E
I’m feeling calm but I'm never relaxed
I feel it coming but I'm holding it back
A
I’m on the edge but I never attack
I’m straight off the moment but
I still come back like that
E
I’m a strong man weaker than I once was
Weed and bramble still hard to handle
A
I can hold my own if you need me
I’m waiting here can you see me

Chorus:
E
Sometimes I'm standing where I wanna be
Sometimes I hate you but you feel so nice
A
I know you think I'm gone
                       D
But I’m all in, don’t get me wrong
E
Sometimes I know I'm gonna lose it
I’m all caught up, I'm faking
A
Without you I'd be gone
                           D
Don’t get me wrong, don’t get me wrong

I got a past, but it's present tense
I keep it covered like it's rubber cement
I got a side that you ain’t seen yet
I know I'm looking dry, but I'm feeling soaking wet
I'm a razor, walking on a tight thread
A contradiction stranger than the fiction
I'm flying, blind, but I can see you
Don't run away, I still need you

Chorus:
Sometimes I'm standing where I wanna be
Sometimes I hate you, but you feel so nice
I know you think I'm gone, but I'm all in
Don't get me wrong
Sometimes I know, I'm gonna lose it
I'm all caught up, I'm faking
Without you I'd be gone
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong

E
Now can you hear me
Say how you’re feeling
A
Tie all the lines we’ve drawn
And let’s just hold on

Chorus:
Sometimes I'm standing where I wanna be
Sometimes I hate you, but you feel so nice
I know you think I'm gone, but I'm all in
Don't get me wrong
Sometimes I know, I'm gonna lose it
I'm all caught up, I'm faking
Without you I'd be gone
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
