G F#m Em A (Bm)
G F#m Em A (Bm)
 
VERSE 1
  G                                  F#m
I hear you've got your troubles, or so I've been told
Em                          A         Bm
Maybe just a couple but I'm not quite sold
    G                                     F#m
I'm indifferent to the difference between tomorrow and today
Em                           A                    Bm
Less an indiscretion than a lesson I've been paid and and (and)
    G                      F#m
The stages of recovery can signify your age
     Em             A
Like rings around a stump
                      Bm       G
Oh, that's something I know a little bit about, child
F#m                                     Em
Lately, it's been getting a little bit crazy
                     A             Bm
I don't wanna be complaining, complaining, oh
 
 
PRE-CHORUS
 
G ~            A ~
All my friends go to bed
A ~                              Bm ~
Dreaming up a reason they should weep, weep
    G ~            A ~                   A ~
And all my friends go to the ends of the earth, 
                             Bm (stop)
for secrets they don't wanna keep.
 
 
CHORUS
 
                  Bm
And this is my confession, yes, yes
              A
This is me confessing: God bless
             G
The sad and selfish
 
Stay helpless
           A             Bm
Cause I've always been stronger than that
                        A
Hold the weight of the world on my back
           G
It's just love, selfish love
                   A
Love, selfish love
 
HOOK(?)
 
G                      F#m
I've got nothing to confess, yes
Em                     A     Bm
I've got nothing to confess, yes
G                      F#m
I've got nothing to confess, yes
Em                     A     Bm*
I've got nothing to confess, yes
 
VERSE 2
 
G
It's too easy to be scared sometimes
F#m                    Em
I'm not gonna lie like I don't understand
                        G                        F#m
But it's like the whole world is jumping off the bridge
                             Em                  A  Bm
And you don't want to be the one standing on dry land
 
 
PRE-CHORUS
 
(just clapping for this. you can play the chords if you want to though)
G              A                     A                                   Bm (stop)
All my friends go to the ends of the earth for secrets they don't wanna keep
 
 
CHORUS
                   Bm
And this is my confession, yes, yes
               A
This is me confessing: God bless
             G
The sad and selfish;
               A
Stay helpless
                         Bm
'Coz I've always been stronger than that
                       A
Hold the weight of the world on my back
           G
It's just love, selfish love
                   A
Love, selfish love
