Tom: D
Bm G D
[Verse 1]
Bm G D
Your twenty-nine year panic attack
And not the fashionable kind
Bm G
The kind where you wake up and say
D
"Man, I just wanna survive"
Bm G
But this world is short on empathy
D
You got out of your parent's place
Bm G
Started making money
D
Crashed your car and now they want your laces
A
And they gave you just enough
G
To make you feel like you fucked up
A G
When you realized you couldn't keep yourself clean
A
Kid, you're not half bad
G
Could even be more than your dad
A
So why're you complaining
G
If they're not listening?
[Chorus]
D
G D G D
We're just so fucking tired of explaining ourselves
G A
We throw a pill down our throats
G D
Or ourselves into the ocean
G D
'Cause half our friends are dead
G D
The other half are depressed
G A
In this budget-rate life
G
The borderline's looking thin
[Instrumental]
Bm G D x2
[Verse 2]
Bm G
Driving out into the water
D
Because you took that leap of faith
Bm G
All I see is you floating
D
So I turned my stereo up
Bm G
You're living bender to bender
D
I only saw you when we were high
Bm G D
You're finally touching down and I'm folding
A
You said, "Enough is not enough"
G
You always feel like you've fucked up
A G
So what's the point of keeping yourself in line?
A
They won't name you in the papers
G
I see you out past the breakers
A G
That same smile you've had since you were five
[Chorus]
D
G D G D
We're just so fucking tired of explaining ourselves
G A
We throw a pill down our throats
G D
Or ourselves into the ocean
G D
'Cause half our friends are dead
G D
The other half are depressed
G A
In this budget-rate life
G
The borderline's looking thin
[Instrumental]
Bm D G x4
[Bridge]
A
I know that life is long enough
G
Didn't think you'd speed it up
D G
Feel selfish that we still want you alive
D
The memorial wasn't bad
G
Some people tried to understand
D
Thought you were complaining
G
But we weren't listening
[Chorus]
D
G D G D
We're just so fucking tired of explaining ourselves
G A
We throw a pill down our throats
G D
Or ourselves into the ocean
G D
'Cause half our friends are dead
G D
The other half are depressed
G A
In this budget-rate life
G Em G
The borderline's looking thin
