[Intro]

G#5 G5 A5
E
[Verse]
E5 C#5 A B
i hate waking up
A G#5
because i know i'll have to interact with people who see
C#5 B5
me as a man and not the person i am growing to be
E5 C#5 A B
i dont want to stop
A G#5
bad habits ive grown accustomed to over the course of time
C#5 B5
i swear im sorry but i just can help it
[Chorus]
E5 D5 C#5 G#5 G5 A5 E
I'm making a meal of it all
[Bridge]
G#5 F#5
im finally worried that im becoming a person i hate
B5 E
or if theres just so much i have to compensate
G#5 F#5
i finally grew up and recognized all of my past sins
B5 E
i completely understand if you cant forgive him
[Verse]
E5 D5 C#5 A B
i quit giving up
A G#5
i want to become the type of person that people see
C#5 B5
as tender and in touch with our reality
E5 C#5 A B
i'm done making up
A G#5
bad excuses for how i treat all of the people i love
C#5 B5
and now im proud to say i've grown and i'm no longer
[Chorus]
E5 D5 C#5 G#5 G5 A5 E
I'm making a meal of it all
[Bridge]
G#5 F#5
and once i learned that other people see the world like me
B5 E
i finally grew a rugged sense of empathy
G#5 F#5
so now when i meet the world with positivity
B5 E
it wont be cloaked with a bunch of irony
[Interlude]
E A E B A (x2, arpeggiated)
