Bb F Eb
stay the same
no you don’t need to change
you are fine the way you are
good and free
even if it don’t come easy
i like the way you are
Eb F Bb Gm
you try so hard to please the others
that you’re tearing in two
i wish that you’d discover
that you’re better as you
Eb F Bb Eb
maybe it’s selfish for me
to want you to stay the same
but all i know is that
i like you that way
Gm Eb
i like you that way…
Bb F Eb
so stay the same
cuz you’re already sane
and you don’t need to give in
you’re good as is
and you’re not alone in this
i like the you within
Eb F Bb Gm
you are an independent person
and you’re already grown
they shouldn’t make you feel less than
the self that you own
Eb F Bb Eb
you don’t need their opinions
how can i convey
that you are my favorite person
and i like you this way
Gm Eb
i like you this way
i like you that way
i like you that way
i like you that way

i have...

|
Em, G, Am, D
I have forgotten my way
I have forgotten my name
I could try to remember
But I forgot everything
I could stop giving up
I could just try my luck
But that might be too hard…
G, D, Am
So even though my heart is breaking
And even though we're worlds apart
We could keep this world from shaking
Shaking…
Em, G, Am, D
I don't remember this place
And I don't remember your face
Where are we anyway?
I don't belong in this space
I could just give it a try
I could pretend that you're mine
But then I'd have to lie…
G, D, Am
So even though I feel like I'm falling
And even though this could all break down
We could keep this world from stalling
Stalling…
Em, G, Am, D
What's the point of running any more?
When what we have has been forgotten….

only i can feel your absence
every breath, every look
you must know i have no pretense
C D7 G C
you make me feel like i could be
much better than i am
but not like in a pressure way
i hope you understand (Em)

i don’t know if you understand
the loneliness i’ve faced

D D7 G G7
i’m not the type to fall easily
i don’t like to let people in
when it’s time to say how i feel
well i’d just rather keep them as friends
but you have gotten caught up in my soul
and i, i think that i’m losing control
i really don’t like it when you mess up my head
so maybe we should call off this whole thing instead
whatcha think about that?
whatcha think about that?
i’m not a girl who gets what i want
i don’t like to look like i try
i’m so afraid of coming up short
knowing me, are you surprised?
but you have burrowed down into my mind
i tried so very hard to leave you behind
i really don’t like it when you mess up my plans
i just want to keep living why can’t you understand
whatcha think about that?
whatcha think about that?
cuz you have found a way to stay in my heart
and i, i can’t deny the feelings that starts
i really don’t like it when you mess with my brain
don’t wanna be your lover i just wanna stay sane
i really don’t like it when you smile that way
you lock my limbs and tie my tongue, there’s nothing to say
i really don’t like it when you put me on top
you got that kinda something and you make my heart stop
whatcha think about that?
whatcha think about that?
i really don’t like it when you put me on top
you got that kinda something and you make my heart stop
whatcha think about that?

that the world will finally find out who i am
a life built on frustrations
but i’m afraid underneath it’s all a scam
Eb Bb F
and i feel like i should be better
yeah i feel like i should, somehow
and i feel like i should be better

of doing the same shit all the time

capo 1
Em D C B
i don’t believe i’ve ever seen something so beautiful
what does it mean to fall head first into a thunderstorm
you pull me down and i surrender
wondering if this will end her
and i, i’m fine
i swear
promise, after this
you’ll be there
Em D C B / Em D7 A7
(aahs)
Em D C B
you’ve got a way of pulling me in just like a hurricane
everyone else, they run away, they must think that i’m insane
cuz you pull me in and i go under
you touch me and it feels like thunder
and i, i thrive
i swear
with this, i’m alive
cuz you’re there
Em D A—
cuz you touch my skin and my pulse is lightning
electricity i can’t keep fighting
Em D C B / Em D7 A7
(aahs)
Em D C B (slow)
i must admit i didn’t think that i could handle this
but any time i try to quit i’m pulled back in by your lips
cuz you pull me down…
(high) i surrender (Em)

D F#m E D
i know you love me and you’ll never let me go
but i’m afraid i’ll be lonely forever even though
i am not alone, i am not alone
you want me to know
that i am not alone, i am not alone
and your feelings show
but i am so afraid and i am so small
how could you love me when i’m no good at all
you must be a liar… or maybe i’m not so bad
but i think you’re a liar… you must be a liar…
E D A E
how does it feel?
i want to to know
E D F#m E
when love is real
how do you know?
F#m C#7 D Dm 2212
whoa (etc.)
D F#m E D
i know i contradict myself, my head is a mess
but i’m afraid all this is just pretend and that i’m worthless
i am not alone, i am not alone
you want me to know
that i am not alone, i am not alone
and your feelings show
but i am so low and i am so afraid
how can you love me after the mess i’ve made
you must be a liar… or maybe i’m not so bad
but i think you’re a liar… you must be a liar…
C#m F#m
but i hope you’re not
