Intro: E D G
C(Hold it)
G(Hold it, too)
The fountain was off.
This is the [G]first time I've been back to the city in mon[C]ths.
I'm trying to hold it together but i[G]rony's found cracks in the foundation.
C(Hold it)
And you know,
[G]I try so hard to be some great white hope
[E]But I[C] can'[G]t sh[D]ak[G]e t[D]he f[G]eeling that tonight I'm gonna end up shaking in bed alone.
Chorus:
[E]I'm not a self-help [D]book; I'm just a fucked up kid.
[G]I had to take my own advice and I [E]did.
[D]Now I'm waiting for it[G] to sink in.
[E]Expect me s[D]tanding tall, [G]back against the wall, 'cause what I learned was
[E]It's not about [D]forcing happiness;
[G]It's about not letting the sadness win.
[C] [G] [C] [G]
[C]I don't have roses in the closet
But I'[G]ve got pictures in a drawer
It's e[C]verything left in me
Not to [G]stare at them anymore.
I [C]walked upstairs and shaved my [G]beard.
I felt like [C]I was holding sadness here
[G](I was holding sadness here)

Chorus:
[E]I'm not a self-help [D]book; I'm just a fucked up kid.
[G]I had to take my own advice and I [E]did.

(You can hold these out if you wish)

But I'[G]ve got pictures in a drawer
It's e[C]verything left in me
Not to [G]stare at them anymore.
