Lyrics

[Verse 1]
       D                         F#m
So I took my medication and I poured my trauma out
          G
On some sadeyed middle aged man's overpriced new leather
couch
         Bm
And we argued about Jesus,
        D
finally found some middle ground
           G
I said "I'm cured"
        D                         F#m
And I divvied up my anger into thirty separate parts
           G
Keep the bad shit in my liver,
and the rest around my heart
          Bm
I'm still angry at my parents,
         D
for what their parents did to them
But it's a start

[Pre-Chorus]
G             Bm
 But I ignore things,
               D
and I move sideways
             G                         D
'Til I forget what I felt in the first place
                    G                  D
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay
alive
A                     Bm
 'Cause everyone's growing

[Chorus]
                   D
And everyone's healthy
             G                            D
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
           G                         D
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
                A
I guess I'll drive
                D
I guess I'll drive

[Verse 2]
        D
So I forgot my medication
        F#m
Fell into  a manic high
           G
Spent my savings at a Lulu
Now I'm suffering in style
       Bm
Why is pain so damn impatient?
                D
Ain't like it's got a place to be
              G
Keeps rushing me

[Pre-Chorus]
             Bm                     D
But I ignore things, and I move sideways
             G                         D
'Til I forget what I felt in the first place
                  G                    D
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay
alive
A                     Bm
 'Cause everyone's growing

[Chorus]
                   D
And everyone's healthy
             G                            D
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
           G                         D
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
                A
I guess I'll drive

[Bridge]
        G                 D
And if all my life was wasted
        Bm
I don't mind, I'll watch it go
A
 Yeah,
       G               D
it's better to die numb than feel it all
A        G                 D
 Oh, if all my time was wasted
        Bm                A
I don't mind, I watch it go
Yeah,
       G             D
it's better to die numb than feel it all

[Pre-Chorus]
A             Bm
 But I ignore things,
               D
and I move sideways
             G                         D
'Til I forget what I felt in the first place
                    G                      D
At the end of the day Lord knows there are worse ways to
stay alive
A                     Bm
 'Cause everyone's growing

[Chorus]
                   D
And everyone's healthy
             G                            D
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
           G                         D
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
                A
I guess I'll drive
                D
I guess I'll drive
