D Bb/D D
My lips are shakin', my nails are bit off

Been a month since I've heard myself talk
D Bb/D D
Only advantage this life's got on me
Bb/D D C
Picture a cup in the middle of the sea
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm F# G
And I fought back in my mind
Bm F# G
Never lets me be right
Bm F# G
I got memories, I got shit
Bm F# G
So much it don't show

When you held me in at night
D Am7
I walked the line
C G
When you held my hand and I

Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm F# G
And I'll stay in bed

Oh, stare back at me, yeah
[Chorus 2]

Oh, I walked the line
C G
When you held me in at night
D Am7
Oh, I walked the line
C G
When you held my hand and I
D Am7
Oh, I walked the line
C G
When you held me close at night
D Am7
I paid the price
C G
Never held you in real life
[Instrumental]
