Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro C Em Bm

Verse 1

EmWhat if I squeeze myself into any shape and I still don't fit?Bm

EmWhat if I bend myself so much that I break and I can't mend it?

DWhat if I burn so bright that the fire goes out and I can't stay Bmlit?

 What's the point iCn it?

EmI could get good at crying crocodile tears just to get Bmalong

EmI could carry on telling you wanna hear 'til my voice is goneBm

DBut if I finally get to the place that I think is home and I don't beBmlong

 What's the poiCnt in it? Where's the benefit? When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it

Chorus

 It's not worEmth having if it's too much to hold

 You can dig so dBm7eep that you're left with a hole

EmThirsty in a desert with a bag full of gold Bm7

EmDon't wanna end up like pirate bones

Bm7What I thought was precious was just a pile o' stones

EmI might have the treasure but I'd be lying alone Bm7

 Just a pile of pirate bones Em

 If I foBm7rfeit my soul it ain't worth having Em

 If it's soBm7mething I stole it ain't worth having

Verse 2

EmWhat if I stake everything I am on a dream and it's counterfeit? Bm

EmIf I reach the end that justifies the means could I live with iBmt?

 What's the point iCn it? Where's the benefit? When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it.

Oh, oh
