Build Yourself

           G
A familiar sound
                Em
Another slow collapse
         C           Em
I called home so I’d know
         D
That I had somewhere to go
              G
And I carried on
                            Em
Like somehow they should be proud
                               C
There’s this strength in their daughter
                  Em
Come hell or high water
         D               Em      G
She will argue while she drowns

           C             G
Like I was born into the feeling
               Bm              C
I'd earned the right to act as though
                       Em
We all might as well be quitters
                         D
And I'm the only one who knows
      C                   G
So my sense of truth is waning
         Bm              C
Dragging right behind my pride
    C               Em
But losing feels so graceful
          D                  C     G
When I pretend my hands were tied
C Em D
C G

                    G
Now I’m back in that dream
                     Em
Where I sat in the wrong seat
            C
But somehow drove
    Em    D
Halfway to I don’t know
                        G
And if they find me like this
                       Em
Who’s really gonna believe
             C                Em
This was not me, this was not me
D                            Em    G
I know I did it but it was not me

               C          G
So now they’re running diagnostics
        Bm                C
On everything you’ll ever have
                   Em                        D
“The system had potential but the wiring was bad
        C             G
But our age is one of wonders
       Bm              C
So let nothing get you down
                   Em                  D              C        G
We’ll find another glitch that you can build yourself around”

        C               G
You can scramble for an exit
         Bm                   C
When the world starts pouring in
                          Em
You can give your life to God
                                D
But you will need it more than him
                      C                   G
And you know that the wind is still gonna find you
           Bm                 C
And as the pressure starts to build
                         Em
You can beat yourself to death out there, oh
D                C       G
Just by standing still
