Chords with lyrics
C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
O-oh O-o-oh
G+G
I havent figured out a decent word
FF
To take the lead of the phrase to describe this thought
G+G
It's a word with a "dis-" like a thick disorder
FF
A augmentedA disease, disappointment, disaster, distraught
C majorC
Disruptive and draining,
D MajorD FF
The paint on the walls of my brain is all flakey and peeling away
C majorC
Foundation is shaking
D MajorD
Through smiles that im faking
FF
Im achingly trying to get through each day
G+G C majorC D MajorD
These struggles are backed by the fact that compassion is lacking
G+G C majorC FF
Like the true definition of real understanding falls flat
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Theres a sky up above but I see it all shaking and cracking
G+G D MajorD
Through the cracks I see no answer
E minorEm G+G
I dont know where im at
N.C.You're probably wondering, "uh why?
N.C.Why would you wanna kill yourself?"
N.C.Uh that's a great question
N.C.It's like I hear this relentless buzzing, and it just gets louder, and louder and LOUBER
G+G
As it start to build, you cant look down
FF
Standing off, clench your jaw, you lost sight of normal
G+G
Try to stay somewhere safe like your childhood memories
FF G+G FF
Too bad you cant escape the mental thunderstorm
G+G
The days on repeat,
D MajorD
Every week with a shrink
G+G FF
Face-to-face with a doctor whose interest depleted
G+G D MajorD
Sessions complete with the same stupid question
G+G FF
All therapists ask without skipping a beat
G+G
With zero finesse,
D MajorD
Every shrink has expressed
FF G+G
Their endorsement of pills that make life less depressing
G+G
Addressing my stresses
D MajorD
And pressures
G+G D MajorD FF
Subjectively seems like what doctors might do when theyre guessing
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Seventeen years and emotions are scattered and raging
E minorEm C majorC
Numbing the pain with the pill
G+G
Till stabilitys flat
FF C majorC D MajorD
But numbing the pain is just dumbing me down, nothings changing
G+G D MajorD
Im staring blankly at the walls
E minorEm G+G
I dont know where im at
N.C.And you think!
N.C.Getting older will make ALL of this easier.
N.C.It doesnt.
N.C.Getting older just means more responsibilities.
N.C.And more responsibilities, less help.
D MajorD E minorEm
Frustrations turn into a dim-lit light
C majorC
On in the middle of a room at night
G+G
Cant see the little bit of glow,

If we might need a little middle-of-a-road

I guess you had to be there
D MajorD C majorC
I guess you had to be there
E minorEm G+G

FF C majorC
Where youre force-fed what they hand you
FF C majorC
Where your friends dont understand you
E minorEm G+G
Wrong or right, no one seems to bother asking
C majorC D MajorD G+G
If we might need a little middle-of-the-road
D MajorD
How could you know
E minorEm G+G
Just where im at
FF C majorC
Where your friends dont care about you
FF C majorC
Where theyre better off without you
E minorEm G+G
Look at where im at

Where your mom and dad dont get you
FF C majorC
Try to live but then forget to
C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
Oh O-oh O-o-oh

C majorC
Can you blame me?
E minorEm
I know this cant be right
D MajorD
I stomach down and no wonder I lost my appetite

No one keeps me up at night
N.C.They think they know whats best for me
N.C.But they dont know

E minorEm G+G
(Where im at!)
N.C.I have enough anxiety to fill a crater in the moon. And im running out of options.
N.C.Or maybe, ive already run out.
E minorEm
Burnt-down light, up in the attic

Thats just life, thrown in the middle of a
C majorC
Losing fight,

Stuck but theyre forcing us to grow
D MajorD

Dim-lit light

Cant see the little bit of glow

No one seems to bother asking if we might

Need a little middle-of-the-road
D MajorD
How could you know?
