BoyWithUke - Understand

[chorus]
F#m
Girl, I hope you understand
  D
I wanted to hold your hand
        A
But I can't,
                          E7    C#
wanted to be your man back then
    F#m
And you knew I fell for you but you
D
Just broke my heart in two
      A
I was sad, mad, and broken on my bed
C#
Hoping I get rid of all the voices in my head

[verse 1]
      F#m
I was opening a packet of an undeveloped med
           D
When I was met with a prescription of a
bullet made of lead
           A
And when I woke up in an hour in a
pool of my own sweat
         E7
I said, "I swear to God I'll
                  C#
never even try to sleep again"
      F#m
So instead I took my pen and
started writing evidence
           D
And whеn I started making sense
I found that I had rеached the end
          A
Oh, I'm upset, I have no friends
You wanna bet you're just pretend?
              E7
You're just a pet confined within the
         C#
lines of writing
You're not shit
F#m
I thought I stopped my psychopathic
D
ways, I swear I did
         A
I said I talked
to people 'bout the
      E7                C#
problematic life I lived
             F#m
They were my neighbors, razor blades
              D
And different flavored pills I hate
              A
Therefore I'm not sure, leave my last straw
       E7                       C#
I'm so glad, stuck in the past, I said that

[chorus]
F#m
Girl, I hope you understand
  D
I wanted to hold your hand
         A
But I can't,
                          E7  C#
wanted to be your man back then
    F#m
And so far I never held you with my arms
D
 So it's hard to be the one you aren't
A
With instead filled with anxiety
E7
Always was a part of me,
C#
guess I'm not cut out to be

[verse 2]
F#m
Somebody 'cause it's not me
I'm not used to all the talk,
          D
it was an introvert
That had converted feelings into writing
        A
Used to cope with all my problems
Using notes and lots of rhyming
        E7
Used to hope for better days whenever
C#
nights would have me crying
        F#m
I'm not lying when I say that I would
rather daily go back
       D
To the times I would try be the
guy the people know
A
I was fighting with the demons hiding
far beyond my eyelids
      E7
On an island full of violence in my
C#
head that I could pilot
F#m
   Oh, the sun don't shine,
                   D
the skies turn gray
                                   A
I felt it coursing through my veins
                          E7
I said before I'm not okay
              C#        F#m
But you don't listen anyway
                                D
You know I tried, you turned away
                                    A
You straight up lied right to my face
                               E7
You fucked my life, ruined my day
                   C#
But you don't know, so I'll say

[refrain]
F#m
Nothing can fill this silence,
D
no one can love like I did
A
Nobody cares, you lied, it's
E7           C#
no fair, you still deny it
F#m
Nothing can fill this silence,
D
no one can love like I did
A
Nobody cares, you lied, it's
E7           C#
no fair, you still deny it

[chorus]
F#m
Girl, I hope you understand
  D
I wanted to hold your hand
         A
But I can't,
                          E7  C#
wanted to be your man back then
    F#m
And too bad I know I can't wake up
        D
Because I lost my weight and you don't give a fuck
      A
About me,
                              E7
this could be a dream, I can't see
    C#
The things that you see, so please, oh
F#m
Girl, I hope you understand
  D
I wanted to hold your hand
But I can't,
A                          E7  C#
wanted to be your man back then
    F#m
And you know I'll play along
    D
You were my home, I wrote you songs
        A
And now you're dead to me effectively
      C#                          F#m
Removed yourself outside my dreams
