G
Having trouble with
myself these days
Em
I'm caged by my
despondent ways

I wake up late

leave early

But it's the crux

of me to communicate
G
cryptically But I
always speak softly
Em Am C
when I'm talking to you
verse 2:
G
My friends and my habits
Em
so they stick to me like glue
G
But I always speak freely
Em
when I'm venting to you

But it's no consolation

for the way that I act
Am
I will push you away
C
I will push you back
[Refrão]

And you say
"You should get

your shit together
You could be so much

better If you just get

you're shit together"

you're right
verse 3:
G
You see the ugly
Em
parts I wish you
G
never knew It's
hard to sit and hide
Em
when I'm always seeking
Am
you Will you love me
C
still if I can't get
Am
out of bed? Will you
love me still with
C
these sick thoughts
in my head?
[Refrão]
G
And I should get my
Em
shit together I could

be so much better if
I just get my shit
