Verse 1: 
Eb                     Bb 
When I was young I was so full of fear 

  F                    Ab 
I hid behind anger and held back the tears 

       Eb                             Bb 
It was me against the world and I was sure that I’d win 

        F                             Ab 
But the world fought back punished me for my sins 

  Eb                Bb 
I felt so alone so insecure 

  F                          Ab 
I blamed me instead and made sure I was heard 

         Eb                     Eb 
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways  

      F                       Ab 
But I couldn’t hear what they had to say

And I think about my loves well I’ve had a few

I’m sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too? 

  Eb                        Bb 
I took what I wanted put my heart on the shelf  

F                         Ab 
How can you love when you don’t love yourself

It was me against the world I was sure that I’d win

But the world fought back punished me for my sins

Until I realised that I was wrong
