[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Am Em

Why does everything gotta be

Am Em

So fucking complicated

You say your life is wild

Am Em

And I think that... would be fine

You say your life is wild

And I wonder what that's like

I think it would be fun, it would be so fun

Because when I get up to leave

I hope you'll come after me but you don't

So when I get up to leave

But only me for me I think I know

[Verse 2]

Am Em

Why does everything gotta be

Am Em

So fucking beautiful for everyone but me

I can't make no sense, I can't make no sense

Am Em

I can't make no sense, I can't make no sense for me

I can't make no sense, I can't make no sense

Am Em

I can't make no sense, I can't make no sense for me

[Verse 3]

Am Em

Why does everything gotta be

Am Em

So fucking perfect for everyone but me

Am Em

I swear to God I'm a spider in a jar

Someone's shaking it then watching me crawl fast then slow but never really getting far

[Interlude]

Cause there's no light, no there's no light,

No there's no light at the end of my tunnel

No there's no light, no there's no light,

Am Em

No there's no light at the end of my tunnel

[Outro]

C Am Em
