[Verse 1]
C F C Cadd9 C Cadd9 Am
Unlucky seventeen, already handed plans for the future
C F G C
Glamour obsessed, told how to dress, and shown how to think
F C Cadd9 C Cadd9 Am
And I don't have a job, but I can show you how to be a slob
C F G
So many days, wasted and glazed
C Cadd9 F
Sometimes I laugh aloud as I think about,
C D
You asking me "Please can you help?"
F
Can't help my self
[Chorus 1]
G C G
I'm not your savior, I'm not who you want me to be
F G C
A cowardly mistake I've made so many times before, refusing to break
Em F
Cut my losses ties them with you, like a good boy I'll pretend
Fm C Cadd9 Am G F G C
And promise not to do it again

[Verse 2]
F C Cadd9 C Cadd9 Am
Do you remember when, life was so simple and permanent?
C F G C
Everyone's changed, "Everyone's cool", Everyone sucks
Cadd9 F C D
But I can't seem to complain, Exciting and new is just not there
F
You're getting scared
[Chorus 2]
G C G
I'm not your savior, never thought I was anyway
F G
I'm a void with empty promises that backs out late
C Em
Never said I'd change, taking back the words that we spoke
F Fm C
Like a fuel tank running dry, you'll believe it when I choke
Em F G C
you'll believe it when I choke
