• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: C

Intro:

C            Am         Dm
 (Audrey, your songs are so sad, you should try to be more optimistic)
G
 (Okay!)


Verse 1:
 C              Am
I don’t make any money cause I don’t have a job
    Dm      G
but at least I still live with my parents

     C               Am
There’s a crack in my windshield that’s two years old
    Dm           G
but at least the glass hasn’t broken and killed me

 C          Am
A deer hit my car and dented my door
    Dm        G
but at least I’m not the one who died

  C       Am
My life has no trajectory
       Dm              G
but when I’m able to distract myself
I’m not in constant misery

Chorus:
C      Am       Dm
Every time I mention how my life sucks
G        C
I’m told to just smile
   Am     Dm    G
They tell me I’m wrong
C       Am   Dm     G
I feel like my life is completely fucked up
C   Am   Dm     G     C
but at least I wrote this optimistic song
      Am       Dm       G
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Verse 2:
C         Am     Dm     G       C
I’ve learned that if you tell anyone over 30 that you’re sad
    Am     Dm      G      C
They’ll send you an email with a list of affirmations
  Am         Dm     G      C
or tell you that their yoga class meets every Thursday
  Am     Dm          G
or going for a walk is a reason for celebration (What !)

Chorus:
C      Am       Dm
Every time I mention how my life sucks
G        C
I’m told to just smile
   Am     Dm    G
They tell me I’m wrong
C       Am   Dm     G
I feel like my life is completely fucked up
C   Am   Dm     G     C
but at least I wrote this optimistic song
      Am       Dm       G
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Verse 2:
C       Am
Yay! You drank water
Dm         G
Yay! You got out of bed
C          Am       Dm          G
Yay! You’ve stopped telling me the thoughts inside your head
C        Am           Dm        G
Instagram and TikTok accounts post their perfect daily routine
       C          Am         Dm    G
While they’re probably not taking their own advice behind the screen

Chorus:
C      Am       Dm
Every time I mention how my life sucks
G        C
I’m told to just smile
   Am     Dm    G
They tell me I’m wrong
C       Am   Dm     G
I feel like my life is completely fucked up
C   Am   Dm     G     C
but at least I wrote this optimistic song
      Am       Dm       G
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
      C
la la la la la
