[Intro]
Em Bm Dm Am (2x)
[Verse]
Em D Dm C
Sometimes I feel like I’m a stranger to myself
Em D Dm A
Walk past a mirror and think I’m someone else
Em D Dm E
Not sure just who I am without you anymore
Am C B
But that’s alright, still ain’t opened every door
Em D Dm C
Stuck in your fishbowl where I swam so aimlessly
Em D Dm A
One streamlined vision with a goldfish memory
Em D Dm E
One day you threw me back and found another kind
Am C B
But that’s alright, there’s an ocean in my mind
C Dm Ebm Em
[Chorus]
F Bb F Gm
I got everything I’ll ever need
F Bb
Couldn’t find the answer when I lost you to the breeze
Gm7 C7
Why keep waiting on your affection
Gm7 C7
Love’s inside of me
Bb C F
I’ve got everything I’ll ever need
F
I sleep with pillows piled around me like a cloud
F
Pretending that they’re you has never made me proud
Bb
Maybe it’s just a phase
Bb
I fold my hands and pray for better days
F
These things I see when I sit staring at the walls
F
I’m watching epic costume drama scenes unfold
Bb
Maybe I’ve lost my mind
Bb
But there’s no black or white
G

Bb C Dm Ebm Em
Why’s the light so bright when love is blind?

I pronounce the breaking of the spell

Nothing gets you down

Nothing kills you softly like yourself
