[Opening]
I’ve [D]seen a thousand [Bm]things before [A] [G]
[D]Falling in and [Bm]out of [A]love [G]
I [D]couldn’t walk but [Bm]tried to [A]run [G]
At night the [D]weight of [Bm]expectation seems to [A]keep me [D]up
[verse 2]
A [D]thousand times I [Bm]said too much [A] [G]
[D]Always second guess [Bm]before I [A]jump [G]
Yeah [D]I gave my all [Bm]but not [A]enough [G]
And with the [D]weight of [Bm]expectation I’ll be [A]sleeping[D] rough
[chorus]
[G]How come I’m the only one who ever seems to get in my [D]way?
[G]Lately I’ve been fucking up a good thing any chance I can [D]get [A]
Somebody to [D]lean on somebody to hold
It’s just another to [Bm]lean on, before I let go
And I ain’t trying to be [A]lonely
Slowly, [A7]everything I touch turns to [G]stone
Maybe I’m better off on my own
[verse 3]
[D] [Bm] [A] [G]
A [D]thousand times [Bm]I’ve heard the [A]same [G]
I’ve heard some [D]other voices [Bm]in my [A]head [G]
Let me as[D]sure you that my [Bm]mind’s in [A]check [G]
I just can’t [D]put my faith in
[Bm]Something we might [A]live to [D]regret
[chorus]
[G]How come I’m the only one who ever seems to get in my [D]way?
[G]Lately I’ve been fucking up a good thing any chance I can [D]get [A]
Somebody to [D]lean on somebody to hold
It’s just another to [Bm]lean on, before I let go
And I ain’t trying to be [A]lonely
Slowly, [A7]everything I touch turns to [G]stone
Maybe I’m better off on my own
[Closing]
[D]Everything I touch turns to stone
[D]Maybe I’m better off on my own
[D]Everything that I touch turns to stone
[D]Maybe I’m better off on my own
[chorus]
[G]How come I’m the only one who ever seems to get in my [D]way?
[G]Lately I’ve been fucking up a good thing any chance I can [D]get [A]
Somebody to [D]lean on somebody to hold
It’s just another to [Bm]lean on, before I let go
And I ain’t trying to be [A]lonely
Slowly, [A7]everything I touch turns to [G]stone
Maybe I’m better off on my own
