[Verse 1]
A
You
You've got a lot on your
plate this week
         Bm           F#            D
A lot of promises you couldn't keep
                A
And thats just fine
F#m, G#m, A

[Verse 2]
A
I'm
Just trying not to lose my
shit this time
         Bm             F#m
Avoiding everything and saying
I'm fine
         D      A
And were out of sync

[Pre Chorus]
      D*   D/B
D*
And I'm
D*
Not sure why nothing makes me feel
like getting out of bed
D*
And I'm not sure whats going
wrong inside my head

[Chorus]
     C#7
A                              C#7
I've honestly never felt this lousy
in my life before
   F#m
It makes no sense to me
            D
I should be happy

Should be thankful for
    A
The friends I have around me
        C#7
The support of my fractured family
                   F#m
But still I'm just pretending
that im fine
                 D
When I'm feeling lousy all the time

[Bridge]
I'm such a fuck [A x2  F#m  D] x2
I'm such a fucking piece of shit
[A x2  F#m  D]
And you hate me for it
[A x2  F#m D]

[Verse 3]
A
We
     F#m             D      A
Just haven't really been on the
same page
F#m          D           A
Crossing our wires, oversensitive
   F#m            D       A
to everything you say to me

But still I never realize how
