Am F C G
Try your worst, 'cause i've heard it all
Am F C G
and just stuck on a brave face and tried to walk tall
Am F C G
and you can tell me that i've changed when you can look me in the eye
Am F C G
i've got tricks up my sleeveas I wave goodbye

PRECHORUS
F G
I like to think that I am stronger now than I was before
F G
but now I'm having trouble showing you the door

CHORUS
Am F C G
And ohhhh
Am F C G
i'm on my road
Am F C G
i've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand
Am F C G
and now I'm here picking my pieces off the ground

Am F C G
we need to get the negativity slack and let the positivity back
Am F F G
I need a smile that isn't fake
Am F C G
but i'ma need your help for goodness' sake,
Am F C G
your help

Am F
I'm sick of being a drifter,
C G
being a floater, go-away-and-get-the-boat-er
Am F C G
no one wants you here, why can't you see
Am F C G
I was living life through someone else's eyes but now I'm finally back to me

Am F C G

(prechorus)
(chorus)


BRIDGE
Am F G
the ground you stand on
Am F G
the ground that looks you in the eye
Am F G
the ground you stand on
Am F G
the ground that you will just walk by

(chorus)
