Composure

E                    F#m
Losing balance as I weigh out my options
A
It's an everyday morning routine
E             F#m          A
Through every hazy memory
E                       F#m
At any second you could recap the climax
A
It's not as vivid as it used to be
E              F#m         A
Through every hazy memory


[Pre-Chorus]
                 A
The walls were built so high
     C#m                 B
But couldn't keep their words out
             A
The shelter they provide
  C#m        B
Only houses self-doubt


[Chorus]
E       B             A
I'm reclaiming my composure
              C#m              B           A
Lately I'll bend, smile and pretend to be stable
E           B             A
I've been avoiding conversation
                 C#m              B           A
But lately I'll bend, smile and pretend to be stable


[Verse 2]
E                    F#m
Life's unfolding like the plot of a movie
 A
Not the version that everyone sees
E               F#m                A
My dreams laid out in front of me

(Like dreams laid out in front of me)
                 E   F#m                A
I never told anyone, but the truth is I see
E         F#m           A
A shadow hanging over me


[Pre-Chorus]
                 A
The walls were built so high
     C#m                 B
But couldn't keep their words out
             A
The shelter they provide
  C#m        B
Only houses self-doubt


[Chorus]
E       B             A
I'm reclaiming my composure
              C#m              B           A
Lately I'll bend, smile and pretend to be stable
E           B             A
I've been avoiding conversation
                 C#m              B           A
But lately I'll bend, smile and pretend to be stable


[Bridge]
F#m  C#m  B x2

                 A
The walls were built so high
     C#m                 B
But couldn't keep their words out
             A
The shelter they provide
  C#m        B
Only houses self-doubt


[Chorus]
E       B             A
I'm reclaiming my composure
              C#m              B           A
Lately I'll bend, smile and pretend to be stable
E           B             A
I've been avoiding conversation
                 C#m              B           A
But lately I'll bend, smile and pretend to be stable
