D                A             G            A 
Why no one will help me  i am too dumb i am too smart   
D                 A              G            A 
they'll not understand me i am lonely they'll hate me  
      D             A            G            A 
and there is not enough time its too hard to help me  
     D               A          G       A 
and god wants me to work no resting no lazy 
 
D                       Gm           D        
these excuses how they served me so well  
              Dm                 D 
they kept me safe they kept me stuck  
               Gm              D 
they kept me locked in my own cell 
 
D                A             G             A 
im too far from home it takes far too much energy  
D                A         G           A 
and i cannot afford to no one will ever see me  
D                       Gm           D        
these excuses how they served me so well  
              Dm                 D 
they kept me safe they kept me stuck  
               Gm              D 
they kept me locked in my own cell 
D                         Gm      D 
these excuses how they're so familiar 
               Dm                   D 
they kept me blocked they kept me small  
              Gm              D 
they kept me safe inside my shell
  
D                                         G 
bringing these into the light shakes their foundation 
   A                 D                         G 
and clears my sight now my imagination is the only thing 
                 A                        D 
that limits the bar and it's rise to the heights 
 
D                   A 
no one can have it all  
          G            A 
i see i have to, they want me to  
D                     A       
and i can't let them down  
        G         A 
I will never be happy 
 
Chorus
