• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: C

Intro:
C  Am  F  G  (repeat)

Verse:
      C                     Am
Woke up feeling good so I'm writing this song
      F                  G
That was a lie– I didn't sleep at all
      C                       Am
Last night I called up a friend to validate my woes
      F                    G
Think I have a bad case of imposter syndrome

      C                     Am
These days, I'm not liking myself
      F
Do I just fake it till I make it?
G

I'm afraid I never will
      C                       Am
These days, all I can say is
     F             G
Life is strange, I'll just ride it out anyway

[Pre‑Chorus]
C             Am               F
Stuck in a pit that I dug myself in,
           G
nothing new just me befriending my tears

Chorus:
        C               Am
I feel bad for canceling plans
      F                     G
It's hard to stay when you don't have a say
        C                Am
And all you do is dissociate
     F                 G
I know that I'm better than this
     C                      Am
Just trying to figure out

      F                         G
These days, I'm not feeling myself
       C                       Am
I try to act calm when it's too loud,

I just tend to freak out
      F
These days, I just can't seem to
G
shake off the wrongs
     C           Am            F
Is it wrong to feel this way? There's
G
just so much I can take, oh

[Outro Chorus]
C            Am
Life is strange,
         F       G
I'll just ride it out anyway
