     G
I got big plans, but none of
      F
 them feel like mine
C     G
And I miss days where
           F
I used to feel like me
                G
Cause I've been trapped
in all the freedom
                         Am
Throw my heart up at the ceiling
  F
I take another drink so
                         G
 I can hear the voice of reason
I got big plans, but
              F
 none of them feel like mine

[Verse 2]
G
..Crowded space, but I feel alone
    Am      F
All eyes on me, all the time,
 in the judgement zone
                 G
Somewhere on the road,
up but I'm missing home
                F
No rest for the wicked,
 where could I put a pillow on
         G
Anywhere, feel misunderstood,
         Am
 they to patronize
F
..They judging my ways,
 but won't empathize
G
..You couldn't walk in
my shoes, I'm not telling lies
F
..Since 21, I've been
 running a whole enterprise
G
..Provide for too many people,
         Am
I can't jeopardize
F
..But I’ve been breaking
                C
in half to two separate lives
G
..Mr. Hyde just died looking
 in Jekyll’s eyes
F
..I start becoming somebody
 I can’t recognize
