Bm F#m E


Verse 1:

Bm
She said, "Are you okay?"
F#m
And I'm staring into space
E

It's making her nervous cause one thing is certain
        E
I don't have my head on straight
Bm
We're trying to get through each week
F#m
On two or three hours of sleep
E
I say to be patient
     E
That we're going to make it
                               G
I have to admit that I'm struggling


Pre-Chorus:
G
They say take it slow
Bm
But the world keeps spinning
                     F#m
And that I don't control
F#m
And so there I go
E
Trying to act normal
E
So they won't know that


Chorus:

Bm                 F#m            E
I'm just trying to hold my shit together
  E
Together, darling
Bm                 F#m            E
I'm just trying to hold my shit together

Together, darling


Verse 2:

Bm
They say that they sympathize
F#m
I'm grateful they take the time
E
But bringing it up at this six year old birthday
         E
It kinda fucks up my vibe
Bm
We end on an awkward note
F#m
I make the most awkward joke
E
Too dark to be funny
  E
I shouldn't have come, it'd be weird to go home
              G
And I'm struggling


Pre-Chorus:

G
They say take it slow
Bm
But the world keeps spinning
                     F#m
And that I don't control
F#m
And so there I go
E
Trying to act normal
E
So they won't know

Bm                 F#m            E
I'm just trying to hold my shit together

I'm just trying to hold my shit together

Together, darling
