[Verse 1]
Cm
I’m about to lose the allusion, my heart
Fm
Pictures I thought that could faint
Bb
Colours I’ve just come along [?]
G
Like it ain’t never gonna be the same
Cm
And I know that I’ve messed up with the chances I got
Fm
All I do is try to make it right
Bb
All I do is try to make it right
G
Guess I’ll do this all my life

[Chorus]

Nothing ever seems to be easy
Bb                         Eb
All I lose down in the rain
Cm                         Fm
I don’t really know how to get there
Bb                                                 Eb
Just tell me ’bout the rules of the game
Cm                                     Fm
Everybody says that I’m dreaming
Bb                                     Eb
But I’m just tryna cope with the pain
Cm                                     Fm
I don’t really care for the rumours
Bb                                                 Eb
Just tell me ’bout the rules of the game

[Verse 2]
Cm
Images of colour giving peace to my heart
Fm
Taking all the doubts from my mind
Bb
Catch your body echo of the words I’ve said—”Please”
G
To let me keep up with the time
Cm
And I hope there’ll be any other chances I get
Fm
And I hope I can take them with the mood that I have
Bb
Anything can make me get in close, but instead
G
Everything is pushing me away
