Chris Webby feat. Skrizzly Adams - Flawed

                [Intro]
Em                C                 D      Em
 It's hard to be scared of a little thunder
             Em              C                  D   Em
When you've spent your whole life waiting in the rain
Em            C                        D     Em
You reminisce, just grin, look back and wonder
Em            C                     D  Em
If you're ever gonna feel that way again
              D          Em           C
Yeah, but you sit all at home, you're waiting
         D          Em     C
But I've got a long way to go
          D            Em         C
Just hold on 'til the stars start fading
     D             Em     C
Just feel like I'm almost home
                 D        Em                C              Em
Yeah, there's no tendency that I can see to get you off my mind
         Em    C
I'm just flawed
             D
No, I'm just flawed
 
 
[Verse 1]
                       Em
Sirens went off in his head
      C
Still half-drunk in a foreign bed
          D                          Em
Said he'd be home after work, but he went to the bar instead
    Em                                C
And instead of with his wife, he woke up with this new acquaintance
   D                           Em
He met after seven shots and a couple of beers to chase it
Em                           C
Basically he was wasted, but there's always a choice
       D              Em
Reason chimed in, but he was ignoring the voice
    Em                            C
Now he's throwing on his wrinkled clothes
                          D
And he knows when he goes home to that glass house with these old stones
   Em                      C
He gonna put on this mask, kiss her neck and then ask
              D                       Em
"How was your night?" before she even has a chance to react
      Em                C
He'll be fine, it isn't like this is the first time
      D                    Em
Shit, everybody needs an occasion to unwind
        Em                     C
Ain't a crime to run away from things occasionally
           D                  Em
A way to release, that's just human nature and he
                Em                C
Pulled down the driveway, saw his daughter playing on the lawn
    D
And all his rationalization was gone
 
 
[Chorus]
Em        C           D       Em
I've been trying, but can't deny
           Em       C           D    Em
That these things I do, I can't justify
  Em      C                  D       Em
I feel it weighing while I'm by your side
    Em         C
I'm just flawed
          D
Yeah, I'm just flawed
 
 
[Verse 2]
       Em                    C
He was greeted with a orange juice and something to eat
      D                        Em
And a kiss on the cheek, as if he didn't just cheat
          Em                    C
Felt that shiver down his neck, that's the feeling of regret
       D                             Em
As she handed him his eggs, smelling whiskey on his breath
  Em                         C                       D
Before she had the chance to even ask him about last night
                    Em                                     Em
He said he had some drinks and crashed on the couch at the office
             C
All this was just an obvious lie
              D
And she could feel it in her gut, but said nothing as a reply
          Em                    C
She just stared at the man that she'd given everything to
        D                          Em
And the silence built into tension that enveloped the room
            Em                     C
'Til it was broken by the daughter saying
                     D                              Em
"Daddy come see this picture that I drew of you and mommy back when you seemed
        Em
So much happier
      C
Is anything wrong? Am I in trouble?"
     D                   Em
"No, everything is fine" they said "We both love you"
Em                          C
And they both smiled as the moment occurred
             D
Like they forgot how fucking broken they were
 
 
[Chorus]
Em        C           D       Em
I've been trying, but can't deny
           Em       C           D    Em
That these things I do, I can't justify
  Em      C                  D       Em
I feel it weighing while I'm by your side
    Em         C
I'm just flawed
          D
Yeah, I'm just flawed
 
 
[Verse 3]
                      Em
He stood there in the shower
          C
With the steam filling his lungs
          D                     Em
As if the water could wash away all the shit that he'd done
          Em                    C
He let it run, deep in thought about when he was young
            D                    Em
Got out and looked in the mirror back at the man he'd become
       Em                  C
Then he opened the door to see his wife on the bed
       D                          Em
On the verge of tears, looked him in the eyes and instead
          Em                          C
Of saying anything, she threw him his phone with a text read
       D
But instead of more lies, he just looked at her and said
 
 
[Chorus]
Em        C           D       Em
I've been trying, but can't deny
           Em       C           D    Em
That these things I do, I can't justify
  Em      C                  D       Em
I feel it weighing while I'm by your side
    Em         C
I'm just flawed
          D
Yeah, I'm just flawed
Em        C           D       Em
I've been trying, but can't deny
           Em       C           D    Em
That these things I do, I can't justify
  Em      C                  D       Em
I feel it weighing while I'm by your side
    Em         C
I'm just flawed
          D
Yeah, I'm just flawed
