[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G
Want it, so I got it,
 did it, so it's done
 C
Another thing I ruined,
 I used to do for fun
 D
Another piece of plastic
 I could just throw away
 C
Another conversation with
nothing good to say
  G
I thought it, so I said it,
took it 'cause I can
 C
Another day pretendin'
I'm older than I am
 D
Another perfect moment that
doesn't feel like mine
 C
Another thing
I forced to be a sign

[Chorus]
      G
Well, sometimes I feel like
                          C
 I don't wanna be where I am
Gettin' drunk at a club with
                 D
 my fair-weather friends
Push away all the people
                 C
 who know me the best
But it's me who's been
            G
 makin' the bed
I'm so tired of bein'
                 C
the girl that I am

Every good thing has
                         D
 turned into somethin' I dread

And I'm playin' the
                    C
victim so well in my head
But it's me who's been
            G
 makin' the bed

[Post-Chorus]
                         C
Me who's been makin' the bed
                        D
Pull the sheets over my head,
yeah
           C
Makin' the bed

[Verse 2]
    G
And every night,
 I wake up from this one
recurrin' dream

          C
Where I'm drivin'
through the city, and
the brakes go out on me
  D
I can't stop at the red light,
 can't swerve off the road
  C
I read somewhere it's
'cause my life feels
so out of control
      G
And I tell someone
I love them just
 as a distraction
     C
They tell me that they
 love me like I'm some
 tourist attraction
        D
They're changin'
my machinery, and
I just let it happen
  C
I got the things I wanted,
 it's just not what I imagined

[Chorus]
      G
Well, sometimes I feel
                              C
like I don't wanna be where I am
Gettin' drunk at a club
                      D
with my fair-weather friends
Push away all the people
                 C
 who know me the best
But it's me who's been
            G
makin' the bed
I'm so tired of bein'
                 C
the girl that I am

Every good thing has turned
                  D
 into somethin' I dread

And I'm playin' the victim
              C
 so well in my head
But it's me who's been
            G
makin' the bed

[Post-Chorus]
                         C
Me who's been makin' the bed

Pull the sheets over
    D
my head, yeah
           C
Makin' the bed

[Outro]
Em
Sometimes I feel like
   C                      G  D
I don't wanna be where I am
Em
  Countin' all of the
 C                    G
beautiful things I regret
         D
But it's me who's been
            Em
 makin' the bed
                         C
Me who's been makin' the bed
                        G
Pull the sheets over my head
           D
Makin' the bed, oh-oh
