Safer

Em C Em C Em C I know that I have issues, I face them, I swear Em C Think I overcome them then turn they're still there Em C Wish that I was different, I'd like to let go Em C But when I try to change there's my past saying no D C Maybe it's all 'cause of dad, his new kids, his new wife D C D Or why not just blame mom, who's been nuts my whole life... Em C When you've felt so alone since the moment of birth Em C And you've struggled to find your own true sense of worth Em C When it seems there is no one across this whole earth Em C To depend upon you carry on Em D C Just like you always do Em C Em 'Cause it's safer to rely on you C D Oh, it's safer to rely on you. Em C Em C Em C Seen a million movies all selling true love Em C Fantasies I'm not sure that I'm worthy of Em C Caution to the wind my heart's been on display Em C Still the end result is it's not gone my way D C So when I date some new guy who's a deadbeat or jerk D C D At least I'm not so crushed when it all doesn't work... Em C When you once, unafraid wore your heart on your sleeve Em C And the ones that you loved chose to just turn and leave Em C Every day it gets harder to somehow believe Em C You will survive so you strive Em D C Just to keep up your guard Em C Em 'Cause it's safer to hold every card C D Em Oh, it's safer to hold every card. D D D D I feel out of control C G I feel safe on the ground D D D D I go building up walls C G Yet I wish to be found B C A true contradiction to which I am bound Em C As I keep on spinning around and around (Key Change) Fm Db And I look at the people who've worked it all out Fm Db And I wonder why I'm still a bundle of doubt Fm Db And sometimes I wanna just stand up and shout Fm Db Just commit and deal with it Post Chorus Fm Eb Db Before your life flies by Fm Eb Db Don't let your life fly by... N.C. Fm* Db* But is it safer? Eb* Db Maybe it's safer N.C. Fm Db If I don't ... try. Ab
