[Verse 1]
       D              G6
I met God, just for a minute
            E                   G6
Sat in His house, took a look around,
                 D      D/G
and saw I didn't fit in
         D
I tried love,
                        G6
gave me something to believe in
                           E
Planning futures from the start,
                     G6
giving pieces of my heart
                D      D/G
Just to end up leaving

[Chorus]
   D       D/C#           Bm
Am I gonna die trying to find
          G
my happy ending?
     D                     D/C#
Will I ever know what it's like
       Bm              G
to be fine without pretending
          D
That my skin isn't crawling,
    A
my demons aren't calling
     Bm             G
and tearing me to shreds
   D        A             Bm
Am I gonna die trying to find
          G        D
my happy ending?

[Verse 2]
       D
I got high, you name it,
      G6
I've tried it
                 E
Sure, I'm sober now
                 G6
and everybody's proud,
               D      D/G
but I miss my vices
                        D
And I tried to be your hero,
               G6
I lent you my voice
                    E
I was your poster child,
                      G6
it was working for a while,
                        D    D/B D/G
but it didn't fill the void

[Chorus]
   D       D/C#
Am I gonna die trying
    Bm            G
to find my happy ending?
     D                     D/C#
Will I ever know what it's like
       Bm              G
to be fine without pretending
          D
That my skin isn't crawling,
    A
my demons aren't calling
     Bm             G
and tearing me to shreds
   D        A             Bm
Am I gonna die trying to find
           G            B5
my happy, find my happy ending?
