This is how I play it. (The chords do not always make sense but it sounds right if
you have the right effects.)
There is no intro for this song. It begins with lyrics.
C G
Every day I get a little closer to,
Dm C
The things that I wanna, say with my life,
G Dm
In no particular order
F G
I'd like to make some sort of mark,
Dm C
So that the world knows I was here...
G
And I've been thinkin' about,
Dm F
How I could scream it out loud,
Dm G
Or paint a picture somehow,
Dm G
A thousand miles long
Dm D F
And I've been tryin' 'till now,
C G
These walls are freakin' me out,
Dm
Just need to let it all out,
Am
And reach out,
Dm G
Because sometimes, you can forget who you are
Dm G
I'm tired of trying to make it,
Dm F
I've spent so many nights,
C G
Tryin' to get it all right, oh-oh-oh
Dm G
I'm sick and tired of waiting,
C F
For someone to see, and start believing in me,

Oh-oh-oh
C G
But I know I'm not out here on my own...
Dm E
Every year I get a little farther from,
F G
Old misconceptions, that take the place,
Dm
Of mistakes and lessons,
C G
There's things I've learned from,
F
Things I've been burned from,
Dm F C
It's part of who I am And I've been thinkin' about,
G Dm
How I could scream it out loud,
Dm G
Or paint a picture somehow,
Dm G
A thousand miles long
Dm D F
And I've been tryin' 'till now,
C G
These walls are freakin' me out,
Dm
Just need to let it all out,
Am
And reach out,
Dm G
Because sometimes, you can forget who you are
Dm G
I'm tired of trying to make it,
Dm F
I've spent so many nights,
C G
Tryin' to get it all right, oh-oh-oh
Dm G
I'm sick and tired of waiting,
C F
For someone to see, and start believing in me,
Oh-oh-oh
Dm C
But I know I'm not out here on my own...
G C
There's been a lot of people,
Dm F
Think I'm goin' no where,
G F G
Times that by ten, for every time I felt like turnin' around,
Dm F
But every time you said push on
Dm G
And keep your head up,
Em F
Kept me on track from letting myself get fed up
Then end on a Cm
