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