Intro
Emaj7
G#m F#
I guess being clever's just my safety net
Emaj7 G#m F#
[Verse 1]
Emaj7
I hide behind my cadence
Emaj7
I hide behind the wall
G#m F#
I built so tall the weakness never spills
Emaj7
I hide all of my burdens
Emaj7
I twist my words so well
G#m F#
I'm breaking but the lie is what I sell
[Chorus]
Emaj7
If I'm clever you might never understand
G#m
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
C#m E G#m
When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content
F# Emaj7
I guess being clever's just my safety net
[Verse 2]
Emaj7
I'll tell you I feel better
Emaj7
I'll tell you I can sleep
G#m F#
I hope that it can bring a sense of peace
Emaj7
When all the nights are getting darker
Emaj7
The day becomes so bleak
G#m (G)
Another day I'm conscious is another day I bleed
[Chorus]
Emaj7
If I'm clever you might never understand
G#m
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
C#m E G#m F#
When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content
Emaj7
I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head
G#m
I feel my passing only benefits my friends
C#m E G#m
When I know nothing I say matters in the end I finally feel content
F#
I guess being clever's just my safety net
[Verse 3]
Emaj7
I'm out of ways to answer
Emaj7
I'm out of metaphors
G#m F#
I finally got so sick, there is no cure
Emaj7
I'm out of ways to answer
Emaj7
I'm out of metaphors
G#m (G)
I finally got so sick, there is no cure
[Instrumental]

When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content
Emaj7
I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head
