Tom: C
G* G* C*
At what point did I fuck this up
Am* G
I lost myself but I gained a crutch
C Am C
It's so much harder than I thought it was
G C Am
Been spending my nights getting too fucked up
C
I think I'm a mess
G
I think too much
C Am C
More dependent than I ever was
[Pre-Chorus]
G* C* Am* C*
There's a train track nestled between my house and work
Am*
And I don't stop at the stop sign
C* G
I put my life in the hands of the universe
C
If there's a train let it take me
Am C
If there's a train then I guess that it's my time
G C
And I gasp and I cringe and I hope and I dread
Am
And then it's over, I'm on the other side
[Chorus]
G
Life's a short trip
C
You're the pilot
Am C G
I'm not sure that I'm ready to land this thing yet
C
I've always wanted to drown
Am
My odds are better in the water
C
So if we go down I'm aiming for the ground
[Verse 2]
G C
I wanna set myself on fire
Am
Could you please watch?
C G
See me burn as bright as I have always seen myself
C
So you'll know I'm not a liar
Am C
So I can feel all the pain I've always thought I felt
G C
I keep ending up here on the floor
Am
At least in different rooms
C
So at least I don't get bored
G
Oh, existing's such a chore
C Am
It's so strange how some days I end up stuck in bed
C
And other days I don't get stuck until I reach the door
[Chorus]
G
Life's a short trip
C
You're the pilot
Am C G
I'm not sure that I'm ready to land this thing yet
C
I've always wanted to drown
Am
My odds are better in the water
C
So if we go down I'm aiming for the ground
G
Life's a short trip
C
You're the pilot
Am C
There's an answer and I'm sure we'll find it
G
Life's a short trip
C
You're the pilot
Am C
There's an answer and I'm sure we'll find it
G
[Bridge]
G*
Try to be enough for myself
C*
You're so strong you don't need help
G*
It's so hard to rely on anyone else
C*
You're so strong you don't need help
G
I tried to leave the house
C
I stopped at four different gas stations
G C
Went back to the first and found the nerve to get out
G C
But when I finally made it in, couldn't decide what to get
G
I went and hid in the bathroom
C
It's my favorite anxious habit
G
Then I went back home
C
I gave up and got stoned
G
I can hardly face the world
C
I sure as hell can't face it alone
G C
I'm holding out for something more
G
Let's see what life has in store for me
C G
I'll try to keep breathing, but existing's such a chore
C
So I am holding out for more
G
Let's see what life has in store for me
C C*
I'll try to keep breathing, but existing's such a chore
