[@amorales6117]

For everyone asking for the chords i figured them out
Tuning is (low to high) DGCFAD
once you tune to that you have to detune the low D string just a little (not enough to hit C# just an out of tune low D) and then retune to that low string
These are all bar chords
Intro: EMaj
Verse: Emaj-G#minor-F#maj
Chorus 1: Emaj-C#minor--G#minor-Bmaj
Emaj- C#minor-G#minor-F#maj
Verse: (same as above)
Little pre-chorus: Emaj-C#minor-Bmaj
Chorus 2: Emaj-C#minor-G#minor-Bmaj x2
End on: Emaj

love this version of the song

[@anglegirl8663]

👍

[@amitylodevico503]

When you realize this song hits harder when it is targetting your weakness to appreciate your sense of self rather than the standard insecurities endured in relationsips.

[@theokaypepe]

BRUH!!!!! His voice almost made me cry! Hot damn his voice is an angel😍😍😍😍

[@0sadki]

this video is a kind of free therapy for me. i rewatch it occasionally and it actually helps me. really love the nbhd.

[@kimmylo2]

This song in this version, makes me happy to be alive

[@kelceyburnette8871]

They never disappoint.

[@haleywatts9547]

The only thing i don't like about this is that lyrics were left out to keep the song to a normal length (i'm assuming), because my favorite line is "sell your soul, not your whole self" but other than that everything is great. His vocals, the guitar, Jesse's hair.

[@millatuti8099]

he actually mentioned in an interview that he forgets the lyrics a lot of the time xD

[@haleywatts9547]

milla tuti well then i guess i'll forgive him (;

[@sanulibuddhipala7320]

He missed out my favourite part where he says "I can't even see if it's all there anymore" in a really high pitch

[@shendyannesmana3291]

omg i already died!! This man kills me

[@luiscoronarodriguez331]

When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
[Verse 1]
Make that money, fake that bunny, ache my tummy
On the fence, all the time
Paid junk honey, your face so sunny, ain't that funny?
All my friends always lie to me, I know they're thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
You're too mean, I don't like you
Fuck you, anyway
You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs
It hurts but, I won't fight you
You suck, anyway
You make me want to die, right when I
[Chorus]
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might end up being me
(Being me, being me)
[Verse 2]
Keep on dreaming, don't stop breathing, fight those demons
Sell your soul, not your whole self
Oh, if they see it when you're sleeping, make them leave it
And I can't even see if there's hope there, anymore
So
[Pre-Chorus]
You're too mean, I don't like you
Fuck you, anyway
You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs
It hurts but, I won't fight you
You suck, anyway
You make me want to die, right when I
[Chorus]
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might end up being me
(Being me, being me)
Bridge]
Being me can only mean feeling scared to breathe
If you leave me, then I'll be afraid of everything
That makes me anxious, gives me patience
Calms me down, lets me face this, let me sleep
And when I wake up, let me be
[Chorus]
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up, I'm afraid
Somebody else might end up being me
(Being me, being me)
