[Intro]

[Chorus]
Bm                    A
I wish I was dead sometimes
                       G
So I wouldn't have to check my phone
Bm                    A
I wish I was dead sometimes
                   G
So I could spend a day alone
        Bm                  A
And not feel like everybody hates me
       D                       G
Making plans on another planet daily,
lately
Bm                    A
I wish I was dead sometimes
   G
Ah-ha, I'm just kidding

[Verse 1]
  Bm                       A
I packaged up my pain today
    G
And wrapped the box in cellophane
     Bm                       A
It's clear so I can see inside
   G
To watch the worst of me escape

[Pre-Chorus]
    Bm
But I like your apartment
A
I like how your hair smells
   D
It buries all my problems
      G
Until I forget the details
Bm                              A
That's all I can talk about without
hurting your feelings
   G
So check out all the love I get,
it’s fake
                      Bm  A D G
And doesn't happen at all
                     Bm  A D G
It doesn’t happen at all (at all)

Bm                        A
I buried all my pain today
G
Shallow, not too far away (not far)
        Bm
If you looked then you
                A
could see inside (inside)
    G
And watch the worst of me escape

[Bridge]
Bm
Plan A, Plan B
A
Remember I'm still hurting
D                          G
Mental, physical, and cyclical
but what they hand me
Bm
Plan C, plan D
A
You can't kill what you can't see
G
I'll take on every little
thing you hand me
