I'd noticed no one had bothered to tab any of her new album yet, so here's my addition.
Be nice, it's my first tab!

If you listen to the album version, there's no recognizable strumming pattern, however this
version is meant to be played accoustically. You can just strum the chords, but I recommend you make
a quiet finger-picking pattern for the first verse and then strum starting with the chorus. Just
do what feels right to the mood of the song.
Intro
[D] [D]
Verse I
[D]Why no one will [A]help me
I'm [G]too dumb I'm[A] too smart
[D]They'll not unde[A]rstand me
I am[G] lonely they[A]'ll hate me
And [D]there is not enoug[A]h time
It's[G] too hard to[A] help me
And [D]god wants me to [A]work
No resti[G]ng no [A]lazy
Chorus I
[D]These excu[A]ses how they s[Gm]erved me so [D]well
They've kept me [Gm]safe
They've kept me [D]stoic
They've kept me [Cm]locked in my own [D]cell
Verse II
[D]I'm too far from[A] home
It takes[G] far too much [A]energy
And [D]I cannot aff[A]ord to
No one [G]will ever[A] see me
Chorus I
Chorus II
[D]These ex[A]cuses how they'r[Gm]e so fami[D]liar
They've kept me [Gm]blocked
They've kept me [D]small
They've kept me [Cm]safe inside my s[D]hell
Bridge
[C]Bringing this into[G] the light
Shakes thei[D]r foundation
And it[A] clears my side
[C]Now my imagi[G]nation
Is the o[D]nly thing that limits
The [A]bar that is raised to the [C]heights
Verse III
[D]No one can have it [A]all see
I [G]have to they w[A]ant me to
And [D]I can't let them[A] down
I'll ne[G]ver be [A]happy
Chorus I
