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