G+G    D/F#D/F#
I cannot speed it up
  A augmentedA       E minorEm
But I can slow it down
G+G      D/F#D/F#      A augmentedA
The pace at which I let it all spill out
G+G      D/F#D/F#
I am staring at the exit
 A augmentedA        E minorEm
I know the pathway to the door
G+G    D/F#D/F#     A augmentedA
But everybody knows I love a detour

♫ Pre-Chorus:

I'm throwing tantrums
  D MajorD          B minorBm  A augmentedA   G+G
I'm picking fights with everyone I love

Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
A augmentedA       G+G      D/F#D/F#

Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder

♫ Verse 2:
G+G     D/F#D/F#        A augmentedA        E minorEm
I liked it when I slammed the car door in your face
G+G     D/F#D/F#
I stood up our best friends
  A augmentedA
And left you there to explain
G+G      D/F#D/F#    A augmentedA       E minor 7Em7
There is no dignity in self-selecting out of love
G+G          D/F#D/F#
But I swear it's the only option
  A augmentedA
The moment the sadness comes

♫ Pre-Chorus:

It's becoming clearer and clearer
G+G     D/F#D/F#          E minor 7Em7
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
A augmentedA       G+G      D/F#D/F#
It's becoming clearer and clearer
      E minor 7Em7    G+G
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder


♫ Bridge:
D MajorD    A augmentedA       E minor 7Em7    G+G
Choosing the small sad for longer does no favors
D MajorD    A augmentedA      E minor 7Em7     G+G
Choosing the big sad for shorter sucks on paper
         D/F#D/F#     E minor 7Em7
Then I wait with you, tell the truth
     A augmentedA
'Til I'm ugly crying
G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7     A augmentedA
That didn't help to call myself 'ugly' while I'm crying
G+G        D MajorD
And I'm pretty, I'm brave
       B minorBm     A augmentedA    G+G
And I did the best that I could today


♫ Outro:
             A augmentedA
It's becoming clearer and clearer
      E minorEm      G+G
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
