E *riff
I'm tryin' to make something of myself
E *riff
On better days, I go buy the hard sell
G A E *riff But I feel like I'm working with barbed wire and moth wings G A E *riff 'Cause I can't really get a hold of many things
[Verse 2]
E *riff
I'm one deep breath away from a breakdown
E *riff
My nerves are wrecked and coming unwound
G A E *riff The world is hostile and I'm fragile and I need G A E *riff Someone to kiss the cuts and tell me to keep trying
[Refrain]
E E Is it me? Is it really just me? G A E *riff Does everybody have it together or are we all pretending? E E Is it me? Is it really just me? G A Holding it together with one loose string
E *riff
That I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop pulling
