G                                     D
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you
But I can't really find
G                                          D
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes
And sort them in my mind
G                                   D
The negative thoughts go on the left
And the happy things on the right
G                                             D
And there's a little corner saved just for you

Bm                                     G
Please let me know if you change your mind
Cause inside I'm falling
    D                                  A
And I need you to pull me out of this decline
Bm                          G
I realise how hard on you this must seem
But trust me
        D                          A
When I say its far, far worse for me

Chorus:
D                              G
Please, please be here for me dear
Cause I've never needed a friend more
    Bm                                G
And I cant stress enough how much it means
to me that you're trying
    D                                  G
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like
you used to
                  Bm
Cause I've never hated myself more
                    G
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise
I'm trying

Give me a moment to get my cards in line
'Cause I'm still trying to figure out
In what kind of order should I set 'em out
If there was a way to explain everything without
a word
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt

I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes
But a part of me wants to let you be
'Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out
It's like we're in a dream state
But I should've woken up, woken up by now
