[Intro]
G F#m Em C D C G
[Verse]
G F#m
Closing my eyes, counting sheep
Em C
Gun in my mouth, trying to sleep
D C G
Everything ends, everything has to
G F#m
Get well balloon, going insane
Em C
Weight of the world, papier-mâché
D C G
Gone with the wind, out into nothing
[Chorus]
Em C D C
I'm just trying to be easy, agreeable
Em C D C G
I don't want to seem needy to anyone, including you
G F#m Em C D C G
[Verse]
G F#m
Little ______ drowned in a pool
Em C
______ got killed walking to school
D C G
Hope it was slow, hope it was painful
G F#m
Life is a gas, what can you do?
Em C
Catheter piss, fed through a tube
D C G
A cyst in the brain, blood on the bamboo
G F#m
Highway to hell's littered with signs
Em C
Everything last thing they advertise
D C G
I want to buy, I want to sell too
[Chorus]
Em C D C
But I don't want to seem greedy, I'm generous
Em C D C G
I'm just trying to be pleasing to everyone, including you

And anything's possible if you feel the same

Early to bed, early to rise
Em C
Acting my age, waiting to die
D C G
Insulin shots, alkaline produce
G F#m
Temperature's cool, blood pressure's fine
Em C
One twenty-one over seventy-five
D C G
Scream if you want, no one can hear you
[Chorus]
