A    D

[Verse 1]

 A
18 with a hammer at my senior prom

Ripping couches in the basement of a country club
         D
That was my first panic attack

I knew couldn't get my youth all back
        A
I got a temper from my old man, used to black out

Then I started drinking liquor til my cash ran down
      D
I was living in the house with the band

Couldn't pay rent, couldn't keep a job, didn't have a plan


[Pre-Chorus]

E
Some days, man I've got it all together
D
Most days though I'm just trying to get better


[Chorus]


Everybody's got that something
                      A
We can't fix with love or money
D
  Even when it pulls me under
                               A
Get so high that it just seems funny

D
How many times can I fake it
                              A
Before it breaks me, I'm not okay

I'm not okay, I'm not okay


[Verse 2]

A
23 and skipping obligations

For some fake crush when I start to lose my patience
      D
I get stoned on going too fast

And what a rush when we finally crash
         A
I know a little bit more now than I used to

But at the cost I payed, I'm pretty sure I got screwed
          D
I spent a few nights sleeping in my car

Took it too far a couple times getting kicked out of the bar


[Pre-Chorus]

E
Some days, man I've got it all together
D
Most days though I'm just trying to get better


[Chorus]


Everybody's got that something
                     A
We can't fix with love or money
D
  Even when it pulls me under
                               A
Get so high that it just seems funny

D
How many times can I fake it
                              A
Before it breaks me, I'm not okay

I'm not okay, I'm not


[Bridge]

D
Oookey
A
Oookey
D
Oookey
A
Oookey

A
Maybe when 50 I'll figure it out

Get my shit put together in a nice clean house
D
Maybe that's a pipe dream


[Chorus]

A                                                           D
Everybody's got that something we can't fix with love or money
D
  Even when it pulls me under
                                   A
Get so high that it just seems funny

D
How many times can I fake it
                             A
Before it breaks me, I'm not okay

I'm not okay


[Outro]

D
Everyone feels like they're crazy
                            A
Why can't I say it? I'm not okay
