[Chorus]
Dm                       F
It's been cloudy with a chance 
of depression
Bbmaj7
Broke my heart and 
I learned my lesson
Dm            F           Bbmaj7
It's already over in my head
           Dm            F
It's been cloudy with a chance 
of anxiety
Bbmaj7
Can't keep out the 
demons inside of me
Dm               F         Bbmaj7
Maybe I'm just better off dead

Use your body to sedate me

You made me miserable

[Chorus]

[Verse]
Dm                   
Why you always gotta 
          F
have the last word?
         Bbmaj7
You know all my passwords watch you 
walk away, I'm bendin' backwards
       Dm                          
Don't tell me that you love me and 
      F
you miss me when you're plastered
        Bbmaj7
We can fuck each other over 
faster, disaster
Dm           F
You make me worse, not better
Bbmaj7
You act like, "So, whatever"
Dm          F
Mistake my pain for pleasure
Bbmaj7
You changin' mind like the weather
