Gsus4     Gmaj7
Suppose I said
Fadd9      Cadd9
I am on my best behaviour
Gsus4     Gmaj7
There are times
Fadd9             Gm9
I lose my worried mind 


Gsus4                          Gmaj9   Csus2
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Gsus4                          Gmaj9   Csus2
Wait it out while I am someone else? 


Gsus4     Gmaj7
Suppose I said
Fadd9             Cadd9
Colors change for no good reason
Gsus4      Gmaj7
Words will go
Fadd9          Gm9
From poetry to prose 


Gsus4                          Gmaj9   Csus2
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Gsus4                          Gmaj9   Csus2
Wait it out while I am someone else?
