Intro
Cmaj7
Em D
I guess being clever's just my safety net
Cmaj7 Em D
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
I hide behind my cadence
Cmaj7
I hide behind the wall
Em D
I built so tall the weakness never spills
Cmaj7
I hide all of my burdens
Cmaj7
I twist my words so well
Em D
I'm breaking but the lie is what I sell
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
If I'm clever you might never understand
Em
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
Am C Em
When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content
D Cmaj7
I guess being clever's just my safety net
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
I'll tell you I feel better
Cmaj7
I'll tell you I can sleep
Em D
I hope that it can bring a sense of peace
Cmaj7
When all the nights are getting darker
Cmaj7
The day becomes so bleak
Em (G)
Another day I'm conscious is another day I bleed
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
If I'm clever you might never understand
Em
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
Am C Em D
When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content
Cmaj7
I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head
Em
I feel my passing only benefits my friends
Am C Em
When I know nothing I say matters in the end I finally feel content
D
I guess being clever's just my safety net
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7
I'm out of ways to answer
Cmaj7
I'm out of metaphors
Em D
I finally got so sick, there is no cure
Cmaj7
I'm out of ways to answer
Cmaj7
I'm out of metaphors
Em (G)
I finally got so sick, there is no cure
[Instrumental]

If I'm clever you might never understand
Em
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
Am C Em D
When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content
