Julien Baker – Mental Math (Guitar)

E             A                          C#m
  Read it in a book once, don't remember where

                     A                                 E
If you're happy in a dream, it has to count for somethin'

                A                           C#m
Cursin' at the sun, you taught me not to swear

                A                                     E
You ask if I get worse and I say, "Dammit, you can bet"

                 F#m                 C#m
Hangin' on a ledge outside of your house

                    A                        E
Tryin' not to freak out, starin' at the ground

                F#m                     C#m
Doing math in my head, how far is it down?

A                                            C#m
Not too good to beg for you to try to talk me down

                                   A
You say you never had a good night's sleep

                                 E
Any of the nights you spent with me

                               B                      C#m
I ask if it'd be better when I leave and then regret it

                         A
Maybe if I were a little patient

                                  E
But I never learned the virtue in waitin'

                     B
It's too late anyway, to take it back

               A
'Cause I have a lot to say

          E            B
And never in the right way

              A             E          B
And if I could just explain myself again

              A
Oh, if I could fix you first

          E          B
Tell me about what hurts

               A                    E         B
And try not to make it worse than it already is

               C#m
'Cause I have a lot to say

               A
But never in the right way

              E                   B
And if I could just explain myself again
