[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Am C Build a pillow barricade so the ghosts can't get to me F C Twenty-something instincts, feel like a deadbeat dad Am C Never there when it counts and puts you right in therapy F C G Life is a gamble, baby, and you'll have to live with that
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G Oh, but I'll be fine 'cause I always end up C F Just fine, then I call a friend up Am G That's just how it is
[Chorus]
C G And I wake up tired and vaguely sore Am C Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored F C G Full-sending a lot, only halfway sure C G Walking around with heirloom pain Am C Dad's temper and Mom's mistakes F C G And always afraid to fall flat on my face C G Am But doing it anyway Em F C G I'm doing it anyway
[Verse 2]
C Am Walls up to the skies, many men have marched around E F C G To no avail, there's Achilles, then there's his God-forsaken heel
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G I do the dishes and tend the garden C F Soften up where I used to harden Am G C And take a moonlit walk
[Chorus]
C G And I wake up tired and vaguely sore Am C Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored F C G Full-sending a lot, only halfway sure C G Walking around with heirloom pain Am Em Grandma left but her heartache stayed F C G And now I'm always afraid to take up space C G Am Yet doing it anyway Em F C G I'm doing it anyway, oh
[Outro]
C G People fall in love and fuck up Am C And have kids who fall in love and fuck up F C Who have kids that fall in love G And have you C G People fall in love and fuck up Am C We all fall in love and fuck up F C N.C. You will fall in love and fuck up too
