[G]
[C]
[G] You'd think I'd shut their children from [C] the way that they are talking
And [C#] there's no point in responding
Cause [Cm] it will not make them stop
And [C] I am [G]
tired of explaining
And [C] of seeing so much hating
In the [A]
very same safe haven
Where [Cm] I used to just be helping
I've [G] been drunk and skipping dinner
Eating skin from off my [C] fingers
And I [Em] tried to call my brother
But [C] he [G] no longer exists
[C] I keep [G] forgetting to remember
That [C] he would have been much prouder
If he [A] saw me shake these insults off
[C] Instead of getting bitter
I [A] am bigger on the inside
But you [C] have to come inside to see [A] me
Otherwise you're only [C] hating other people's low-res copies
[Gm]
[G] You'd think I'd learn my lesson from the way they keep [Cm] on [C] testing
[A] My capacity for pain
And my [Cm] resolve to not get [G] violent
But though my skin is thick
And certain [C] spots can still be gotten
It [A] is typically human of me [C] thinking
I am different
To [G] friends hooked up to hospital [C] machines
To fix their cancer
And there [C#] is no better place than
From [C] this waiting room to answer
The French [G] kid who sent an email to [C] the website
Late last night his father [A] raped him
And he's scared he [G]
asked [C] me
How do you keep fighting?
And the [G] truth is I don't know
I think it's [C] funny that he asked me
Cause [A] I don't feel like a fighter lately
[C] I am too [G] unhappy
You [A] are bigger on the inside
But your father cannot see you
Need to tell someone
Be strong and somewhere
Some dumb rock star [G] truly loves you
You'd think I'd get perspective
From [C] my view here by the bedside
It [A] is difficult to see the ones [Am] I love
[G] So close to [C] death
All their [G] infections and prescriptions
And the [C] will to live at all in
[A] question
Can I not accept that my [C] own problems are so small?
You [G]
took my hand when you woke up
I had [C] been crying in the darkness
[G] We [C#m] all die [A] alone
But I [C#] am so, [C] so glad that you are [G] here
You [C] [A] whispered we are so much bigger on [C] the [G] inside
You [C] need everybody
[A] Someday when you're lying where [C] I am
You'll finally get it, beauty
[A] We are so much bigger than [C] another one can ever see
[A] But trying is the point of life
[C] So don't stop trying from this point to me
[C]
