Verse 1
[Bb] [F/A] [Gm]
How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes?
[Cm7] [Bb] [F/A] [F]
How come we both become a version of a person we don't even like?
[Bb] [F/A] [Gm]
We're in love with the world but the world just wants to bring us down
[Cm7] [Bb] [F/A] [F]
By puttin' ideals in our heads to corrupt our hearts somehow
[Bb] [F/A] [Gm]
When I was a child every single thing could blow my mind
[Cm7] [Bb] [F/A] [F]
Soaking it all up for fun but now I only soak up wine
[Bb] [F/A] [Gm]
They say to play hard, you work hard, find balance in the sacrifice
[Cm7] [Bb] [F/A] [F]
And yet I don't know anybody who's truly satisfied
Refrain
[Bb] [Am7-5] [Ebdim7/A]
You better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying)

To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing)

But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser

Everybody wants something, you just want me

[Bb] [F/A] [Gm]
Why am I obsessing about the things I can't control?
[Cm7] [Bb] [F/A] [F]
Why am I seeking approval from people I don't even know?
[Bb] [F/A] [Gm7]
In these crazy times I hope I can find something I can cling onto
[Cm7] [Bb] [F/A] [F]
'Cause I need some substance in my life, something real, something that feels true
Refrain
[Bb] [Am7-5] [Ebdim7/A]
You better believe for you I've cried (I've cried, I've cried)
[Gm] [Fsus4]
High tides (High tides, high tides)
[Cm7] [Fsus4]
Cause I want you so bad, but you can't fight fire with fire

Bridge
[Bb] [F/A] [Gm]
Listen, I know how low I can go, I give as good as I get
[Cm] [Bb] [F/A] [F]
You get the brunt of it all 'cause you're all I've got left
[Bb] [F/A] [Gm]

Sometimes the road less traveled is the road best left behind
