Em            C                        G      
I tried to be perfect, but nothing was worth it
          D
I don't believe it makes me real
Em                C                  G
I thought it'd be easy, but no one believes me
        D
I meant all the things that I said.
C                         G
If you believe it's in my soul
        D
I'd say all the words that I know
C                       G
Just to see if it would show
         D                 C
That I'm trying to let you know
                          Em   C G D
That I'm better off on my own.
Em               C 
This place is so empty
                   G
My thoughts are so tempting
             D
I don't know how it got so bad
Em                C
Sometimes it's so crazy
                 G
That nothing can save me,
             D 
But it's the only thing that I have.
C                         G
If you believe it's in my soul
        D
I'd say all the words that I know
C                       G
Just to see if it would show
         D                 C
That I'm trying to let you know
                          G                    
That I'm better off on my own.

I tried to be perfect it just wasn't worth it

Nothing could ever be so wrong
Em           C
It's hard to believe me
              G
It never gets easy
          D
I guess I knew that all along.
