Verse 1:

Em11                       F#
You've seen my attempts to leave
                       A                                     Em11                   F#
And poor excuses for a personality, in a personality crisis, I swear I'm not always like this
                     A
Sometimes I just get selfish and win

And it's hard to pretend that I'm here
Em11                        F#
I heard you're leaving next week
                               A
Bet you'll be back home by the spring

I've heard a million different things
                        Em11    F#
Hey what's really going on?
                        A
Hey what's really going on?


Chorus:
                C#          B           C#           B           A
Cause I've been hoping like hell we can find our way out of this mess

Verse 2:

Em11                       F#                            A
You've seen my attempts to speak on busted mornings like these
                                                        Em11
And we both know that they keep happening far too often lately
              F#                                A
I'm rarely on time cause I have nowhere else to be
                                                    Em11
It's like I'm stuck to this seat, seven days of the week
                     F#                           A
I've never felt this strong, I've never felt this broken
                                                     Em11
I never thought I would find, find what I was hoping to
F#                          A
And if you're choking I can stay

Chorus:

C#                          B
Cause I've been hoping like hell
C#                  B           A
We can find our way out of this mess
C#                   B           C#           B
Yeah I'm hoping like hell we can find our way out

Verse 3:

Em11                  F#
I've been a manic depressive
                      A
These days I'm always obsessing about how would I look in a mirror
Em11
I haven't slept in a week
         F#
Too much thinking to get done
          A
I haven't seen you all week

Well I've been stoned and you've been working
E
It's hard for me
F#
To watch you be
A
So unhappy when you're around me
E
It's hard for me
F#
To watch you be
A
So unhappy when you're around me

Chorus:

C#                  B           C#           B           A
And I'm hoping like hell we can find our way out of this mess
C#                   B           C#            A#m
Yeah I'm hoping like hell we can find our way out
A
Of this mess
A#m     A
Of this mess

Outro:

Em11                F#              A
It's hard for me to watch you be so unhappy when you're around me
Em11                F#              A
It's hard for me to watch you be so unhappy when you're around me
Em11                F#              A
It's hard for me to watch you be so unhappy when you're around me
Em11                F#              A
It's hard for me to watch you be so unhappy when you're around me
Em11                F#              A
It's hard for me to watch us be unhappy
