[Verse 1]
I'm on an Amovercrowded train
Fighting an overcrowded brain
GAnd all these Fbags under my eyes
Hold up my compromise
And Emmaybe I should bail on everything, anything
Did you not learn anything in school?
FCould have played by the rules
  GCould be happy in a different way
  AmStruggling with the London rent
They said it would be hard now I know Gwhat they meant
I lose Fsleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl
But I’m here for the music, I know
DistEmracted!
Can I say what I mean, can I mean what I say
  FWhy can’t I figure out how I Gfeel when I wake up everyday
[Pre-Chorus]
I Dmface everything with the same old logic
GOveranalysing everything is tragicEm  
And Dmmaybe some things they will never make sense
So I Gtackle it all
But I'm not making a dent, no
[Chorus]
  FAnd I think my brain is breaking
  C/GAnd it’s just Gmyself I’ve been blamingF  
It’s frustrating
C/GI just wanna know Gwhy
  FAnd I know no good will come of it
  C/GI wish that I Gcould just be done with itF  Csus4  
But I’m sinking
C/GI just wanna know Gwhy I’m overthinkingF  Csus4  
No, no, and C/GI just wanna know
GI just wanna know whyF  Csus4  
Oh, oh and C/GI just wanna know Gwhy
[Verse 2]
I'm an Amoutcast, to be left behind
I'm an extrovert with an anxGious mind
There's a Fdanger
That I might just pour my heart out to a total stranger
In a Embar
And they're not gonna wanna hear
No, they're just there to sip their beer
Not Fhear about problems to solve
And “GGod this girl's so self involved”
I Am7play it out my head
I'm trying to make good choices
I Ghear voices
  FThey can't pick one side
Help! I look so stupid
Sitting there tongue Emtied
Meltdown! All I can hear
Is code red, code red
  FGot a problem in the control cenGtre
In my own head
[Pre-Chorus]
DmFacing the world with the same old logic
GOveranalysing everything is tragicEm  
And Dmmaybe some things they will never make sense
So I Gtackle it all
But I'm not making a dent, no
[Chorus]
  FAnd I think my brain is breaking
  C/GAnd it’s just Gmyself I’ve been blamingF  
It’s frustrating
C/GI just wanna know Gwhy
  FAnd I know no good will come of it
  C/GI wish that I Gcould just be done with itF  Csus4  
But I’m sinking
C/GI just wanna know Gwhy I’m overthinkingF  Csus4  
No, no, and C/GI just wanna know
GI just wanna know whyF  Csus4  
No, no and C/GI just wanna know Gwhy

[Verse 1]

I'm on an overcrowded train

Fighting an overcrowded brain

G F

And all these bags under my eyes

Hold up my compromise

And maybe I should bail on everything, anything

Did you not learn anything in school?

Could have played by the rules

Could be happy in a different way

Struggling with the London rent

They said it would be hard now I know what they meant

I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl

But I’m here for the music, I know

Distracted!

Can I say what I mean, can I mean what I say

F G

Why can’t I figure out how I feel when I wake up everyday

[Pre-Chorus]

I face everything with the same old logic

G Em

Overanalysing everything is tragic

And maybe some things they will never make sense

So I tackle it all

But I'm not making a dent, no

[Chorus]

And I think my brain is breaking

C/G G F

And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming

It’s frustrating

C/G G

I just wanna know why

And I know no good will come of it

C/G G F Csus4

I wish that I could just be done with it

But I’m sinking

C/G G F Csus4

I just wanna know why I’m overthinking

C/G

No, no, and I just wanna know

G F Csus4

I just wanna know why

C/G G

Oh, oh and I just wanna know why

[Verse 2]

I'm an outcast, to be left behind

I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind

There's a danger

That I might just pour my heart out to a total stranger

In a bar

And they're not gonna wanna hear

No, they're just there to sip their beer

Not hear about problems to solve

And “God this girl's so self involved”

Am7

I play it out my head

I'm trying to make good choices

I hear voices

They can't pick one side

Help! I look so stupid

Sitting there tongue tied

Meltdown! All I can hear

Is code red, code red

F G

Got a problem in the control centre

In my own head

[Pre-Chorus]

Facing the world with the same old logic

G Em

Overanalysing everything is tragic

And maybe some things they will never make sense

So I tackle it all

But I'm not making a dent, no

[Chorus]

And I think my brain is breaking

C/G G F

And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming

It’s frustrating

C/G G

I just wanna know why

And I know no good will come of it

C/G G F Csus4

I wish that I could just be done with it

But I’m sinking

C/G G F Csus4

I just wanna know why I’m overthinking

C/G

No, no, and I just wanna know

G F Csus4

I just wanna know why

C/G G

No, no and I just wanna know why
