Verse 1:
AbAb                 F minorFm
Sometimes I wanna take the car out on the road
      Eb MajorEb
Flip it into park and smash myself
           Bb majorBb
Into a million little pieces
AbAb            F minorFm
I'm tired of knowing what about myself is wrong
     Eb MajorEb
But never mustering up the control
         Bb majorBb
To really try and change it

Bb majorBb C majorC


Chorus 1:
DbDb               AbAb
I walk outside and people say, "Hey!"
DbDb
And sometimes I just wanna say
AbAb    GbGb    F minorFm
"Hey! Go away! Go away!"
  DbDb
So I guess I better stay inside

Verse 2:
AbAb                     F minorFm
I reaad that if you just sit in a chair and think
         Eb MajorEb
Of focusing your nervous energy
        Bb majorBb
On the beauty of breathing
AbAb            F minorFm
You could live a life of real tranquility
           Eb MajorEb
But I just thought of every stupid thing
               Bb majorBb
That's been keeping me from sleeping

Bb majorBb C majorC


Chorus 2:
DbDb                AbAb
I close my eyes and it won't go away
DbDb
I plug my ears but they're ringing out
AbAb   G minorGm  F minorFm
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"


Verse 3:
DbDb
It keeps me from believing
   AbAb
That maybe someday the thing will work
F minorFm
Maybe I won't feel like a jerk
Eb MajorEb                     Bb majorBb
Maybe the words I say will stop coming out weighted
AbAb
Maybe someday I'll wanna breathe
  F minorFm
And maybe the people that I meet
    Eb MajorEb
Won't lead to a certain future where
Bb majorBb      GbGb   F minorFm
I'm betrayed and
    Bb majorBb  GbGb   F minorFm
I'm so jaded yeah
    Bb majorBb  GbGb   F minorFm
I'm so jaded
    DbDb
And thaaaaaaat's, that’s why I'm so fucking sad
