[Intro]
Bb Dm C Dm Am
[Verse 1]
F Dm Gm
I\’m gonna let you in on a secret, I\’m so afraid
C Dm F
Of letting my skeletons out, so I bottle them in
Dm Am
But I know it\’s gonna get out in the worst way, so I gave in
C Dm F
Now I\’m gonna be an open book for you to read
[Chorus 1]
Dm Bb Am
The longer I stay numb, the longer I don\’t have to think much
C Dm F
I never have to think about my father and how he walked out on us
Dm Bb
How I barely know my mother, for that I\’m ashamed
C Dm Am F
Afraid of what they think of me, so I stay away
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb Gm
Let\’s make a pact right here, right now
[Chorus 2]
C Dm F
You keep your hopes up that I can change
C Dm F
Well I stay honest, you do the same
Bb F
I\’ll keep my purpose, you keep your faith
C Dm
That we can get through this
Am
These tougher days
F Bb
These tougher days
Dm Bb C Dm F
[Verse 2]
Am Bb
I always felt that you won\’t understand
C
So I bled out quietly
Dm
The medicine held my hand
Am
And made me feel like I can stand up
Bb
The toll it\’s taking on my chest now
C
Bridges burning and chances left out
Dm
List of things that I regret now
Am
Build up this resentment
[Chorus 1]
Gm Dm
The longer I stay numb, the longer I don\’t have to think much
C Dm F
Never have to think about my father and how he walked out on us

How I barely know my mother, for that I\’m ashamed
C Dm Am
Afraid of what they think of me, so I stay away
[Chorus 2]
F Bb
You keep your hopes up that I can change

Well I stay honest, you do the same

I\’ll keep my purpose, you keep your faith

That we can get through this
