Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
| Dsus2 | Dsus2 | Am7 | Am7 G/B | C G | Fmaj7 C | G | G |

[Verse 1]
Dsus2 Am7
“Please stop tryin’ to impress people who don’t care about you”
G/B
I repeat as a mantra
C G
I’ve known this wicked waltzer all too long
Fmaj7
It’s the cycle I’m stuck on
C G Fmaj7 C G
And I’m tryin’ to be better, but I fall at every hurdle

[Instrumental]
| G Fmaj7 | C G |

[Verse 2]
Dsus2
Please stop tryin’ to find comfort in these sociopaths
Am7
Their beauty is exclusively on the surface
G/B C G
As they pull you side to side with all their drugs and who’s who stories
Fmaj7 C
And fill that empty space from bein’ a child
G Fmaj7 C G
Or somethin’ like that

[Instrumental]
| G Fmaj7 | C G |

[Verse 3]
Dsus2
Straddle these rustеd wheels and pedal through the gridlock
Am7
On this dry summer еvenin’, turn my phone off
G/B C
I’m not receivin’ anything or anyone
G Fmaj7
Just the sound of the empty caverns in my skull
C G Fmaj7 C G
Self-loathin’ will be cold if I rise above this lull

[Ending]
