♫ Intro:

D


♫ 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

♫ 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


♫ 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
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


♫ Verse 2:
D                                     Bm
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


♫ Pre-Chorus:
  Bm                 A
I do the dishes and tend the garden
D                  G
Soften up where I used to harden
                   A     D
And take a moonlit walk


♫ 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
Bm                    F#m
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


♫ 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
