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