Intro
Dm

Verse 1
      Dm       F
I'm a lost case
  G      A#
Pathetic  waste of space
        C
Yeah I lose my days 
      G/B         Dm
and I can't get up early
       Dm        F
I've a stone face
   G                 A#
My heart is usually out of pace
      C
Wanna break the strain
     G/B           Dm
but I can't get up early

Chorus
    G                Dm
And I keep lying to myself
        C                   G/B           Dm
that my heart's of gold and some day I'd make it
     G                Dm
Yeah I keep trying by myself
       C                 G/B            Dm
but my heart is cold and fragile, don't break it

Verse 2
    Dm       F
And some days
    G             A#
I'm closer to the breakthrough phase
         C
Yeah I've filled the space
      G/B          Dm
but I can't get up early
        Dm      F
And I'm tired of
        G                   A#
of the countless efforts to keep my face
          C
'Cause no one can
       G/B     Dm
get it right always
           Dm      F
They might seem so,
    G               A#
but that is usually not the case
          C
'Cause no one can
        G/B     Dm
have it good always

Chorus
    G                Dm
And I keep lying to myself
        C                   G/B           Dm
that my heart's of gold and some day I'd make it
     G                Dm
Yeah I keep trying by myself
       C                 G/B            Dm
but my heart is cold and fragile, don't break it

that my heart's of gold and some day I'd make it
