They Looked Like String Hands
Tuning: Drop D Flat
[B] [D] [E] [G] [Bb] [Dm] [A]
intro:
This isn't who [B]I am.
From confi[D]dence to self doubt in 60 [E]seconds.
Storming s[G]tages and stereo[D]s from here to there,
[B]trying to prove that I be[D]long.
Trying to [E]win approva[G]l from[D] people that I don't know.

____Chorus____
[G]And I [Bb]look so s[B]trong
when the [D]weight of all the [G]world
don't [A]take it's [Dm]toll.
[G]And I'd [Bb]choose my s[B]ide
if I be[D]lieved in what was [G]right,
but [A]I'm all [Dm]wrong.
_______
[B]I'm not larger than life, I'm not taller than [D]trees.
Do I mean what I say or is it just this di[E]seas[G]e where I never go[D] home?
[B]Never telling the truth, how this life eats [D]away.
Not admitting I'm fake.
And I'm [E]questioning if this[G] whole thing was worth it to[D] die poor and all alone?
(Chorus)
Just don't tell me this doesn't mean the world,
'Cause my ears would bleed and my heart would hit the floor.
