G C All my lives are coming through G D7/F# And, even though there isn’t room Am D7 G Fill 1 I save seats for my selves Am D7 G Fill 1 Invite them in, wish them well Am G D Fill 2 The way I feel & the way I guess I felt C G I was 23 & crazy C G Frightened, overwhelmed, and angry C B7 You said, “That’s not how I see you Em A7 You treat yourself unfairly Em A7 Don’t treat yourself unfairly.”
Chorus
