about

Sometimes we feel like we’re the only one who feels the way we do. Reflecting over the mistakes I've made, Clay is about how despite the discomfort, my mistakes are an important part of transformation and part of being human.

lyrics

Intro
|: F#min7 | Dmaj9 :|


Verse 1
Hang me up to dry
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |
That’s me on the outside
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |
Wear my shoes and walk away
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |
Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
Verse 2
Watch the shells collide
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |
That’s me on the inside
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |
Chased by the tide you’ll I’ll sink to the bay
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |


Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
Chorus/bridge
Some days, I hate the mistakes that I’ve made
Bmin Dmaj | Amaj Emaj9|
I’ll keep them close, so nobody will ever be afraid
Bmin Dmaj | Amaj Emaj9|
Some days I think I’m made out of clay
F#min7 Amaj | Dmaj |
Like I’m the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
Like I’m the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |

Instrumental
|: F#min7 | Dmaj9 :|


Verse 3
Swallowed my tears, I liked the taste
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |
All the things I could have faced
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |
Smile at the sky when it turns to grey
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |
Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
Verse 4
Found a creature, it lives in my chest
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |
Maybe it needs a little rest
| F#min7 Gmaj6 | Dmaj9 |
Wear my shoes and walk away
| F#min7 | Dmaj9 |
Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |


Chorus/bridge
Some days, I hate the mistakes that I’ve made
Bmin Dmaj | Amaj Emaj9|
I’ll keep them close, so nobody will ever be afraid
Bmin Dmaj | Amaj Emaj9|
Some days I think I’m made out of clay
F#min7 Amaj | Dmaj |
Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
Like you’re the only one that’s ever felt this way
| Emaj9 | Dmaj9 |
