Where do I start?
F Fm
All these thoughts inside my head collide

And I decide I’m stayin’ in tonight

They say, “Follow your heart”
F Fm
But it’s beating uncontrollably
Cmaj Em F Fm
I can’t hear what it’s tellin’ me this time

[Pre-Chorus: Zach Herron]
Cmaj Em F fM
We’re dancin’ on the edge of anxiety’s ledge
Cmaj Em F Fm
And I might fall again, I might fall
Cmaj Em F Fm
We’re walkin’ on a rope of worry, and I hope
Cmaj Em F Fm
That I don’t fall again, I don’t fall

[Chorus: Jack Avery]
Cmaj Em F Fm
Take me somewhere I can be
Cmaj Em F Fm
I can be myself (Be myself)
Cmaj Em F Fm
Oh, take me somewhere I am free
Cmaj Em F Fm
Free to be myself and nothin’ else

Try to find my validation in what everybody’s sayin’

I need some help
