Drinking Song For The Socially Anxious

[Intro]
C Em C G D C
D

[Verse 1]
       C
In the back of a cab
Like a puppet with no strings
  G/B
Untangling my headphones
'Cause sometimes they're the only thing
     Am
That keeps my head in place
                C
Keeps my head in place

[Verse 2]
C
Arriving at the door
I hope to god I'm not the first
   G/B
My heart is tearing pages from that funny story I rehearsed
      Am
And I know I won't be long
                        C
'Cause I know I don't belong

[Verse 3]
                 C
'Cause though my jokes are my armour
And my kindness is my sword
    G/B
The party swirls around me in a dress I can't afford
      Am
And I do my best to breathe
                                C
But they're stealing all the air

[Verse 4]
        C
And the hum from the fridge'll
Sing me soft little vigils
   G/B
As all my steps too far keep telling me "This is who you
are"
Am
I should go home
        Fmaj7/A
I'm not lonely, I just like being on my own

[Chorus]
    Am
And I'll sing silence
    G
And ask my glass of wine for guidance
Fmaj7/A                    G
I      might not make it tonight
    Am
And I'll speak with my eyes
       G
You'll think I'm weird, one sympathises
Fmaj7/A                    G
I      might not make it tonight

[Post-Chorus]
        Am      G         Fmaj7/A   G
Because I don't find this easy like you
                          Am       G
Gonna go home and show my cat some memes
            Fmaj7/A
'Cause he's awesome
     G
Like me

[Interlude]
     Am G/B
Like me

[Verse 5]
C Csus4 F/C
G        C
 Now I'm lying on a bed full of coats
                      G/B
Trying desperately to cope
When you open up the door,
say something stupid like
        Am
"You're lying on some coats"
I say I know
                            Fmaj7/A
It's just sometimes nice to feel   
What it's like to be in someone else's coat

[Verse 6]
          C
Now we're bursting at the seams
'Cause the noise is crushing us
              G/B
We think it's so much worse than it seems
But that voice inside is rushing us
         Am
And in a moment of total rapture
And with every strength I have
  Fmaj7/A
I ask    if you play D&D
And your face lights up like you've woken up
          Am
From this endless fucking nightmare of pretending this is
you
This is us,
G/B
   this is me and this is how we're meant to be
         Fmaj7/A
But your smile  tells me I'm safe
And that voice unspoken's heard
          G
'Cause if God make us all in his image
Then God's a fucking nerd

[Chorus]
    Am
And I'll sing silence
    Gadd11
And ask   my glass of wine for guidance
F/A                    Gadd11
I  might not make it tonight 
    Am
And I'll speak with my eyes
       Gadd11
You'll think I'm neat, I'm not surprised
     F/A                    Gadd11
That I  might not make it tonight 

[Post-Chorus]
        Am      Gadd11     F/A       Gadd11
Because I don't find  this easy like you   
                           Am          Gadd11
Gonna go home and dress my cat up like Batman
            F/A          Gadd11
'Cause he's awesome like me    

[Bridge]
    Am      Gadd11     F/A       Gadd11
And I don't find  this easy like you   
        Am
I'm not lonely
  Gadd11                 F/A
I just  like being on my own
     Gadd11
With you   

[Outro]
       C
In the back of a cab,
like two puppets with no strings
   G/B
We share a pair of headphones
'Cause sometimes they're the only things
     Am
That keep our heads in place
                      C
That keep our heads in place
