Intro: D  Bm      A  G

D       Bm
Found a cheap therapist
        A
Started taking vitamins
     G
And gave up on all my friends
D        Bm
I bought some self help books
A        G
Stopped giving myself dirty looks
                       D
And started breathing again
Bm                          A
Got really into dirty martinis
G
Stuck a rainbow key chain on my rear view
D   Bm
To remind myself the pot of gold
A   G
Is always just up the road

D     Bm     A    G
Bottom line, I survived yeah
D     Bm             A    G
Spent all year being so dramatic
D     Bm
It was sad and I was lonely
 A    G
But I'm standing here alive in this moment
D     Bm
Why's it gotta be, why's it gotta be
  A    G
Tragic, tragic

D       Bm
In the spirit of full disclosure
A   G
After 5 years it was over, moved out,
 D       Bm
Found an apartment across town
            A   G
Wrote a whole album about it, called my sister to cry about it
  D       Bm                                          A
And listened to Chris Martin sing "Magic" for the 99th time
G                             D
Left my heart in two dozen states
    Bm                                 A
And got a credit card, couldn't pay it off
 G
Guess sometimes you just surprise yourself
N.C
With what you do to move on


D     Bm     A    G
Bottom line, I survived yeah
D     Bm             A    G
Spent all year being so dramatic

Why's it gotta be, why's it gotta be

But some day, some day, I'm gonna be okay, okay
