🎸 Intro:

B

🎸 Verse 1:
B         B                B
  There's dirt in my nails
     D#m                D#m
From scraping the walls
      E             E/B
And I thought I hit bottom
   D#m                    F#7
So why am I still falling?
  B             B
I know who I am
  D#m           D#m
I didn't forget
      E/B              E
But I just need relief
      D#m           D#m7  F#
And I won't give up yet

🎸 Chorus:  0:33
F#7              B              E
But God, this is all feeling so hard
         G#m             F#
Why am I lost out in the dark?
             B                       E
And why am I struggling just to keep standing?
                 G#m                     F#
Tears won't stop coming and I don't understand them
           B                     E
Maybe it's true that I'm getting stronger
                G#m                F#            B      E
But this really hurts me, but I am cry y,y,y,ing mercy
            G#m        F#         B        B* B* B* B*
I'm crying, Ooh, oh oo,oh, oo  oh mercy

🎸 Verse 2: 1:06
        B              B/F#
I'm too hard on myself
        D#m
I never let myself fail
            E
But then my body screams help
       D#m                F#
And my mind wants to bail
       B
I just wanna be real
     D#m
Stop pretending I'm good
    E
And feel what I feel
    D#m                    F#
Not what I think I should

🎸 Chorus:  1:35
                      B              E
But, oh, God, this is all feeling so hard
         G#m             F#
Why am I lost out in the dark?
                B             E
And why did you leave me all alone
           G#m                  F#
Facing the worst pain that I've known?
               B                     E
And maybe it's true that I'm getting strongеr
                G#m                F#            B      E
But this really hurts me, but I am cry y,y,y,ing mercy
            G#m        F#         B         E
I'm crying, Ooh, oh oo,oh, oo  oh mercy (Mercy)
