Dm                 Bb                
I tried to be perfect
F                     C
But nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said

Bb
If you believe it's in my soul
F       C
I'd say all the words that I know
Bb
Just to see if it would show
F         C                     Bb
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it's the only thing that I have

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know  Bb...
That I'm better off on my own

BRIDGE F Bb F Bb Dm C Bb F Dm C Bb F A 

On my own

I tried to be perfect
It just wasn't worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It's hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
