Verse 1:

            E
Some people lash out

B        A
Some people shrink

                  E
I think that it's too soon

I turn it all inwards

B                          A
They say that's what makes you sad

But I'm not a kid now

And you're not from the past

Verse 3:

                 C#m
Don't know why I do it

B                 A
I'm a bird with a broken wing

                    C#m
I need something to care about

B                 A
I need someone to care for me

                 C#m
Do you want some company

B                A
Do you need some comforting

                C#m
And I will take care of you

B               A
But not if it's bad for me

You know if I have to

                 B
I'll kill off my better self

'Cause you gotta protect yourself

It's-- it's not your job to make me well

     B        F#m    A       E
It's not your job to make me well

   B               F#m
My job to make you well

     A        E        B      F#m
It's not your job it's not my job

   A        E
To make you well
