[Intro 1]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]You'd [G]thi[D]nk[G]
I'd shot their chil[D]dren
[G]Fro[Em]m the[G] way[C] that they are[G] tal[C]king
And there's [A]no point in responding
'Cause it [C]will not make them stop

[Verse 2]
And [C]I am t[D]ired o[G]f expl[D]aining[G]
[Em]And [G]of s[C]eeing [G]so m[C]uch hating
In the [A]very same safe haven
Where I [C]used to just [G]see [C]helping

[Verse 3]
I've been [G]drunk and skipping [D]dinner[G]
[Em]Eat [G]ing [C]skin from off my fingers
And I [A]tried to [C#dim]call my b[A]rother
But [C#dim]he no lon[A]ger[C] ex[G]ists[C]

[Verse 4]
I [C]keep for[G]get[D] ti[G]ng to remember
That he [C]would have [G]been [C]much prouder
If he [A]saw me shake [C#dim]these ins[A]ults off
In[C]stead of [G]getting [C]bitter

[Verse 5]
[C]I am b[A]igger on t[C#dim]he inside[A]
But you [C]have to come [Am]in
[C]side to see me
[A]Otherwise you're only hating
[C]Oth[G]er [C]people's
low-res [G]copies[A]
copies
[G]

[Verse 6]
You'd think I'd learn my lesson
From the [C]way they keep on testing
My [A]ca pacity for pain
And my re[C]solve to not get violent

[Verse 7]
But [G]though my skin is thickened
Certain [C]spots can still be gotten
It is [A]typically human of me
[C]Thinking I am different

[Verse 8]
To [G]friends hooked up to
hospital ma[C]chines
To fix their cancer
And there [A]is no better place
than from this
[C]Waiting room to answer

[Verse 9]
[C]The French [G]kid who sent an email
To [C]the website late last night
His father [A]raped him and he's scared
He asked me
[C]"How do you keep fighting?"

[Verse 10]
[C]And the [G]truth is I don't know
I think it's [C]funny that he asked me
Cause I [A]don't feel like a fighter lately
[C]I am too unhappy

[Verse 11]
[C]You are [A]bigger on the inside
But your [C]father cannot see
You need to [A]tell someone
Be strong
And somewhere [C]some dumb rock
star [A]truly loves you
[G]

[Verse 12]
You'd [D]think [G]I'd get perspective
From my [C]view here by the bedside
It is [A]difficult to see the ones I [C]love
So close to death

[Verse 13]
All [C]their in[G]fections and proscriptions
And the [C]will to live at all in question
[A]Can I not accept that my
own [C]problems
Are so small?

[Verse 14]
You [C]took my [G]hand when you woke up
I had been [C]crying in the darkness
We all [A]die alone but I am so, so [C]glad
That you are here

[Verse 15]
[C]You whispered

[Verse 16]
[A]"We are so [C#dim]much bigg[A]er on the inside
You, me, every[C]body
[A]Some day when you're
lying where I am
You'll fi[C]nally get it, beauty
[A]We are so much bigger
Than another one can ever see
[C]But
[A]Trying is the point of life
So don't stop trying
[C]Promise me"
