Excuses

D                A             G
Why no one will help me  i am 
            A
too dumb i am too smart
D                 A         
they'll not understand me i am 
     G            A
lonely they'll hate me
      D             A            
and there is not enough time its 
G            A
too hard to help me
     D               A          G
and god wants me to work no 
       A
resting no lazy

D                       Gm       
these excuses how they served me 
    D
so well
              Dm                 D
they kept me safe they kept me stuck
               Gm              D
they kept me locked in my own cell

D                A             G
im too far from home it takes 
             A
far too much energy
D                A         G    
and i cannot afford to no one 
       A
will ever see me
       D                       Gm 
these excuses how they served me 
          D
so well
              Dm                 D
they kept me safe they kept me stuck
               Gm              D
they kept me locked in my own cell
D                         
these excuses how they're so 
Gm      D
familiar
               Dm                
they kept me blocked they kept me 
   D
small
              Gm              D
they kept me safe inside my shell
D                                 
bringing these into the light 
        G
shakes their foundation
   A                 D   
and clears my sight now my 
                      G
imagination is the only thing
                 A                 
that limits the bar and it's rise 
       D
to the heights

D                   A
no one can have it all
          G            A
i see i have to, they want me to
D                     A
and i can't let them down
        G         A
I will never be happy
