[Verse 1]
C Em
I don’t know where I’m going, but this road I’m on,
Am G C C
Is taking me places I’ve never been,
C Em
I don’t do well on my own, but when you’re here I swear I’m home,
Am G C C
The love you gave is more than I could ever pay,
C Em
I just moved out west, and God I’m scared to death,
Am G C C
Of the things that people are aiming me to be,
C Em
And how do I make sense of all this shit I’m in,
Am G C C
It’s like everyone wants to help and no one can see.
[Chorus]
F G
When I close my eyes and think about my dreams,
C G/B Am
It’s a million eyes and one set of strings,
F G
And I’m convinced that you’re the only one that knows me,
C G/B Am
With you I’m already the man I wanna be,
F G
They don’t understand just how much your heart means,
C G/B Am
It saved my life, it helped me forget the pain,
F G7
And don’t you worry, the love we have won’t leave,
C G/B C
You ain’t in my head, you’re in the way I breathe.

[Verse 2]
C Em
One thing I miss most about the place I was grown,
Am G C C
Is no one saw me as more than just a kid,
C
When this machine tries to buy me out,
Em Em7
I scream out to the crowds,
Am G C C
I’m a busted-ass boy that was built on honesty,
C
Mama always said to me,
Em
My son, you’re a sun to see,
Am G C C
Where would I be without you believing in me,
C
I got some boys that would die for me,
Em
And a girl that would never leave,
Am G C C
What else could a man ever need.
[Chorus]
F G
When I close my eyes and think about my dreams,
C G/B Am
It’s a million eyes and one set of strings,
F G
And I’m convinced that you’re the only one that knows me,
C G/B Am
With you I’m already the man I wanna be,
F G
They don’t understand just how much your heart means,
C G/B Am
It saved my life, it helped me forget the pain,
F G7
And don’t you worry, the love we have won’t leave,
N.C. Cadd9
You ain’t in my head, you’re in the way I breathe.
I don't know where I'm going but this road I'm on
Is taking me to places I've never been
I don't do well on my own but when you're here I swear I'm home
The love you give is more than I could ever pay
Well I just moved out West and God I'm scared to death
Of the things that people are aiming me to be
And how do I make sense of all this shit I'm in?
It's like everyone wants to help but no one can see
And when I close my eyes and think about my dreams
It's a million eyes [?]
And I'm convinced that you're the only one who knows me
With you I'm already the man I wanna be
They don't understand just how much your heart means
It saved my life and helped me forget the pain
And don't you worry, the love we have won't leave
You ain't in my head, you're in the way I breathe
One thing I miss most about the place I was grown
Is no one saw me as more than just a kid
As this machine tries to buy me out, I scream out to the crowds
"I'm a busted-ass boy that was built on honesty"
Mama always said to me, "Son you're something to see"
Where would I be without you believing in me?
I got some boys that would die for me and a girl that would never leave
What else could a man ever need?
And when I close my eyes and think about my dreams
It's a million eyes [?]
And I'm convinced that you're the only one who knows me
With you I'm already the man I wanna be
They don't understand just how much your heart means
It saved my life and helped me forget the pain
And don't you worry, the love we have won't leave
You ain't in my head, you're in the way I breathe
