[Intro]
G Am C D7 C#7 D7

[Verse]
                    G
I don’t owe you my heart
                        Am
And I don’t owe you my body
                              D7
But you should know that I’m sorry
                         G  D7
For being careless with you
                       G
Lord knows I owed you more
                             Am
That I’m pretty sure I ever could
give anybody
But I can’t pin down what normal
 D7
people want from foreign objects,
Bottom shelf erotic products,
 G     G7
like me

[Pre-chorus]
   Am
So I could hold your hand but
         D7
keep you at arms’ length, oh,
 Bm
Hang me from a branch too
          Em
high to climb and shake
      Am
Less rare than scarce,
less diamond than rough
   D7
Unlikely to be more than
the coal you failed to crush

[Chorus]
    G                         C
And I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i swear
             G
I’m really trying
          Am
Get it together, Will,
know and do better
                    D7
It just don’t come natural to me
to think that you’d want me for me
G           G7          C
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i swear
             G
I’m really trying
         Am
Oh, I’m sorry, I promise,
I’m doing my best
        D7
I just haven’t learned how
to be human as you are yet

G Am C D7 C#7 D7

[Verse]
                           G
I still don’t know who you are
                           Am
I only know that I’m still lonely
That morbid sort where
      D7
even company can’t cure me
And the more you reassure
             G
the less I trust
                            G
But still you gave me your heart
                    Am
I only gave you my body
                           D7
Honestly thought nobody’d want it
Let alone notice it’s gone and so I
                  G              G7
left it home but now, now, now, now

[Pre-chorus]
          Am
I keep a locket with a picture
        D7
on the back of my head
     Bm
Oh, monkey wrench my side view
          Em
mirrors, ghost my friends
                 Am
I’ve lived more lives than enough,
I haven’t died quite as much
         D7
But I’m not a real person just
the shit you can’t make up, and

[Chorus]
G                       C
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i swear
             G
I’m really trying
               Am
I’m just as exposed if
I take off my clothes
                      D7
When we make the closest thing
to love that I’m capable of and
G              G7
I-i-i-i-i-i-i don’t
                    C
know why you would care
                 G
But I’m really trying
         Am
Oh, I’m sorry,
I promise I’m doing my best
        D7
I just haven’t learned how
to be human as you are yet

[Bridge]
G  Am  C  D7  G  Am
C  D7  D7  D7sus4
D7    D7sus4
Did I really
 Am
Have any of that gravity?
      D7
Maybe you’re quicksand
           Bm
Because I really couldn’t tell
             Em
how deep my footprints went
        Am
The vertex of my redemption arc,
the searching of that virgin heart
     D7
I’m catatonic in your arms, cryin’
“How did I cause so much harm?”
     Am
I’m down pounding my head
         D7
Against the kitchen floor
     Bm
Apologizing for my life
         Em
and ever entering yours
               Am
Don’t say “I’m sorry
but this can’t go on”,
I know you’ve got scars of your own
     D7
But hide my knives before I go,
I’ll either live or die alone

[Chorus]
G                       C
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i swear
                  G
That I will die trying
                   Am
I’m still in the process
but I’m making progress
             D7
I promise I honestly wanna
prove improve is possible
G           G7          C
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i swear
                G
I’m so fucking sorry
                Am
I’m not a good person,
I’m barely a person at all
         D7
But someday I’ll be perfect
                        G
and I’ll make up for it all
