[Intro]
 F#m    A   D    A/C#
 F#m    A   D

[Verse 1]
F#m           A
 I thought I had something
      D
And that's the same
            A/C#
as having something
              F#m
I get mad at nothing
                  A
Blame my dad for something
           D
I pull no punches,
then feel bad for months
F#m
Mm, thought I was
  A
raised better
          D
Tried to fake better
           A/C#
Tried to blame weather
       F#m
And escape better
           A
Hope the skin heals
            D
where the pain enters

[Pre-Chorus]
           F#m
Oh, but I finally
     A
got sewed up
         D
I set a time,
          A
then I showed up
               F#m
And, now, the weight of
      E              D
the world ain't so bad,
mm, mm

[Chorus]
F#m       A
I saw the еnd, it looked
  D                 A
just like the middlе
         F#m       A
I got a paper and pen and
   D
 a page with no space
              F#m
I filled the hole in my
   A              D
 head with prescription
      A
 medication
      F#m            A
Then forgot how to cry
       D
Who am I to complain?

[Verse 2]
F#m           A
 And now the pain's different
     D
It still exists, it
      A
just escapes different
      F#m
And evades vision,
             A
 makes the rain different
           D
Makes the news boring,
and my rage distant
          F#m
Yes, I'm young and
living dreams
A              D
 In love with being noticed
       A
And afraid of being seen
    F#m
But I can finally eat
    A
And I can fall asleep
      D
It's fine, fine, fine

[Pre-Chorus]
   F#m         A
I finally got sewed up
         D
I set a time,
          A
 then I showed up
               F#m
And, now, the weight
         E                D
of the world ain't that bad

[Chorus]
      F#m       A
Well, I saw the end,
             D
 it looked just like
           A
the middle
         F#m       A
I got a paper and pen and
    D
 a page with no space
              F#m
I filled the hole in
     A              D
my head with prescription
       A
 medication
      F#m            A
Then forgot how to cry
       D
Who am I, who am I to
      F#m    A    D    A
 complain?

[Post-Chorus]
        F#m
To complain
  A  D  F#m  A
D    A       F#m  A
Ooh, ooh-ooh
        D
To complain

[Outro]
F#m       A
I saw the end, it looked
  D                 A
just like the middle
         F#m       A
I got a paper and pen
        D
 and a page with no space
              F#m        A
I filled the hole in my head
            D           A
with prescription medication
      F#m            A
Then forgot how to cry
       D
Who am I to complain?
