Em G Cadd9
[Verse 1]
Em G
I thought I had something
Cadd9 G Em
And that's the same as having something, I get mad at nothing
G Cadd9 Em
Blame my dad for something, I pull no punches, then be mad for months
G Cadd9 G
But I was raised better, tried to fake better, and to blame weather,
Em G Cadd9
And escape better, hope the skin heals where the pain enters
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
But I finally got sewed up,
Cadd9 G
set a time then I showed up
Em G Cadd9
And now the weight of the world ain't that bad
[Chorus]
Em G Cadd9 G
Well I saw the end, it looked just like the middle
Em G Cadd9
got a paper and pen and a page with no space
Em G Cadd9 G
I filled the hole in my head with prescription medication
Em G Cadd9
Then forgot how to cry, who am I to complain?
Em G Cadd9 G
Em G Cadd9
[Verse 2]
Em G Cadd9 G Em
And now the pain's different, it still exists, It just escapes different, and evades
vision
G Cadd9 G
Makes the rain different, makes the news boring, and my rage distant
Em G
Yes I'm young and living dreams,
Cadd9 G
in love with being noticed, and afraid of being seen
Em G
But I can fall asleep, and I can finally eat,
Cadd9
it's fine, it’s fine, fine
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
But I finally got sewed up,
Cadd9 G
set a time then I showed up
Em G Cadd9
And now the weight of the world ain't that bad
[Chorus]
Em G Cadd9 G
Well I saw the end, it looked just like the middle
Em G Cadd9
got a paper and pen and a page with no space
Em G Cadd9 G
I filled the hole in my head with prescription medication
Em G Cadd9 Em G Cadd9 G
Then forgot how to cry, who am I? Who am I to complain?
Em G Cadd9
To complain
Em G Cadd9
To complain
Em
To complain
[Chorus]
Em G Cadd9 G
I saw the end, it looked just like the middle
Em G Cadd9
got a paper and pen (but I cant feel the pain?)
