Growing Sideways chords by Noah Kahan

🎸 Verse 1:
       G                       Bm
So I took my medication and I poured my trauma out
          C
On some sad-eyed middle aged man's overpriced new leather couch
        Em                           G
And we argued about Jesus, finally found some middle ground
          C
I said "I'm cured"



🎸 Verse 2:
         G                      Bm
And I divvied up my anger into thirty separate parts
           C
Keep the bad **** in my liver, and the rest around my heart
           Em                             G
I'm still angry at my parents, for what their parents did to them
             C
But it's a start

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
              Em                  G
But I ignore things, and I move sideways
             C                           G
Until I forget what I felt in the first place
                    C                   G                      D
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive


🎸 Chorus:
                    Em
'Cause everyone's growing
                 G
And everyone's healthy
            C                             G
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
            C                       G
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
                D
I guess I'll drive
                G
I guess I'll drive


🎸 Verse 3:
          G
So I forgot my medications
      Bm
Fell into a manic high
           C
Spent my savings at a Lulu
Now I'm suffering in style
       Em
Why's pain so **** impatient?
                  G
Ain't like it's got a place to be
        C
Keeps rushing me


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
              Em                  G
But I ignore things, and I move sideways
             C                           G
Until I forget what I felt in the first place
                    C                   G                      D
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive


🎸 Chorus:
                    Em
'Cause everyone's growing
                  G
And everyone's healthy
            C                             G
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
            C                      G
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
                D
I guess I'll drive


🎸 Bridge:
         C                G
And if all my life was wasted
         Em                  D
I don't mind
I'll watch it go
            C            G                   D
Yeah it's better to die numb than feel it all
        C                G
Oh if all my time was wasted
         Em                D
I don't mind
I watch it go
            C            G                   D
Yeah it's better to die numb than feel it all


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
               Em                  G
But I ignore things, and I move sideways
             C                           G
Until I forget what I felt in the first place
                    C                       G                      D
At the end of the day lord knows there are worse ways to stay alive


🎸 Chorus:
                    Em
'Cause everyone's growing
                 G
And everyone's healthy
            C                             G
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
            C                       G
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
                D
I guess I'll drive
                G
I guess I'll drive
