verse 1
C Am
My friends, they wanna take me to the movies
Dm G
I tell 'em to fuck off, I'm holding hands with my depression
C Am
And right when I think I've overcome it
Dm G
Anxiety starts kicking in to teach that shit a lesson
C Am
Oh I try my best just to be social
Dm G
I make all these plans with friends and hope they call and cancel
C Am
Then I overthink about the things I’m missing
Dm G
Now I'm wishing I was with 'em
Pre-Chorus 1
C Am
Feel like I'm always apologizing for feeling
Dm G
Like I'm out of my mind when I'm doing just fine
C Am
And my exes all say that I'm hard to deal with
Dm G
And I admit it, yeah
C Am Dm G C
But all my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like
Am Dm G C
They don't understand why I can't sleep through the night
Am
I've been told that I could take something to fix it
Dm G
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah-ah
C Am Dm G C
All my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like
verse 2
Am
Always wanted to be one of those people in the room
Dm G
That says something and everyone puts their hand up
C
Like, "If you're sad put your hand up
Am
If you hate someone, put your hand up
Dm G
If you're scared, put your hand up"
Pre-Chorus 2
C Am
Feel like I'm always apologizing for feeling
Dm G
Like I'm out of my mind when I'm doing just fine
C Am
And my exes all say that I'm hard to deal with
Dm G
And I admit it, it's true
C Am Dm G C
But all my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like
Am Dm G C
They don't understand why I can't sleep through the night
Am
I've been told that I could take something to fix it
Dm G
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah-ay

All my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like

C Am
I got all these thoughts, running through my mind
Dm G
All the damn time and I can't seem to shut it off

I think that I'm alright, but I can't seem to shut it off
C Am
I got all these thoughts, running through my mind
