Intro:

E

Verse 1:
E                           B/D#       C#m
First things first, you'll wake to the morning birds
        B           A               E
They're making me anxious, chirpin' me
                 B                      A
They know I'm ashamed 'cause I'm still awake
     E                    B/D#         C#m
Do I sleep enough? Well, I can't get enough of the stuff
   B          A
It seems only fitting
         E                B                    A
The only way to put me at ease is so tough to achieve

Pre-Chorus:
      C#m        A            E
You told me "Bad people don't think they're bad
              B            C#m
They wouldn't care if they could"
    A              E
But shouldn't good people be
   B              C#m
Be certain they're good?

Chorus:
       A       E
I know I'm overthinking this
          B      C#m    A
But fuck, maybe I should
                  E    B
Put my flaws into focus
                    A
It was then I understood

[Interlude]
E B/D#  C#m B A E B A E

Verse 2:
        E
Didn't lose my faith
    B/D#       C#m
No, I've always been this way
        B                A              E
There's proof that I'm living, that I exist
                       B                      A
But don't believe in myself, to play devil's advocate
               E/G#   E
But you wish I was naive
     B/D#            C#m
So I could take you seriously
              B         A
When you're constantly talking sweet
                E                      G#
I don't trust a word, but I don't even care
                    A
'Cause none of them hurt

Pre-Chorus:
      C#m         A            E
You told me "Bad people don't think they're bad
              B             C#m
They wouldn't care if they could"
      A             E
But shouldn't good people be
    B              C#m
Be certain they're good?

Chorus:
        A       E
I know I'm overthinking this
            B      C#m   A
But fuck, maybe I should
                      E    B
You are lost in translation
                 A
You are misunderstood

Bridge 1:
         C#m                         E
When you cut to my core, you figured it'd be warm
             A               E                          B/D#
You come to terms that I'm devoid of what you came here for
        C#m                      E
You are not consistent, nothing of the sort
                 A
When you've been ice, and steam, and water
               E     B
And I've loved every form

[Instrumental]
C#m E A E B/D#

Bridge 2:
               C#m                     E
And when the light pollution eats the stars you like best
             A                               E              B/D#
Then I will map new constellations with your freckles and specks
           C#m                          E
Had a soft spot for you, in a place I knew you'd check
                A                               E      B/D#
Make sure that when you do, your damage, it is permanent

[Instrumental]
C#m E A E B/D# x2

Bridge 3:
         C#m                        E
You are not my blood, just conjured kindred spirits
        A                                      E       B/D#
I manifest you are my friend, but you're not superstitious
              C#m                     E
And now your name is a rumour or an ancient legend
             A                                   E              B/D#
Being passed down through generations until it's lost its whole message

[Instrumental]
C#m E A E B/D# x2

Outro:
        C#m                     E
I was a morning person till you spent days sleeping
           A                               E         B/D#
Days and nights behind blinds was all the change we needed
         C#m                      E
Said I'd die for you, and now I'm sure that I will
        A                     E        B/D#   C#m
On any day I may pass, in any way I am killed

C#m A E
C#m A E B/D#
