Intro:

    C#m    E      G#m                             F#
And they say, they say that is only up from here,
    C#sus4   Eadd9    G#m7                           F#sus2
But I've   hit a  new rock bottom every single year,
G#m7   Eadd9
G#m7   Eadd9


Verse 1:
B              Bmaj7               F# /A#
I've been trying to find a reason,
G#m7       G#add9                 F# /A#
Not to stop myself from leaving,
    B                 Bmaj7
But life feels like one big inconvenience,
F# /A#       G#m7        G#madd9   G#m  F# /A#   B
Then you die anyway
(ah--ah--ah),
    B             Bmaj7             F# /A#
And I've tried every medication,
G#m7                           F# /A#
I've tried guided meditation,
B              Bmaj7
I've tried going on vacation,
    F# /A#        G#m7                         F# /A#
And I'm still sad, I'm just on the beach.

Chorus:
    C#sus4  Eadd9   G#m7                            F#sus2
And they  say
they say that is only up from here,
    C#sus4   Eadd9    G#m7                           F#sus2
But I've   hit a  new rock bottom every single year.


Post-Chorus:
Eadd9            A7sus4
Little do thеy know,
Eadd9
I can always go,
  G#m7   Eadd9
Lower.
G#m7   Eadd9


Verse 2:
B                         Bmaj7        F# /A#
I want to get that skin off my body,
       G#m7                            F# /A#
'Cause I hate the way it feels on me,
B                  Bmaj7
Going through emotions like a zombie,
F# /A#      G#m7                        G#m  F# /A#   B
I can't wait for the apocalypse, (ah--ah--ah),
B                       Bmaj7
I know all my friends are getting scared,
 F# /A#    G#m7
'Cause I can't seem to find a way,
    F# /A#    B              Bmaj7
And my    therapist is asking me to hang out,
F# /A#     G#m7
I just might take her up on it.


Chorus:
    C#sus4  Eadd9   G#m7                            F#sus2
And they  say
they say that is only up from here,
    C#sus4   Eadd9    G#m7                           F#sus2
But I've   hit a  new rock bottom every single year.


Post-Chorus:
Eadd9            A7sus4
Little do thеy know,
Eadd9
I can always go,
  G#m7
Lower.


Outro:
C#m7
I keep trying to kill myself,
    E
But I keep waking up,
  G#m
I write my letters, take my pills,
  F#
I guess I never take enough,
     C#m7
They say the only way is up,
        Eadd9
But the ground keeps getting closer,
G#m7                        F#sus2
They say it'll go by quick but,
F#sus2                C#m7     Eadd9
It keeps on getting slower,
Eadd9
I can always go,
  G#m7   Eadd9
Lower.
