The chords in parentheses are optional and just complete the chord progression (usually finished by the lead guitar riff or vocals). I didn't include a strumming pattern because I feel it varies depending on what style you want to play it in. I feel the only key to getting a good strumming pattern for this song is having a silence (or sustained chord) on the "and" of 3. Also, the intro mimics the verse with 2 measures of Fmaj7, 1 measure of Am, and 1 measure of G. Please let me know if there are any revisions or alternative chords you have found work better with the progression.Was this info helpful?

[Intro]
Fmaj7
 
Am               G
   I guess being clever's just my safety net
 
Fmaj7     Am   G
 
[Verse 1]
  Fmaj7
I hide behind my cadence
  Fmaj7
I hide behind the wall
  Am                               G
I built so tall the weakness never spills
  Fmaj7
I hide all of my burdens
  Fmaj7
I twist my words so well
    Am                             G
I'm breaking but the lie is what I sell
 
[Chorus]
       Fmaj7
If I'm clever you might never understand
            Am
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
        Dm                        F                          Am
When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content
              G                            Fmaj7
I guess being clever's just my safety net
 
[Verse 2]
     Fmaj7
I'll tell you I feel better
     Fmaj7
I'll tell you I can sleep
  Am                                G
I hope that it can bring a sense of peace
             Fmaj7
When all the nights are getting darker
    Fmaj7
The day becomes so bleak
Am                           (G)
Another day I'm conscious is another day I bleed
 
[Chorus]
       Fmaj7
If I'm clever you might never understand
            Am
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
        Dm                        F                          Am       G
When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content
              Fmaj7
I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head
          Am
I feel my passing only benefits my friends
            Dm                           F                       Am
When I know nothing I say matters in the end I finally feel content
              G
I guess being clever's just my safety net
 
[Verse 3]
    Fmaj7
I'm out of ways to answer
    Fmaj7
I'm out of metaphors
  Am                                    G
I finally got so sick, there is no cure
    Fmaj7
I'm out of ways to answer
    Fmaj7
I'm out of metaphors
  Am                               (G)
I finally got so sick, there is no cure
 
[Instrumental]
Fmaj7     Am   G
 
[Chorus]
       Fmaj7
If I'm clever you might never understand
            Am
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
        Dm                        F                          Am       G
When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content
              Fmaj7
I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head
          Am
I feel my passing only benefits my friends
            Dm                           F                       Am
When I know nothing I say matters in the end I finally feel content
              G
I guess being clever's just my safety net
 
[Outro]
Fmaj7
 
Am               G                           (Fmaj7)
   I guess being clever's just my safety net
