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