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

Bb  C


Chorus 1:
Db                              Ab
I walk outside and people say, "Hey!"
Db
And sometimes I just wanna say
Ab        Gb       Fm
"Hey! Go away! Go away!"
   Db
So I guess I better stay inside

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

Bb  C


Chorus 2:
Db                               Ab
I close my eyes and it won't go away
Db
I plug my ears but they're ringing out
Ab     Gm   Fm
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"


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