Chords

* = Single strum [Verse 1]
      G*                        Bm*
So I took my medication and I poured my trauma out

         C*
On some sad-eyed middle aged man's over-priced new leather couch

        Em*                          G*
And we argued about Jesus, finally found some middle ground

        C
I said I'm cured
[Verse 2]
          G                        Bm
And I've 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
[Pre-Chorus]
              Em                 G
But I ignore things and I move sideways

        C                                G
Till I forget what I felt in the first place

                   C                     G                      D
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive
[Chorus]
                   Em
'Cause everyone's growing

                G
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 3]
         G
So I forgot my medication

      Bm
Fell into a manic high

          C
Spent my savings at a Lulu
Now I'm suffering in style
        Em
Why is pain so damn impatient

                 G
Ain't like it's got a place to be

              C
Keeps rushing me
[Pre-Chorus]
              Em                 G
But I ignore things and I move sideways

        C                                G
Till I forget what I felt in the first place

                   C                     G                      D
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive
[Chorus]
                   Em
'Cause everyone's growing

                G
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
[Bridge]
        C                G
And if all my life was wasted

         Em                  D
I don't mind, I'll watch it go

       C             G                  D
It's better to die numb than feel it all

         C                G
Oh, if all my time was wasted

         Em                  D
I don't mind, I'll watch it go

       C             G                  D
Yeah it's better to die numb than feel it all
[Pre-Chorus]
              Em*                G*
But I ignore things and I move sideways

           C*                            G*
Till I forget what I felt in the first place

                   C*                      G*                       D
At the end of the day Lord knows there are worse ways to stay alive
[Chorus]
                   Em
'Cause everyone's growing

                G
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
