[Verse 1]
Am
I'm on an overcrowded train
Fighting an overcrowded brain
G F
And all these bags under my eyes
Hold up my compromise
Em
And maybe I should bail on everything, anything
Did you not learn anything in school?
F
Could have played by the rules
G
Could be happy in a different way
Am
Struggling with the London rent
G
They said it would be hard now I know what they meant
F
I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl
But I’m here for the music, I know
Em
Distracted!
Can I say what I mean, can I mean what I say
F G
Why can’t I figure out how I feel when I wake up everyday
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
I face everything with the same old logic
G Em
Overanalysing everything is tragic
Dm
And maybe some things they will never make sense
G
So I tackle it all
But I'm not making a dent, no
[Chorus]
F
And I think my brain is breaking
C/G G F
And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming
It’s frustrating
C/G G
I just wanna know why
F
And I know no good will come of it
C/G G F Csus4
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I’m sinking
C/G G F Csus4
I just wanna know why I’m overthinking
C/G
No, no, and I just wanna know
G F Csus4
I just wanna know why
C/G G
Oh, oh and I just wanna know why
[Verse 2]
Am
I'm an outcast, to be left behind
G
I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind
F
There's a danger
That I might just pour my heart out to a total stranger
Em
In a bar
And they're not gonna wanna hear
No, they're just there to sip their beer
F
Not hear about problems to solve
G
And “God this girl's so self involved”
Am7
I play it out my head
I'm trying to make good choices
G
I hear voices
F
They can't pick one side
Help! I look so stupid
Em
Sitting there tongue tied
Meltdown! All I can hear
Is code red, code red
F G
Got a problem in the control centre
In my own head
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Facing the world with the same old logic
G Em
Overanalysing everything is tragic
Dm
And maybe some things they will never make sense
G
So I tackle it all
But I'm not making a dent, no
[Chorus]
F
And I think my brain is breaking
C/G G F
And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming
It’s frustrating
C/G G
I just wanna know why
F
And I know no good will come of it
C/G G F Csus4
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I’m sinking
C/G G F Csus4
I just wanna know why I’m overthinking
C/G
No, no, and I just wanna know
G F Csus4
I just wanna know why
C/G G
No, no and I just wanna know why
