🎸 Intro:

C majorC


🎸 Verse 1:
G+G           E minorEm
- I don't even have a guest room yet
C majorC
- How can I expect to die like that?
    G+G           E minorEm
With space that's shared and rent that's due
      C majorC
When it's still my turn to vacuum
G+G         E minorEm
- I lived past my first line in the dirt
C majorC
- Never thought my twenties could come first
   G+G              E minorEm
I've talked too many friends down over the phone
    C majorC
Not to meet up at our next milestone

🎸 Chorus:
    E minorEm      BB
If I'm -- gonna be somebody
  G+G      A augmentedA
Deliberately alive
         C majorC
I want to do it right


🎸 Verse 2:
G+G            E minorEm
- I pay somebody on the internet
C majorC
- To talk through things I don't know how to fix
     G+G        E minorEm
But it's all exercises in buoyancy
    C majorC
Not insured for the help that I need
G+G        E minorEm
- And I give myself fat lips
C majorC
- Chewin' out my cheeks when I'm anxious
     G+G              E minorEm
So I've told a few friends who say, "Be gentle, kid"
     C majorC
But that only works some of the time

🎸 Chorus:
    E minorEm      BB
If I'm -- gonna be somebody
  G+G      A augmentedA
Deliberately alive
        C majorC
How do I do it right?

 G+G        A minorAm       C majorC
Guess I'll take whatever comes first
