Head On Straight
E C#
I don't want be the one who hurts you

I don't want to be the one who fails
E B C# A
I'm keeping my head on straight
E B C# A
So you can trust me again
E C# x2
E C#
I struggled all my life with empty moments
E C#
The shadow of a hole I'd never fill
E B C# A
Any happiness I had was empty
E B C# A
It wasn't good enough, I wanted love
Chorus

So you can trust me again
E B C# A
I'm keeping my head on straight

So you can trust me again
I don't want to think of life without you
I don't want to take a step alone
It scares me to think I almost lost you
Just let me know you're fine, I'm on the line
I'm keeping my head on straight
So you can trust me again
I'm keeping my head on straight
So you can trust me again
