[Intro]
F Dm C B

[Verse 1]
F
Throat closin' up, make a
                 Dm
 beeline for the bathroom
              C
Bump a couple shoulders,
who cares when you're
              B
losin' your mind?
F
I closed the stall like
   Dm
I closed off the world
      C
And I waited for my
              B
palms to dry

[Verse 2]
                    F
They don't know the panic
Put me on the spot,
               Dm
lose all of my senses
Say one thing wrong,
               C
orbits in me like a planet,
                 B
 like a planet
               F
I can never be candid
In your bed and you
              Dm
ask a simple question
Feel fuckin' dumb when
               C
my body won't answer it
And the look that
               B
you give isn't helpin'

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I wanna tell you
 F              Dm
things, I just can't yet
       C
If you don't got the
              B
 patience, I get it
'Cause I wanna tell you
  F                 Dm
 things, all these secrets
       C
I just can't claw my
              B
way out this casket

[Chorus]
              F  Dm
I got sad too young
                 C
Been leakin' out love
               B
 since I was a kid
              F  Dm
I got sad too young
                 C
Been leakin' out love,
                     B
now I can't find it in me

[Verse 3]
F
Sleepwalkin'
             Dm
through my youth
        C
I can't remember
            B
half of my life
        F
All the stories they
            Dm
 said I was there for
    C
Got lost while I was
            B
 tryna stay alive

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I wanna tell you
 F              Dm
things, I just can't yet
       C
If you don't got the
              B
 patience, I get it
'Cause I wanna tell you
  F                 Dm
 things, all these secrets
       C
I just can't claw my
              B
way out this casket

[Chorus]
              F  Dm
I got sad too young
                 C
Been leakin' out love
               B
 since I was a kid
              F  Dm
I got sad too young
                 C
Been leakin' out love,
                     B
now I can't find it in me

[Post-Chorus]
    F
The hourglass in my lungs
              Dm
 won't let me be, be
C
Everyone around here
           B
 breathin' easy, easy
    F
The hourglass in my lungs
              Dm
 won't let me be, be
C
Everyone around here
           B
 breathin' easy
F Dm C B
F Dm C B
