Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

 held back by walls of insecurity

 that i just could never see

 held people at arms length

(same chords)

devoid of all human contact

cannot express emotion

i try with all my strength

Chorus

 what is the matter with me

 it seems no one cares

 i'm blinded by my innocence

 will no one be there for me

 when i don't understand

i need a guiding hand

Verse 2

covered in blankets of immagination

where i can talk to people without a second thought

what if they're laughing at me

i know i'm not good enough so i won't even try

repeat chorus

repeat intro

repeat chorus (w/out lyrics)

Bass solo

ska break:

everything's gonna be okay and i know

 but it just seem that way...

right around the corner there may be someone who cares...

everything's gonna be alright and i know, but i wish it was tonight

maybe i would sleep better at night if i knew someone cared
