[Verse 1]
     F
When I was thirteen,
 a friend of mine died
            F
That's when I realized
that we aren't here forever
       F
And I wonder what she saw
when she got to the other side
     F
Was she pleasantly surprised?
 Were all her questions answered?

[Pre-Chorus]
          B
'Cause I look up at the sky
and I feel no comfort
   F
I look down at the ground and think

[Chorus]
F
Life's not right or wrong,
 it's just a little complicated
F
There's no rhyme or reason
 'cause it's only what you make it
B
I could cry about it or
 just laugh until I choke
Bm                    F
God's got a sense of humor
       F
'Cause no one's good or bad,
 it's just we don't know what we're doin'
     F
The world's a scary place
 and we're all stuck here bein' human
B
Guess it's kinda funny
that there's things I'll never know
Bm                     Fm
God's got a sense of humor
                        F
and I'm not in on the joke

[Verse 2]
     F
When I was fifteen,
I didn't wanna cope
       F
Didn't wanna find hope
'cause there's just so much pressure
   F
To try and be happy when
 you're out of control
              F
'Cause you're so vulnerable
and the world's on fire

[Pre-Chorus]
       B
And I look up at the sky
and I feel no comfort
   F
I look down at the ground and think

[Bridge]
Cm              B
  Every time I get down on
                 F
my knees and I pray
               F
I just end up feelin' more alone
