Intro:


Em C G Asus2 (x2)


Verse 1:

Em      C
Find my place everywhere
G       Asus2              Em
Yet somehow I can't pay my rent
        C
Too clueless to be scared
G        Asus2              Em
Don't wanna think in future tense
        C
I swear I'll lose my head
G    Asus2           Em
If I stop even for a second
      C
Think of what ya said
G             Asus2
Nothing worth it's ever easy

Chorus:

C     G         Em         D         C
Leave it all to me just to lose my way
  G              Em        D
I swear that I'm trying to change
C    G         Em         D
Lose myself in the little things you say
C          G               Em         D
This isn't worth it, we're failing on purpose

Em C G Asus2 (x2)


Verse 2:
Em       C
Still pocket all the hate
G       Asus2            Em
Despite the best of my intentions
     C
Hard to overstate
G       Asus2           Em
How bad I needed this direction
    C
All I do is care
G     Asus2             Em
Never content with my invention
      C
Stuck in summer's glare
G           Asus2
Progress we won't even mention

Chorus:

C     G         Em         D         C
Leave it all to me just to lose my way
  G              Em        D
I swear that I'm trying to change
C    G         Em         D
Lose myself in the little things you say
C          G               Em         D
This isn't worth it, we're failing on purpose

C G Em D


Bridge:
                C        G
Too stubborn to let this go
                  Em      D
Just tell me what I don't know
                    C         G
Drag me through the highs and lows
            Em    D
Make a mess of me
                  C         G
Just know that my checkered past
                  Em         D
Leads me to think love won't last
            C       G
Ideals that I can't grasp
            Em       D            C   G Em
Leave me bittersweet and homesick here
 D              C  G Em D
(And homesick here)

Chorus:

C     G         Em         D         C
Leave it all to me just to lose my way
  G              Em        D
I swear that I'm trying to change
Em   C         G          Asus2
Lose myself in the little things you say
Em         C               G         Asus2
This isn't worth it, we're failing on purpose
     Em         C               G          Asus2       Em
Hey, this isn't worth it, we're failing on purpose
