Chords

[Verse 1]
Am                  F
Woke up late, skipped the shower

C                    G
Caffeine’s all I got for power

Am                  F
Bus ride's quiet, but my brain’s not

C                    G
Heart’s doing laps like it’s on a clock

Am                  F
I sit in class, eyes on the floor

C                    G
Can’t even fake it anymore

Am                  F
They ask questions, I say “yeah”

C                    G
Don’t even know what I agreed to there
--- [Pre-Chorus]
Dm                  Am
Everyone's talking, I'm too loud in my head

E                   Am
I bite my nails, pretend instead

Dm                  Am
That I’m normal, that I’m calm

E                   Am
That I’m not barely holding on
--- [Chorus]
Am                  G
I’m in panic mode

F                   E
But I play it cool

Am                  G
Like I’m not shaking under this desk at school

F                   E
They laugh, I nod

Am                  G
But I don’t get the joke

F                   E
I’m somewhere else

Am
Just trying not to choke
--- [Verse 2]
Am                  F
My phone’s got ten unread texts

C                    G
From people I don’t know how to text back

Am                  F
Say “sorry” like a habit

C                    G
Then ghost them-it’s automatic

Am                  F
I wish I had the words

C                    G
But they don’t come, it just hurts

Am                  F
Therapist says “breathe in deep”

C                    G
But what’s that supposed to fix in me?
--- [Chorus]
Am                  G
I’m in panic mode

F                   E
But I still smile

Am                  G
Say “I’m good” like it’s not a lie

F                   E
They move through life

Am                  G
Like it’s a breeze

F                   E
I’m drowning in a classroom seat
--- [Bridge] (half-sung/half-spoken)
F                   E
If I scream, would anyone hear it?

Am
If I left, would anyone care?

F                   E
If I broke right in front of them

Am
Would they even stop and stare?
--- [Outro]
Am                  F
I don’t want to be dramatic

C                    G
But I’m tired of acting

Am                  F
Panic mode, every day

C                    G
And I don't know any other way
