[Capo 4nd Fret] [Intro] C

[Verse 1]
C Am G F C
The gulf between intentions, actions and outcome brings me down
C Am G F C
the gulf between my intentions, my actions and the outcomes bring me down
G F C
it's not as if I’m unfamiliar with the correlation 'tween the three of them
G
when it’s garbage that I’m puttin in
F C
what comes out should come as no surprise

[Chorus 1]
G F C
oh but here I am // Here I am // Once again
G F C
Here I am // Against my better judgement // Here I am

[Verse 2]
C Am G F C
Here I am, wide awake at 3:05 on a school night
C Am G F C
3:25 and yet I must be up for work in a few
G F C
it's not as if I am unfamiliar with the notion of a solid 8
G F C
yet here I sit, many hours after it had started getting late

[Chorus]



[Bridge]
E7 F C G E7 F C G
Our curse is to always know // The right choice but to often go
E7 F C G E7 F C G Am
To a place where everything else // Seems like a more attractive option



[Verse3]
C Am G F C
That gulf that brings you down is where your humanity resides
C Am G F C
Blemishes and imperfections scars on a leathery hide
G F C
And if you erase the folly and the misteps that have brought you this far
G F C
You would be someone else completely now you would not be who you are

[Chorus out]
G F C
Oh but clearly you are, yes you are, who you are
G F C
Only one road would bring you here

(quiet) G F C (loud)
So embrace, embrace, who who you are
(quiet) G F C (loud)
Yes embrace, embrace, who you are
G F C
And Strive to be
G F C
Yeah just strive to be
