Em
Lately I've been picking at the fossil in my throat
It's hard to stare into the ocean
and to try to stay afloat
C Am
Now don't upset yourself due to the changing of my mood

I'm hard to please sometimes
I'm hard to please sometimes

I'm on a staircase to the bottom of the bottom of my soul
Although my feet are still connected
They are out of my control

Now please refrain yourself from worrying on my behalf

I'm shuffling underneath my pillow for the bed-crumbs of my mind
It's hard to look there for a future
when I left it all behind
C Am
And please don't condescend and say you've heard this one before
Em
I'm hard to please sometimes
I'm hard to please sometimes
Em
And while you're offering a handshake to a goddamn amputee
I feel my phantom heart is scratching in a train-wreck memory

And please don't try to cure me with on rectifying glance

I'm hard to understand sometimes
