[Intro]
G Bm A  G Bm Asus4

[Verse 1]
G            Bm
Where do you go when you
                 A
 always feel so low?
       G
All my scars are so loud
 and all
    Bm
 my friends are burned out
              Asus4
So, I let the sickness show
  G
I know you mean well, but it's
  Bm                A
 best that I don’t speak
             G
Somehow, I'm always upset and
              Bm
 I would rather be dead
           Asus4
I'll never drag you down with me

[Pre-Chorus]
               G
Feeling like a burden
 for hurting
      A
And I don’t know why,
 don't know why
               Bm
Feeling like a burden
for hurting
                     D
And I don't know why

[Chorus]
      G          Bm
I'm a mess, so depressed
             A
It's hard to get out
of my head
       G                  Bm
In the end, it's probably best to
     A
 say nothing, say nothing
        G             Bm
In my defense, all my friends,
               A
they like me more when
 I pretend
       G
In the end, it's probably
Bm
best to
     A
 say nothing, say nothing
G Bm7 A
 (Say nothing,
             G Bm7 Asus4
say nothing)

[Verse 2]
G
Where do you go when you're
Bm              A
healing way too slow?
          G
Cause the pressure of feeling
          Bm
 keep it all concealed
         Asus4
Makes me want to be alone
       G
On the surface, I’m fine,
          Bm               A
 but the walls are caving in
       G
It’s a struggle, no doubt,
      Bm                Asus4
and I rather should die just for
 who I am
[Pre-Chorus]
               G
Feeling like a burden
for hurting
      A
And I don’t know why,
 don't know why
               Bm
Feeling like a burden
for hurting
                     D
And I don't know why

[Verse 3]
     Bm
Stop pushing me and let this go
     G
It's better that you never know
      D
Cause I would rather hold it in
      A
until I run out of oxygen
     Bm
This feeling outta loose control
     G
It's better that you never know
   D
If I don't keep my secret safe,
      A
the words I love will never stay
D                          G
They never say, they never stay
A           Bm
(They never stay)

[Bridge]
G
It's getting hard to breathe
sometimes
        A
I don't wanna be alone
 some nights
     Bm
Just tryna find a reason why
Bm
Just tryna find a reason why!

[Chorus]
      G          Bm
I'm a mess, so depressed
             A
It's hard to get out of my head
       G                  Bm
In the end, it's probably best
       A
to say nothing, say nothing
        G             Bm
In my defense, all my friends,
               A
 they like me more when I pretend
       G                  Bm

     Bm
Stop pushing me and let this go
 (Stop pushing me and let this go)

It's better that you never know
 (Better that you never know)
      D
Cause I would rather hold it in
       A
until I run out of oxygen

This feeling outta loose control
(This feeling outta loose control)
     G
It's better that you never know
(It's better that you never know)
   D
If I don't keep my secret safe,
       A
 the words I love will never stay
A
They never say, they never stay
(They never stay)
