Letters

N.C. I was alone inside my head N.C. I put my pain into my pen N.C. This music’s hard to share so get to know me through these letters Dm C Bb A Dear classmates Dm If you found this letter It means I left it sitting on your desk C My band followed your account on Instagram You never followed back? Bb I’m the guy across the row A Hiding underneath his hat You didn’t even know I made the music Dm And matter of fact I’m the last person in the world you would expect to rap C Walk in class, always last, music in my ears on blast Bb You thought I was socially uncomfortable or really deaf A You didn’t know the beat filling my ears was just my next attack Dm I’m the kid that you ignore because I always dress depressed C Unless you met me sweatin’ playing covers on the street you passed Bb You didn’t throw your money in the case; Guess I sounded bad? A You say I never gave my name, but tell me did you ever ask? Dm This music is my life’s story Turn the page to get to know me C Skip the song, oh, was I boring? Spill my guts, was that too gory? Bb I just thought that you might like to know what’s going on inside A I bet I see you follow back when I get home, you’re on that hype Dm I guess to end this letter I’ll just say that you should light a candle C My thoughts tend to get a little dark Bb A Sincerely, Daniel Dm I was alone inside my head C I put my pain into my pen Bb C This music’s hard to share so get to know me through these letters Dm Alone inside my head C Put my pain into my pen Bb C this music's hard to share so get to know me through these letters Dm C Bb A Dear teachers Dm If you found this letter You’re probably surprised to hear my story C I seem happy I seem friendly Seems to you I’m doing ok Bb Then I linked you up to listen to my demos A And you thought it was cute I recorded on a potato Dm But then you saw the numbers You’re like, “Wait a minute this kid’s got support! C His friends and family paying dollars Selling demos out the door! Bb Let me take another listen Didn’t hear those words before!” A You can’t believe that this is the same kid that just walked out your door Dm But this when you realize that your student’s got a lot of problems C Kinda sounds depressed, and really stressed, and sorta like he’s fallen Bb Off the edge “I think maybe I’ll call him A First, lemme go home so I can finish off the album Dm But wait, that last song? It sounds like he’s got it figured out! C I always knew he followed God, I didn’t know he’d been through Hell Bb But look he got there! It seems to me he’s doing ok now!” A Just wait the songs won’t ever end, got 53 more written down Dm So Miss or Mister You’ve reached the end and now you finally know me C Will you still subscribe? Or were my songs a little too informing? Bb If they were then I won’t blame you if I see that you hit cancel A Now I’m walking out that door again Sincerely, Daniel Dm I was alone inside my head C I put my pain into my pen Bb C This music’s hard to share so get to know me through these letters Dm Alone inside my head C Put my pain into my pen Bb C this music's hard to share so get to know me through these letters Dm C Bb A Dear Daniel Dm If you found this letter It means that we’re still tryna understand C God gives us trials, gets us through them, then we do it all again Bb And in the future, I guess I’m still tryna make amends A I listen to this track because I need to hear what I once said Dm No one gets us, we’re unique, there’s no one else inside our head C So when we’re sick and need the cure there’s only one place we can get it Bb Look at your wrist and read that verse and don’t you dare forget A That all the pain and hurt are preparation for what lies ahead Dm We started out depressed but God gave us a purpose C And even when we felt lost He showed us where the church was Bb When we had to change, He gave us strength to do it A We needed to express, that’s when He gave us all our music Dm If you’re reading this it means you still remember Walking down those halls empty and hallow C Couldn’t swallow that you’d have to see tomorrow Bb But what followed was the peace amidst the sorrow A When you saw that really God was reaching his arms out to help us breathe it all out Dm Maybe you played this track because you think you’re there again C And if it’s true I think you need to k**l the dark you’re living in Bb We did it once and did it twice and over and over again A So run it back and do the very same thing that we always did Dm I hope it helped Going back in time C But in my own experience it hurts when we rewind Bb But I can promise what I said is true F And that you can trust me C Sincerely, You Dm I was alone inside my head C I put my pain into my pen Bb C This music’s hard to share so get to know me through these letters Dm Alone inside my head C Put my pain into my pen Bb C this music's hard to share so get to know me through these letters Dm C Bb A
