This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 1

Eb Bb

When I was young I was so full of fear

I hid behind anger and held back the tears

It was me against the world and I was sure that I'd win

F Ab

But the world fought back punished me for my sins

And they tried to warn me of my evil ways

But I couldn't hear what they had to say

How can you love when you don't love yourself

Eb Bb

It was me against the world I was sure that I'd win

But the world fought back punished me for my sins

But I couldn't hear what they had to say
