[Verse 1]
G
It's a day with a 'Y' in it
G Am
so obviously I'm over it
G F Csus2 F
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
Csus2 G
And I've tried not to worry
G Am
And I've tried being sorry
G F
For being born in the wrong place
Csus2 F
and wrong time
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
'Cause I've been messed up,
C F G
stressed out, talking to myself again
Dm C F G
Locked up, left out, terrified of everything
Dm C
Wound up, found out,
F G
waiting around for something to give
[Chorus 1]
Am F
Don't you ever wake up and suspect
C G
That you were simply never cut out to be
Am F
The kind of person they expect
C G
Thе person you intended to bе?
Dm C F G
And I keep it all in with my idiot grin
Dm C
And I'm doing my best
F G
but there's very little left
Dm C
So cut me some slack
F G F
if I crawl back into my shell
G
I haven't been doing so well
G Am G F Csus2 F
Csus2 G
I haven't been doing so well
G Am G F Csus2 F
[Verse 2]
Csus2 G G Am
I got a brand new name for an old,
old friend
G F Csus2 F
The doctor said it's anxiety
Csus2 G
And it makes a lot of sense
G Am
'Cause I've been so tense
G F Csus2 F
Some days I find it difficult to see
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm
'Cause I've been hemmed in,
C F G
penned down, struggling to find myself
Dm C F G
Caved in, cut down, scared of everybody else
Dm C
Dragged in, dragged down,
F G
searching for a reason to live
[Chorus 2]
Am F
Don't you ever wake up and suspect
C G
That you were simply never cut out to be
Am F
The kind of person they expect
C G
The person you intended to be?
Dm C F G
And I keep it all in with my idiot grin
Dm C
And I'm doing my best
F G
but there's very little left
Dm C
So cut me some slack
F G F
if I crawl back into my shell
Am F C G
I haven't been doing so well
Am F C G
Couldn't you tell?
[Verse 3]
Dm C
And if self-loathing was a sport
F G
I'd be Muhammad Ali
Dm C
'Cause I can sting like a butterfly
F G
and sink like a bee
Dm C
But they don't hand out medals
F G
to monsters like me
F
Oh well
Csus2 Csus2/F F6/D
I haven't been doing so well
[Bridge]
F Csus2
Maybe I can do with some help
Csus2/F F6/D
F Csus2
I haven't been doing so well
Csus2/F F6/D
F Csus2
Maybe I can do with some help
Csus2/F F6/D F
[Chorus 3]
Am F
'Cause every day I wake up and suspect
C G
That I was simply never cut out to be
Am F
The kind of person they expect
C G
The person I intended to be
Dm C
'Cause I'm not Joe Strummer,
F G
not Muhammad Ali
Dm C
Not a teacher, not a builder
F G
Just uncomfortable me
Dm C F
And maybe, just maybe, I'll admit
G F
that I could use a little help
Am
I haven't been doing so well
