[Verse 1: blackbear]
                   G
Let's toast to the pain
                     D
Walkin' through West LA
Em                      Bm
Vivienne Westwood chain
                 C
Swinging like my mood
                     G
Sit around and watch cartoons
       D
In the crib, sipping tea
    N.C.
Bad ******* on Zoom

[Pre-Chorus: blackbear]
        G                    
I don't care that I'm alone, 
             D
I just wanna die happy
Em                        
Make a couple M's, invest 
            Bm
it back and make it last me
  C                        
I wanna see my friends and 
             G
I don't wanna be depressed
      D                           
Let's toast to the pain and let's 
N.C.
toast to the stress, like (Woo)

Can we toast to the pain?
