Tom: C
C G C
Well it's hard for kids like us to grow up
Am
Our nostalgia comforts us
F C
The world's so dangerous out there
G
You've tried your best to care
Am F
Before the pressure takes hold of us
C G
The world's puppeteering us
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I'm right here
F C
Although you haven't said a word
G
I can hear your problems loud and clear
Am
So can you see straight?
F C
Or do I need more silver paint?
G
(or do i need more silver paint?)
[Chorus]
Am
If you're a cold blooded freak
F
Or a hot headed creep
C G
Sing it proud
Am
I would change everything
F
Would that change anything?
C
Don't mind me
G
I'm just thinking out loud
Am
Though our sight's on the stars
F
We won't get very far
C
Am I trying too hard?
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
Am
So tell me is this enough?
F
Tell me if it's too much
C
Am I trying too hard?
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
Am F
C G
(Am I trying too hard?)
[Verse 2]
C G C
Well we all know when push comes to shove
Am
Feeling insignificant
F C
To life's indifference to all
G
I'll help you break your fall
Am F
From the mindless attention-getters
C G
You could do so much better
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I'm right here
F C
Although i haven't said a word
G
It's clear, I'm just another mirror
Am
So can you see straight?
F C
Maybe i need more silver paint?
G
(silver paint, silver paint, silver paint)
[Chorus]
Am
If you're a cold blooded freak
F
Or a hot headed creep
C G
Sing it proud
Am
I would change everything
F
Would that change anything?
C
Don't mind me
G
I'm just thinking out loud
Am
Though our sight's on the stars
F
We won't get very far
C
Am I trying too hard?
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
Am
So tell me is this enough?
F
Tell me if it's too much
C
Am I trying too hard?
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
[Bridge]
Am F
All your antics can come off as bizarre
C G
You know it's possible to push it too far
Am F
You never knew that acts could be too loud
C G
What does it mean to be picked out in a crowd?
Am
We're the fools
F
We lose our cool
C
And fall away
G
From all the shame
G
So when in doubt
N.C
It's easier to cut the act
[End Chorus]
Am
If you're a cold blooded freak
F
Or a hot headed creep
C G
Sing it proud
Am
I would change everything
F
Would that change anything?
C
Don't mind me
G
I'm just thinking out loud
(Am I trying too hard?)
Am
Though our sight's on the stars
F
We won't get very far
C
Am I trying too hard?
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
Am
So tell me is this enough?
F
Tell me if it's too much
C
Am I trying too hard?
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
Am
I'll regret what I say
F
Bring it up anyway
C
Am I trying too hard?
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
Am
You're a cold blooded freak
F
I'm a hot headed creep
C
Am I trying too Hard?
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
Am
You're a cold blooded freak
F
I'm a hot headed creep
C
Tell me is this too much?
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
Am
I'd change everything
F
Would that change anything?
C
I'll regret what I'll say
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
Am
Being stuck in the dark
F
Ain't a walk in the park
C
Tell me now
G
(Am I trying too hard?)
