Verse
G* G* C*
At what point did I fuck this up
Am* A
I lost myself but I gained a crutch
D Bm D
It's so much harder than I thought it was
A D Bm
Been spending my nights getting too fucked up
D
I think I'm a mess
A
I think too much
D Bm D
More dependent than I ever was
[Pre-Chorus]
G* C* Am* C*
There's a train track nestled between my house and work
Am*
And I don't stop at the stop sign
C* A
I put my life in the hands of the universe
D
If there's a train let it take me
Bm D
If there's a train then I guess that it's my time
A D
And I gasp and I cringe and I hope and I dread
Bm
And then it's over, I'm on the other side
[Chorus]
A
Life's a short trip
D
You're the pilot
Bm D A
I'm not sure that I'm ready to land this thing yet
D
I've always wanted to drown
Bm
My odds are better in the water
D
So if we go down I'm aiming for the ground
[Verse 2]
A D
I wanna set myself on fire
Bm
Could you please watch?
D A
See me burn as bright as I have always seen myself
D
So you'll know I'm not a liar
Bm D
So I can feel all the pain I've always thought I felt
A D
I keep ending up here on the floor
Bm
At least in different rooms
D
So at least I don't get bored
A
Oh, existing's such a chore
D Bm
It's so strange how some days I end up stuck in bed
D
And other days I don't get stuck until I reach the door
[Chorus]
A
Life's a short trip
D
You're the pilot
Bm D A
I'm not sure that I'm ready to land this thing yet
D
I've always wanted to drown
Bm
My odds are better in the water
D
So if we go down I'm aiming for the ground
A
Life's a short trip
D
You're the pilot
Bm D
There's an answer and I'm sure we'll find it
A
Life's a short trip
D
You're the pilot
Bm D
There's an answer and I'm sure we'll find it
A
[Bridge]
G*
Try to be enough for myself
C*
You're so strong you don't need help
G*
It's so hard to rely on anyone else
C*
You're so strong you don't need help
A
I tried to leave the house
D
I stopped at four different gas stations
A D
Went back to the first and found the nerve to get out
A D
But when I finally made it in, couldn't decide what to get
A
I went and hid in the bathroom
D
It's my favorite anxious habit
A
Then I went back home
D
I gave up and got stoned
A
I can hardly face the world
D
I sure as hell can't face it alone
A D
I'm holding out for something more
A
Let's see what life has in store for me
D A
I'll try to keep breathing, but existing's such a chore
D
So I am holding out for more
A
Let's see what life has in store for me
D C*
I'll try to keep breathing, but existing's such a chore
