- Difficulty: Intermediate 💪
Key: E
♫ Intro:
G Bm A Em G D/F# A7
♫ Verse 1:
G D/F#
I cannot speed it up
A Em
But I can slow it down
G D/F# A
The pace at which I let it all spill out
G D/F#
I am staring at the exit
A Em
I know the pathway to the door
G D/F# A
But everybody knows I love a detour
♫ Pre-Chorus:
Em7 A
I'm throwing tantrums
D Bm A G
I'm picking fights with everyone I love
♫ Chorus:
D G D
It's becoming clearer and clearer
G D/F# Em7
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
A G D/F#
It's becoming clearer and clearer
Em7 G
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
♫ Interlude:
D A7 Em7 G D/F# A
♫ Verse 2:
G D/F# A Em
I liked it when I slammed the car door in your face
G D/F#
I stood up our best friends
A
And left you there to explain
G D/F# A Em7
There is no dignity in self-selecting out of love
G D/F#
But I swear it's the only option
A
The moment the sadness comes
♫ Pre-Chorus:
Em7 A
I'm throwing tantrums
D Bm7 A G
I'm picking fights with everyone I love
♫ Chorus:
D G D
It's becoming clearer and clearer
G D/F# Em7
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
A G D/F#
It's becoming clearer and clearer
Em7 G
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
♫ Bridge:
D A Em7 G
Choosing the small sad for longer does no favors
D A Em7 G
Choosing the big sad for shorter sucks on paper
D/F# Em7
Then I wait with you, tell the truth
A
'Til I'm ugly crying
G D/F# Em7 A
That didn't help to call myself 'ugly' while I'm crying
G D
And I'm pretty, I'm brave
Bm A G
And I did the best that I could today
♫ Outro:
A
It's becoming clearer and clearer
Em G
