Verse:
E
I'm polite when I wake
               Dbm
And when I get upset

Keep a smile on my face
                  A
And a bomb in my chest

And it hurts how much I want
            B
What I give away

E
Fly like a heartbeat above the ground
                             Dbm
Just enough so I can tune You Out

And the things I don't say out loud
                              A
Are like cobwebs in a haunted house
                           A
And I can't eat, and I don't sleep
             B
I just dream awake

Til I splash the water on my face

Chorus:
            A
Yeah, I was supposed to cling on to every word you said
B
But I'm nothing like your mother
A
Yeah, you were supposed to lose your head
B
But you're nothing like my father
A
I couldn't live up to the bar you set
B
I'm doing my best, but you're never impressed
A
I never know what you expect
B                                      E
I'm banging my head tryna guess, guess, guess

Verse:
E                       Dbm
I'm wasting my breath on you
                              A
Pouring myself out to get shut down

'Cause nothing works like it used to
                                 B
And we don't feel like we used to feel

I want you to fight me

I need it to hurt to know that it's real

Chorus:
            A
Yeah, I was supposed to cling on to every word you said
B
But I'm nothing like your mother
A
Yeah, you were supposed to lose your head
B
But you're nothing like my father
A
I couldn't live up to the bar you set
B
I'm doing my best, but you're never impressed
A
I never know what you expect
B
I'm banging my head tryna guess, guess, guess

Bridge:
Dbm
All of me (All of me)
B
Is tearing myself down
Dbm
Am I in trouble now? (Trouble now)
B
Fighting it all out
Dbm
And, baby, it's all of me (All of me)
B
Pouring it all out

Outro:
                         A                          B
'Cause I was supposed to cling on to every word you said
                       A                     B
I was supposed to cling on to every word you said
E
Guess, guess, guess
