β« Intro:
D
β« Verse 1:
D Bm D
Build a pillow barricade so the ghosts can't get to me
G D
Twenty-something instincts, feel like a deadbeat dad
Bm D
Never there when it counts and puts you right in therapy
G D A
Life is a gamble, baby, and you'll have to live with that
β« Pre-Chorus:
Bm A
Oh, but I'll be fine 'cause I always end up
D G
Just fine, then I call a friend up
Bm A
That's just how it is
β« Chorus:
D
And I wake up tired and vaguely sore
Bm D
Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored
G D A
Full-sending a lot, only halfway sure

Walking around with heirloom pain
Bm D
Dad's temper and Mom's mistakes
G D A
And always afraid to fall flat on my face
D Bm
But doing it anyway
G D A
I'm doing it anyway

Walls up to the skies, many men have marched around
F# G D A
To no avail, there's Achilles, then there's his God-forsaken heel

I do the dishes and tend the garden
D G
Soften up where I used to harden
A D
And take a moonlit walk
β« Chorus:
D
And I wake up tired and vaguely sore
Bm D
Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored
G D A
Full-sending a lot, only halfway sure
D
Walking around with heirloom pain

Grandma left but her heartache stayed
G D A
And now I'm always afraid to take up space
D A Bm
Yet doing it anyway
F#m G D A
I'm doing it anyway, oh
β« Outro:
D
People fall in love and fuck up
Bm D
And have kids who fall in love and fuck up
G D
Who have kids that fall in love
A
And have you
D
People fall in love and fuck up
D
We all fall in love and fuck up
N.D .
You will fall in love and fuck up too
