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
