[C]How can one become so bounded [G/B]by choices that somebody else makes?
[Dm]How come we've both become a version of a person we don't even like?
[C]We're in love with the world, but the world just wants to bring us down
[Dm]By putting ideas in our heads that corrupt our hearts somehow
[C]When I was a child, every single thing could blow my mind
[Dm]Soaking it all up for fun, but now I only soak up wine
[C]They say to play hard, you work hard, find balance in the sacrifice
[Dm]And yet I don't know anybody who's truly satisfied
[C]You better believe I'm trying (trying, trying)
[G/B]To [Am]keep [G]climbing (climbing, climbing)
[Dm]But the higher we climb, feels like we're both none the wiser
[C]So I hope [G/B]I learn to [Am]get over myself
[Dm]Stop trying [C]to be [G]somebody else
[C]So we [G/B]can love [Am]each other for free
[Dm]Everybody wants something, you just want me
[C]Why am I obsessing about [G/B]the things I can't control?
[Dm]Why am I seeking approval [C]from people I don't even know?
[C]In these crazy times I hope to find something I can cling onto
[Dm]'Cause I need some substance in my life
[C]Something real, something that feels true
[C]You better believe, for you I've cried (I've cried, I've cried)
[G/B]High tides [Am](high tides, [G]high tides)
[Dm]'Cause I want you so bad, but you can't fight fire with fire
Oh-oh
[C]So I hope [G/B]I learn to [Am]get over myself
[Dm]And stop [C]trying to [G]be somebody else
[C]Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free
[Dm]Everybody wants something from me, you just want me
[C]Listen, I know how low I can go, I give as good as I get
[Dm]You get the brunt of it [C]all 'cause you're all I've got left
[C]Oh, I hope in time (hope in time)
[G/B]We both will find (we'll [Am]both find) peace of mind
[Dm]Sometimes the road less traveled is the road best left behind
[C]Well, so I [G/B]hope I learn [Am]to get over myself
[Dm]Stop trying [C]to be [G]somebody else
[C]Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah
[Dm]'Cause everybody wants something from me, you just want me
[C]You better believe I'm trying (trying, trying)
[G/B]To [Am]keep [G]climbing (climbing, climbing)
[Dm]But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
[G/B]The only regret I have
[C]I wish that it was just at a different time
[Dm]A most [C]turbulent period [G]of my life
[C]Why would I put that on you?
[C]That's just like a very heavy thing to have to talk about
[Dm]But because of that period of time
[Dm]Even though it was so much fun
I didn't get to go on and make new memories with him
[G]There was just memories in the big storm
