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

We're trying to get through each week
F#m
On two or three hours of sleep

I say to be patient

That we're going to make it
G
I have to admit that I'm struggling

G
They say take it slow

So they won't know that

I make the most awkward joke

Too dark to be funny
