[Intro 1]
[C][Am][D][G]

[Verse 1]
It's not what I [G]thought
it would feel like
The praise that's seeping in
It goes as [C]quick as it comes
Like it's carried by some [G]strong wind
And I [Am]know what it seems [D]like
That I'm thinking on leaving
[G]again

[Verse 2]
[G]
And maybe I'm just a little shallow
And if it's true that still waters run deep
Well then, [C]I've been swiftly moving
Can the others see right through me?
[G]My masquer[Am]ades and my
[D]illusions
That I've crafted so carefully
[G]Well, I'm just a [Am]broken [D]illusion
Not as tough as I oughta

[Interlude 1]
be
[G][Am][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Well, the [G]flowers my mama
bought me
They only keep for two weeks
And then they [C]just become
another reminder
That he's never gonna write to me
[G]And I spoke my [Am]fears to my [D]mother
She said "Honey, just let it be"
[G]And then she sen[Am]t some pretty flowers
With [D]the hopes that my hurting they

[Interlude 2]
would ease
[G][Am][D][G]

[Verse 4]
Well, you would think [G]that
I should feel happy
But the truth is I feel spent
And the num[C]bers they've
been climbing
Just not enough to pay my rent
[G]I didn't use to thi[Am]nk
much of the numbers
[D]But now, they're always ra
[Bm]cing through [D]my head
[G]And I guess that I [Am]grew a little shallow
When I forsook [D]the words that my mama once

[Interlude 3]
said
[G][Am][D][Bm][D][G][Am]
[D][G]

[Verse 5]
And now, my [G]thoughts are
slow and twisted
And I can't seem to break them down
Which leaves my [C]words false in meaning
I feel sad when I speak out loud
[G]I thought I was to be [Am]a better lover
[D]When I got out of that [G]town
But I'm still [Am]no good in loving
And lov[D]ing only leaves me
losing [G]anyhow

[Verse 6]
Yes, I'm [Am]still no good in loving
And lov[D]ing only leaves me losing anyhow

[Outro 1]
