Dead Ends

C         G              Am
Hello, hope, it's been a while
F                G              C               G
I thought I was damned to watch life through my hands
 C           G                        Am
Now I'€™m not in the place I thought I'd be
F              C                G
Makes looking back a whole lot simpler


[Pre-chorus]
  F                           Am
I thought that I could be the difference
F                   G              Am
I thought I could outsmart all the pain
    F                                 Am
But like life advice that's scrawled across a bathroom stall
                     G
It wasted everyone's time


[Chorus]
 F                    C
So now I'm saying goodbye
Am                  G
And I'm learning to fend for myself
     F                       C
Now, we started playing with fire
Am                G                  F
Believing that it would just keep us warm
                         C
Well, there's no need to run
Am                    G        Am
When you're traveling down the wrong road
F                        C
Yeah, There's no need to run
Am                    G                     F
When you're traveling down the wrong road


[Verse 2]
C             G              Am
Can't see the forest for the trees
F                  G                C            G
Heard it plenty of times, but now I know what it means
C               G                     Am
If you hold too tight you're bound to lose
F         C                        G
The very things you'€™ve decided are precious


[Pre-chorus]
F                            Am
Now I've learned I'm not so special
F          G              Am
No need to carry all that weight
F                               Am
You don't have to ask if you're allowed to fall apart
              G
So now I just say:


[Chorus]
F              C                  Am   G        F
There ain't no fixing this, but I like that you tried
                      C                 G
Sometimes the hardest part is being right
F              C                 Am   G        F
There ain'€™t no helping me, but I like that you lied
                         G                      Am
Sometimes it's worth the burn marks to feel the light

    F                  C
And I don't wanna know why
Am                  G
I just want to know how to move on now
F                     C
The past is buried in time
Am                  G
And the future's an anxious invention
 F                 C
Oh, and you never arrive
Am           G
Unless you accept your dead ends
F                     C
Yeah, you will never arrive
Am              G
Unless you make peace with your dead ends
