[Start]

[Verse]
     G                        B                   
So I took my medication and I poured my trauma out
        C                                                     
On some sadeyed middle aged man's overpriced new leather couch
       Em                         G                       
And we argued about Jesus finally found some middle ground
       C        
I said I'm cured
      G                        Bm                   
And I divvied up my anger into thirty separate parts
         C                                                
Keep the bad shit in my liver and the rest around my heart
    Em                                 G                        
I'm still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them
           C    
But it's a start


[Chorus]
             Em                G       
But I ignore things and I move sideways
        C                               G    
Until I forget what I felt in the first place
                  C                    G         
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways
              D
To stay alive ■
                  Em                     G      
'cause everyone's growing and everyone's healthy
    C                                     G 
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
         C                       G    
Oh if my engine works perfect on empty
             D    
I guess I'll drive
             G    
I guess I'll drive


[Verse]
                               Bm               
So I forgot my medication fell into a manic high
         C                         Cmaj7        Cmaj7
Spent my savings at a Lulu now I'm suffering in style
      Em                                     G                
Why's pain so damn impatient Ain't like it's got a place to be
C               
Keeps rushing me


[Chorus]
             Em                G       
But I ignore things and I move sideways
               C                        G    
Until I forget what I felt in the first place
                  C                    G         
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways
   G         
To stay alive


[Verse]
D                 Em                     G      
'cause everyone's growing and everyone's healthy
    C                                     G 
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
         C                       G    
Oh if my engine works perfect on empty
             D    
I guess I'll drive
       C               G     
And if all my life was wasted
        Em7                D 
I don't mind I'll watch it go
          C             G7  
Yeah it's better to die numb
G              D  
■ Than feel it all


[Chorus]
   C                  G     
Oh if all my time was wasted
        Em                   
I don't mind I'll watch it go
D         C             G   
Yeah it's better to die numb
             D  
Than feel it all
             Em                G       
But I ignore things and I move sideways
        C                               G    
Until I forget what I felt in the first place
                  C                    G             
At the end of the day Lord knows there are worse ways
              D
To stay alive ■
                  Em                     G      
'cause everyone's growing and everyone's healthy
    C                                     G 
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
         C                       G    
Oh if my engine works perfect on empty
             D    
I guess I'll drive
             G    
I guess I'll drive
