Verse 1:
     A minorAm
I'm on an overcrowded train

Fighting an overcrowded brain
G+G       FF
And all these bags under my eyes

Hold up my compromise

  E minorEm
And maybe I should bail on everything, anything

Did you not learn anything in school?
FF
Could have played by the rules
G+G
 Could be happy in a different way

A minorAm
 Struggling with the London rent
                   G+G
They said it would be hard now I know what they meant
    FF
I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl

But I’m here for the music, I know
  E minorEm
Distracted!

Can I say what I mean, can I mean what I say
FF               G+G
 Why can’t I figure out how I feel when I wake up everyday


Pre-Chorus:
 DmDm
I face everything with the same old logic
G+G                 E minorEm
Overanalysing everything is tragic
  DmDm
And maybe some things they will never make sense
   G+G
So I tackle it all

But I'm not making a dent, no


Chorus:
FF
 And I think my brain is breaking
C/GC/G       G+G             FF
 And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming

It’s frustrating
C/GC/G        G+G
I just wanna know why

FF
 And I know no good will come of it
C/GC/G       G+G              FF Csus4Csus4
 I wish that I could just be done with it

But I’m sinking
C/GC/G        G+G           FF Csus4Csus4
I just wanna know why I’m overthinking
      C/GC/G
No, no, and I just wanna know
G+G           FF Csus4Csus4
I just wanna know why
      C/GC/G        G+G
Oh, oh and I just wanna know why


Verse 2:
    A minorAm
I'm an outkast, to be left behind
              G+G
I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind
     FF
There's a danger

That I might just pour my heart out to a total stranger
   E minorEm
In a bar


And they're not gonna wanna hear

No, they're just there to sip their beer
  FF
Not hear about problems to solve
   G+G
And “God this girl's so self involved”

 Am7Am7
I play it out my head

I'm trying to make good choices
 G+G
I hear voices
FF
 They can't pick one side

Help! I look so stupid
           E minorEm
Sitting there tongue tied


Meltdown! All I can hear

Is code red, code red
FF                 G+G
 Got a problem in the control centre

In my own head


Pre-Chorus:
DmDm
Facing the world with the same old logic
G+G                 E minorEm
Overanalysing everything is tragic
  DmDm
And maybe some things they will never make sense
   G+G
So I tackle it all

But I'm not making a dent, no


Chorus:
FF
 And I think my brain is breaking
C/GC/G       G+G             FF
 And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming

It’s frustrating
C/GC/G        G+G
I just wanna know why

FF
 And I know no good will come of it
C/GC/G       G+G              FF Csus4Csus4
 I wish that I could just be done with it

But I’m sinking
C/GC/G        G+G           FF Csus4Csus4
I just wanna know why I’m overthinking
      C/GC/G
No, no, and I just wanna know
G+G           FF Csus4Csus4
I just wanna know why
      C/GC/G        G+G
No, no and I just wanna know why
