Tom: C
F5
Oh-oo-oh!
C5
Oh-oo-oh!
[Verse 1]
F5 C
Paltry, my ambitions have become so small
C5 F
I stay in my bed, my body shakes with tremulous lows
Am
And only God knows I'm trying to reach glorious heights
C
From a tiny stone that always gets kicked and thrown
C
And my mind's unravelling over the gravelly desert highway of my soul
C
Something's gotta give
F Am
I'm not even that old, I have a low pain threshold
C F Am
Maybe that's why things that shouldn't hurt me hurt me so
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I don't mind
Am
I don't mind
F
Seeing you leave me behind
I don't mind
C
I don't mind
Am Dm
I will continue to try to be kind
[Chorus]
C Dm F Am
And the furthest I reach is my body height
C Dm
And I have spent glorious nights
F C
Waiting to be alright
F Am
Waiting to be alright
F Dm
Waiting to be alright
F C Am
Waiting to be alright
[Verse 2]
F5 C
Sultry, I wink an eye and it feels wrong
C5
Please excuse me I'm not physical
F
My eyelashes are just awkwardly long
I have the need to rescue myself
Am
Because I'm much too afraid to ask somebody else
C
On the 14th of August I will turn into dust
There goes all of the people that I thought I could trust
F Am
Is that really the way it is? Is love so desperately weak?
C F Am
I am climbing the charts but my heart is bleak
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I don't mind
Am
I don't mind
F
Seeing you leave me behind
I don't mind
C
I don't mind
Am Dm
I will continue to try to be kind
[Chorus]
C Dm F Am
And the furthest I reach is my body height
C Dm
And I have spent glorious nights
F C
Waiting to be alright
F Am
Waiting to be alright
F Dm
Waiting to be alright
F C Am
Waiting to be alright
[Bridge]
C
I don't mind
Am
I don't mind
F
Seeing you leave me behind
Dm F
I'm trying to climb to glorious heights
Am C
To the precipice of my mind
C Am
For now I'm lying alone in the dark
F Am
Trying to mount my hind legs
C Am
For now I'm lying about my heart
F C5
So that you think I'm fine
[Chorus]
C Dm F Am
And the furthest I reach is my body height
C Dm
And I have spent glorious nights
F C
Waiting to be alright
F Am
Waiting to be alright
F Dm
Waiting to be alright
F C Am
Waiting to be alright
[Outro]
Dm Am
Waiting to be alright
Dm C
Waiting to be alright
Dm F Am C5
Waiting to be alriiiiiiiiiiiiight
