[Verse 1]
Amaj7
I’ve ran away for miles
G#7                                  Amaj7
It’s gettin’ hard for me to breathe
G#7                         G#7                         G#7                         Amaj7
‘Cause the man that I’ve been runnin’ from is inside of me
G#7                         Amaj7
I tell him keep it quiet
G#7                         Amaj7
So hardly does he speak
G#7                                     G#7
‘Cause he wants to keep his distance
G#7                         Amaj7
But it’s hard for him to leave
G#7                         Amaj7
He knows I hear him cryin’

G#7             Amaj7
Cryin’ out for help
G#7                          G#7
I don’t know how to save him
G#7                          Amaj7
I can’t even save myself
G#7                         Amaj7
There’s many people dyin’
G#7                         Amaj7
I’ve always been afraid
G#7                                     G#7
Not that I’m scared of livin’
G#7                         Amaj7
I’m scared of feeling pain

[Chorus]
Amaj7                         G#7             Amaj7             G#7
I don’t need another hand, I need a couple suggestions
G#7                                     Amaj7
Always had a little trouble with self-reflections
Amaj7                         G#7             Amaj7                         G#7
Now, does my raw emotion make me less of a man? Hmm
G#7                                                 Amaj7
Always had a little trouble with self-reflections

[Verse 2]
Amaj7
I’ve been so used to winnin’
G#7                         Amaj7
It was hard for me to lose
G#7                                     G#7
No, there’s nothing wrong with me
G#7                                                 Amaj7
Is there something wrong with you?
G#7                         Amaj7
So I’ve been making changes
G#7                                     Amaj7
Been workin’ on my health
G#7                         G#7
No more competition
Can’t compete against myself, no, no, no

Amaj7                         G#7
I’m not doin’ this to be loved, no, no
Amaj7                                     G#7
I’ve been doin’ this to be remembered
G#7
Let the people hear it if they want to
Amaj7
Help the one’s around me get it on, too
Amaj7             G#7                         Amaj7
If I die tomorrow and I’m gone, I’m gone
G#7                         G#7
Let the blood run high
G#7                         Amaj7
Let the carpets drown
I’ll be forever now

[Chorus]
Amaj7             G#7             Amaj7                         G#7
I don’t need another hand, I need a couple suggestions

Always had a little trouble with self-reflections
Amaj7                         G#7                         Amaj7                         G#7
Now, does my raw emotion make me less of a man? Hmm
G#7                                                                    Amaj7
Always had a little trouble with self-reflections

[Outro]
Amaj7
Let this be a promise
G#7                         Amaj7
That when it’s said and done
G#7                                     G#7
Be a flower in the garden
Amaj7
Be one with the sun
Amaj7
Be one with the sun
G#7             Amaj7
Be one with the sun
G#7                         G#7
Be one with the sun
