[Verse 1]
C
This is all I ever wanted
G
All I ever thought I’d be
C
It’s the only place I truly feel
G
As though I can be me
Am
But the way I arrived
G
It was overnight
Am
I’ve been on my worst behaviour
Em C D C
Been on my worst behaviour
[Chorus]
G
If only it ain’t been like this
Am
Now I can hold my heart in a fist
Em
And all the voices leave
C D
I can finally put it on my sleeve
G D Em
Oo-oh, if only they’d really seen it
D Am
Maybe they would finally believe me
Em
When I say I’ve won
C D
And my father gets to see his son
Em D C
That he can feel proud of
Em D C
He can feel proud of
G
He’s proud of me
[Verse 2]

G
All I ever thought I’d be

But the way that I behaved

Could have seen quite the contrary
Am
I felt all the lives
G
They’re out of sight
Am
I’ve been on my worst behaviour
Em C D C
Been on my worst behaviour
[Chorus]
G
If only it ain’t been like this
Am
Now I can hold my heart in a fist

And all the voices leave
C D
I can finally put it on my sleeve
G D Em
Oo-oh, if only they’d really seen it

Maybe they would finally believe me

When I say I’ve won
C D
And my mother gets to see her son

That she can feel proud of
