[Intro]
Em

[Verse 1]
C                            Em
Can I walk any steadier
D                                       Bm
Than I do right now
C                                       Em
If you ask if I’m ready sure
D
I was told just how

Bm                                                          C
Cause you gotta be like the others, don’t run for cover
Em                                       D
Don’t be all soft be strong like your brother

Why do I bother, be a good son a good daughter

[Bridge]
Am
We don’t cry for nothing
G                                       C
We were all built for something
Am
Broken bones still you’re running
G                                       D
I know you’re breaking down

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                                       C                    G
If you were a robot, I’d change your parts
Am                    Em                    C                    G
If you were a movie, I’d change the plot
Am                    Em                    C                    G
But you’re not a robot, you’ve got a heart
Am                    Em                    C                         G
And though it feels heavy, that’s where we’ll start

[Chorus]
Em                                       C                    G
So I’ll sit with you until you fall asleep
Am                    Em                       C       G
Because the world is way too loud
Am                    Em                    C                    G
Stay close to you if that is what you need
Am                    Em                    C                    G
You say the world is way too loud, I’ll shut it up

[Verse 2]
Am                                       C                                       Em
Tough crowd, knocked down, and you feel the dirt
D
What you gonna do oh
C                                       Em
It feels etched on your skin it hurts
D
Like a bad tattoo

G                                                          C
Then you gotta breathe till it’s over, rest till you’re sober
Em                                                          D
You were far out now you’re getting closer

Come rain what follows, after tonight comes tomorrow

[Bridge]
Bm                                       Am
We don’t cry for nothing
G C
We were all built for something
Bm                                       Am
Broken bones still you’re running
G                                                          D
I know you’re breaking down

[Chorus]
Em                    C                    G
So I’ll sit with you until you fall asleep
Am                    Em                    C     G
Because the world is way too loud
Am                    Em                    C                    G
Stay close to you if that is what you need
Am                    Em                    C                    G
You say the world is way too loud, I’ll shut it up

[Pre-Chorus]
C                                                          D
If you were a robot, I’d change your parts
Em                                       G
If you were a movie, I’d change the plot
C                                                          D
But you’re not a robot, you’ve got a heart
