         G                         D                    Em 
How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes? 
             C                          G                    D 
How come we both become a version of a person we don't even like? 
          G                           D                          Em 
We're in love with the world but the world just wants to bring us down 
             C                      G                    D 
By puttin' ideas in our heads to corrupt our hearts somehow 
 G                         D                       Em 
When I was a child every single thing could blow my mind 
           C                   G                  D 
Soaking it all up for fun but now I only soak up wine 
             G                              D                Em 
They say to play hard, you work hard, find balance in the sacrifice 
                 C                  G          D 
And yet I don't know anybody who's truly satisfied
[Interlude]
                        G           B7 
You better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying) 
         Em                     D 
To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing) 
          C                                             D 
But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
[Refrain]
              G           D      Em 
So I hope I learn to get over myself 
               C   G        D 
Stop trying to be somebody else 
            G        D         Em 
So we can love each other for free 
                  C         G            D 
Everybody wants something, you just want me
[Strophe]
            G                  D               Em 
Why am I obsessing about the things I can't control? 
           C                    G                   D 
Why am I seeking approval from people I don't even know? 
           G                       D                          Em 
In these crazy times I hope I can find something I can cling onto 
                     C                              G                          D 
'Cause I need some substance in my life, something real, something that feels true
[Pre-Refrain]
                        G           B7 
You better believe for you I've cried (I've cried, I've cried) 
      Em  D 
High tides (High tides, high tides) 
          C                                             D 
'Cause I want you so bad but you can't fight fire with fire
[Refrain]
           G           D      Em 
I hope I learn to get over myself 
               C   G        D 
Stop trying to be somebody else 
                     G        D            Em 
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free 
                           C               G            D 
'Cause everybody wants something from me, you just want me
[Pont]
           G                     D                 Em 
Listen, I know how low I can go, I give as good as I get 
 C                       G                              D 
You get the brunt of it all 'cause you're all I've got left 
       G                              D                                         Em 
Oh, I hope in time (Hope in time) we both will find (We'll both find) peace of mind 
               C                         G               D 
Sometimes the road less traveled is the road best left behind
[Refrain]
               G           D      Em 
Oh, I hope I learn to get over myself 
               C   G        D 
Stop trying to be somebody else 
                     G        D            Em 
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah 
                  C         G            D 
Everybody wants something, you just want me
[Interlude]
                        G 
You better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying) 
D          Em 
 To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing) 
          C                    G                        D    C  G 
But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
