D                Em 
So I'll raise my hands,
       C        G 
To the open sky above
    C          G 
And rejoice in simple love
         D 
From the peace within
      D              Em 
Oh, I always seem to wait
      C           G 
But I never contemplate
       C         G 
On the momentary space
   D 
We call now

What about the other times
Em          D     G
That I felt so in control?

And inconsistency

Is so far from who I am
