Gmaj7 Em x2
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 Em
I don't think that I've been sleeping quite right
Gmaj7 Em Am
Because I can feel the muscles in my neck start to get tight
D Gmaj7 Em
When I try to move my head around
Gmaj7 Em
And I don't think that I've been eating like I should
Gmaj7 Em Am
Because I had my first cavity in years, I didn't think that I would
D Gmaj7 Em
Sink this much closer to the ground
[Chorus 1]
Am D
Because I am sick of sitting here,
G D C
In the same place that I was 3 weeks ago
Am D G D C
Because all I ever end up doing is singing every song that I forgot I wrote
Am D
And I don't know how you can take it
G D Em
Because it feels like it's been eternity
Am D Gmaj7 Em Gmaj7 Em
Now I'm laying face down on the floor, God I'm so so sick of being bored
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7 Em
I don't know if I miss working a job
Gmaj7 Em Am
but god it was so nice to see my bank account balance go up
D Gmaj7 Em
instead of slowly draining out
Gmaj7 Em
And I don't know if I miss driving to class
Gmaj7 Em Am
but at least if I was late I had an excuse that wasn't quite as
D Gmaj7 Em
depressing to try and talk about
[Chorus 2]
Am D G D C
'Cause I am sick of sitting here in the same place that I was 3 months ago
Am D G D C
And I don’t want to write another song ‘cus its the only way that I know how to cope
Am D G D Em
And I know you can't stand it either but honey ain’t it better to be clean
Am D Gmaj7 Em Gmaj7 Em
Didn't think I'd miss going to the store, god I'm so sick of being bored
[Verse 3]
Gmaj7 Em
I think that I am having deja vu
Gmaj7 Em Am
‘cus this feels exactly like how I spent high school stuck in my room
D
GOD I'M SO SICK OF BEING-
Am D G D C
I'm so sick of sitting here in the same place that I was 3 years ago
Am D G D C
1 step forward 3 steps back and I am drowning just to try to stay afloat
Am D G D Em
And I know that you can see me flailing but you can't swim any better than I can
Am D
I don't do anything anymore / (you don’t do things anymore)
Am D
Just lay in bed until I’m sort of tired again / (just lay in bed)
Am D
Forgot how to use the door
Gmaj7
God I’m so sick of being bored!
