Verse 1:

I've been depressive for far too long
                     Em
Man,?this?shit is heavy
                                                     Bm
I'm?no detective but writing these songs?it's evidently
                                            D
So reflective of every feeling I've ever had
                                                  A
I'm so receptive to it, maybe I'm more like my dad

Then I admit

Emotions are a myth
Em
This world's a bag of shit

And maybe I should quit


Pre-Chorus:

Bm                                  D
'Cause I haven't felt nothing in a while
                              A
I know life is never comfy, so

If you didn't get up out of bed today
C#m
You really wanna die

And nothing's ever changed
         Bm
And you blame yourself

Get out your own way
              A
And make it rain in Hell


Chorus:
                               Em
I don't wanna hate myself anymore
                                              Bm
Wanna live a different life, choose an open door
                                                  D
I don't wanna taste the fountain through a broken straw
                                           A
Want the water to pour over me and nothing more
                                       C#m
Is that way too much to ask or is that okay?
                                         Bm
I don't wanna wish another fucking day away
                                              D
Oh, I know the sun is shining less than yesterday
                                             A
Put my blue up in the sky until it's not so grey


Post-Chorus:
        E                     F#m
Not so grey, until it's not so grey
                  F#
Till it's not so grey, yeah, yeah


Verse 3:

A                     F#m                           E
I never got why my dad would always stay in his bed
                                                   F#
Now looking back, it was preventing a family death
                                                      F#m
I'm glad he fought all of his demons, I'm happy he won
                                                       A
I'm proud to say that he's alive and the same for his son
                                                       E
Take the bad with the good and pray the latter is worth
                                                   A
All of the hasstles and cancels out all of the hurt

Even though I never thought that life could ever work
                           C#m                     A
I kept it pushing out, I'm looking at it in reverse


Bridge:
                                      G#m
If I ever have a kid I just hope that he knows

He can always open up to me whenever he is low
Bm
I will never look at him as if to say he's mad
D
All that it means is that he's just a bit more like his dad
A
Then he'll admit

Emotions are a myth
Em
But life ain't all that shit, so

He will never quit


Pre-Chorus:
Bm                                         D
'Cause I will love him till the day that I die
                              A
I know life is never comfy, so

If you didn't get up out of bed today
      C#m
You really wanna die

And nothing's ever changed
        Bm
And you blame yourself

Get out your own way
            A
And make it rain in Hell


Chorus:
A                                   Em
I don't want to hate myself anymore
                                                Bm
Wanna live a different life, choose an open door
                                                       D
I don't wanna taste the fountain through a broken straw
                                               A
Want the water to pour over me and nothing more
                                            Em
Is that way too much to ask or is that okay?
                                           Bm
I don't wanna wish another fucking day away
                                                 D
Oh, I know the sun is shining less than yesterday
                                                A
Put my blue up in the sky until it's not so grey

Not so grey, until it's not so grey
              F#m
Till it's not so grey
