BoyWithUke – Trauma Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
D  A  F#m E

[Verse 1]
D
Growing up, I never
had a lot of money
A
Never had a phone, always
was a little hungry
         F#m
Used to find it hard to sleep
When i could hear my
mother sobbing
       E
I was 10 back then,
 I didnt have a room

Had to buy used shoes
               A
I hid behind tunes to avoid abuse
                  F#m
And everytime I fell,
 I would blame it on myself
                    E
Even if it was an accident

[Pre-Chorus]
  D                    A
Maybe, its not what I want
                      F#m
Oh, I've seen better days,
                           E
and the moment fcking sucks
      D                         A
But I'll be damned if I don't stop,
                    F#m
 and, honestly, why not?
                     E
When nobody gives a fck?

[Chorus]
                              D    A
Sometimes I just can't help myself
                   F#m
I wanna give up trying and
                  E
start doing somеthing else
                            D    A
Sometimеs I just get overwhelmed
                    F#m
I know it's in my mind, but
                       E
 I think I need some help

[Verse 2]
                         D
Sometimes I just can’t help myself

I was an outcast
  A
Thrown out to dry and get laughed at
  F#m
Too shy to talk about home
 E
I always thought life was
supposed to be cold
      D                 A
And, oh, I’ve been so lost
 without hope
 F#m
I got a window in my head,
 it’s a casket
 E
You know I've been wishing
 I was dead, but I mask it

[Pre-Chorus]
   D                    A
Maybe, it's not what I want
                      F#m
Oh, I've seen better days,
                          E
and the moment fcking sucks
              D
But I'll be damned,
if I don't stop,
                  F#m
 and, honestly, why not?
                     E
When nobody gives a fck?

[Chorus]
                        D         A
Sometimes I just can't help myself
                   F#m
I wanna give up trying and
                   E
start doing something else
                          D      A
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
                    F#m
I know it's in my mind, but
                     E
I think I need some help

[Bridge]
              D
Because it’s all I know
            A
My hands around my throat
             F#m
Pray that I won’t let
                E
go this time around
             D
But every single time
                     A
 I try to shut my eyes
             F#m
I see the reason why
              E
I’m not alone

[Chorus]
                   D
Sometimes I just can’t
                         D         A
Sometimes I just can't help myself
                  F#m
I wanna give up trying and
                        E
 start doing something else
                          D      A
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
                   F#m
I know it’s in my mind,
                            E
 but I think I need some help
                               A
Sometimes I just can’t help myself
