Capo on 5th. 

  Em         D        C                G 
I think it's time you look at your own face 
Em         D         C               G 
Can't you see you're speaking out of place 
        C                   D 
There's nothing to keep you down 
       Em       D       C              G 
You're reaching for the sky while you drown 
     Em        D         C                     G 
I'm aware that I've been lost, and I've been unkind 
       Em      D       C                    G 
But at least I got the courage to admit the crime 
    C                  D 
So, don't come down on me 
Em         D         C           G 
I'm still young, I'm trying to believe 


Em            C 
Wait, I'll be fine 
      G               D               Em 
Just give me a couple years to say my prayers 
    C      G                    D          Em       C G 
I'm alive, you should keep that mirror for yourself 
           D                   Em C G 
You've got problems you never saw 
            D              Em D C-G 
And I'm the bearer of them all 



Em   D      C                 G 
Everybody's waiting for me to fall 
    Em   D       C                   G 
You criticize my walk as I watch you crawl 
C              D 
Nothing's ever fair 
    Em    D       C           G 
But I believe in reality everywhere 

Em            C 
Wait, I'll be fine 
      G               D               Em 
Just give me a couple years to say my prayers 
    C      G                    D          Em       C G 
I'm alive, you should keep that mirror for yourself 
      D               Em C G 
Everybody's fighting hard 
               D              Em D C-G 
But there's no leader in the dark 

Em   C   G           D                Em 
         Everybody's waiting for a change 
C   G           D  
    Everybody's waiting for... 


Em            C 
Wait, I'll be fine 
      G               D               Em 
Just give me a couple years to say my prayers 
    C      G                    D          Em       C  
I'm alive, you should keep that mirror for yourself 
G                    D          Em       C    G   D 
You should keep that mirror for yourself 


            Em          C         G 
Everybody's waiting for something better 
D           Em         C         G 
Everybody's peeking behind that door 
D              Em            C         G 
If you try too hard you will never find it 
D           Em          C         G 
Everybody's waiting for something more 
D                Em        C       G 
There is so much danger in wanting more...
