[Verse 1]
A
How did I get here
D9
Who did I trick
A
It was a slow burn
D9
It happened too quick
F#m
I hit rock bottom
D A
Then something just clicked
F E D
And now I'm choking on the leftovers of the kid I used to be
A
And I feel sick
[Verse 2]
A
It is a practice
D9
Taking up space
A
I'll drive the car in the fast lane
D9 A
At my own pace
F#m
I'll cut the curtains
D A
But you know I'll leave the drapes
F E D A
And I'll start to like staring at the crooked smile on my own face
[Chorus]
A C#m
I'm coughing it up
D
I'm drinking it down
Dm
I'm gonna plant both feet on the ground
A C#m
I'm taking it in
D Dm
I'm letting it go
A C#m
If you're not taking the hint
D
I'm telling you no
Dm A
And I'm not laughing at your goddamn jokes
C#m D
I'm not running in your race
Dm A C#m D
But I'm taking up space
Dm A C#m D
I'm taking up space
Dm
[Chorus]
A C#m
I'm coughing it up
D
I'm drinking it down
Dm
I'm gonna plant both feet on the ground
A C#m
I'm taking it in
D Dm
I'm letting it go
A C#m
If you're not taking the hint
D
I'm telling you no
Dm A
And I'm not laughing at your goddamn jokes
C#m D
I'm not running in your race
Dm A C#m
But I'm taking up space
D Dm
I'm taking up space
A
