Intro: G D Em
verse 1
G D
I was sitting here thinking one day
G D Em
Maybe I should go back to writing my own songs
G D Em
I was also thinking, what if no one listens to it
G D Em
or if no one likes what I write
verse 2
G D Em
My music is what keeps me going
G D Em
People look at me like, what are you doing next
G D Em
I started playing guitar, just a little while ago
G D Em
So I started writing my own songs
verse 3
G D Em
It turns out people really like what I do
G D Em
I don't know what I'd do without them here
G D Em
Because of my music, my life could take me places
G D Em
I've never seen before, if I wanted it too
G D Em
But that's not what I want to do with my life
verse 4
G D Em
I'm joining the military, to take my life somewhere new
G D Em
A lot of people don't think I can do it
G D Em
But I think if I trained hard enough I can do it
G D Em
Yeah, my life is nothing, if I can't make my own choices
G D Em
I'm eighteen now,
G D Em
Waiting on time to stop flying by
G D Em
I need time to feel like its just time
G D Em
I need my world to be mine
G D Em
And someone to love me
G D Em
No matter what my life takes me through
G D Em
If you happen to be that person
G D Em
Then you should feel lucky to have me too
G D Em
I'm not the easiest person to love
G D Em
If you're my friend then I thank you
G D Em
For being there for me
G D Em
My life is terrible, but I get through it
G D Em
Even though everyone is constantly sticking my head in the mud
(Repeat Chorus)
