it so obviously I'm over it

I'm sick and tired of

being sick and tired

For being born in the
Dsus2 G
wrong place and wrong time
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
'Cause I've been messed up,
G A
stressed out, talking to
myself again

Locked up, left out,
G A
terrified of everything
Em D G
Wound up, found out, waiting
A
around for something to give
[Chorus 1]
Bm G
Don't you ever wake up and suspect
D
That you were simply never
A
cut out to be
Bm G
The kind of person they expect
D A
Thе person you intended to bе?
Em D
And I keep it all in with
G A
my idiot grin
Em D
And I'm doing my best but
G A
there's very little left
Em D
So cut me some slack if
G A G
I crawl back into my shell
A
I haven't been doing so well
A Bm A G Dsus2 G
Dsus2 A
I haven't been doing so well

Dsus2 A A Bm
I got a brand new name for an old,
old friend

The doctor said it's anxiety

Some days I find it difficult to see
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em
'Cause I've been hemmed in,
D
penned down,

scared of everybody else
Em D
Dragged in, dragged down,
G A
searching for a reason to live
[Chorus 2]
Bm G
Don't you ever wake up and suspect
D
That you were simply
A
never cut out to be

The kind of person they expect

The person you intended to be?

And I keep it all in with
G A
my idiot grin
Em D
And I'm doing my best but
G A
there's very little left

So cut me some slack if
G A G
I crawl back into my shell
Bm G D A
I haven't been doing so well

Em D
And if self-loathing was a sport
G A
I'd be Muhammad Ali

butterfly and sink like a bee

But they don't hand out medals
G A
to monsters like me

Oh well

Bm
'Cause every day I wake
G
up and suspect
D A
That I was simply never cut out to be
Bm G
The kind of person they expect
D A
The person I intended to be

'Cause I'm not Joe Strummer,
G A
not Muhammad Ali

Not a teacher, not a builder
G A
Just uncomfortable me
Em D
And maybe, just maybe,
G A
I'll admit that I could use
G
a little help
Bm
I haven't been doing so well
