3chords with the third doubled : 
 Bb-  Cm-  Gm- Gm  
If you are lazy/beginner you can add a capo in 3rd and play G as a bar chord instead of Bb, and Am - Em
instead of Cm and Gm
[Verse]
BbLife still strings me along
CmSo I never ring the alarm
GmI hide away like nobody gets my charm,
And you can't steal home from me, if you wanna try you can test my arm
BbSmoke like a fog machine  Oh and it's all I breathe
CmOh it's a go from me  Oh it's all I see
GmWine, cheese squares, at the end of your rat maze
Mom's got the shopping fetishPop's got their man caves
BbSome of us drugs, some of us cars, some of us blueberry pancakes
CmSome of us, well it's alcohol, and without that some of our hands shake
GmFace all discolored, not supposed to be this color
When are we going to discover that none of us need all this cover, oh
BbWe gotta sit back less, we gotta go hunt more
CmOne of those things we run from, one of those things we run for
GmEscape, run away, run away cause you want more,
But fate's gonna knock up, gonna knock up at your front door
[Chorus]
BbI've been staying up all night wandering the Cmstreets
I don't know what I'm lookin' for
GmI've been staying up all night wandering the streets
I don't know what I'm lookin' for
BbI'm just tryna get better, CmI'm just tryna get better
GmI'm just tryna get better, I'm just tryna get better
[Verse]
BbMaybe like Johnny B. Goode, I'm more like Donny I'm off in the woods
CmNot in the 'burbs, not in the hoods, wherever I'm going it's not where I should
GmI was runnin' and runnin' and runnin',now I am diggin' and diggin' and diggin'
I will never go catch my own tail, I can never get back to beginnin'
BbThey say born for that and maybe built for this, and if you weren't, there's a pill for this
CmThat's kissy faces and hissy fits, I keep pushin, I'm Sisyphus
GmI'm too broke to be Johnny Cash, too poor for a body cast
My insurance isn't all of that, no ambulance, we're not calling that
BbI tough it out, that's the Irish side, rise and grind, no five-to-nine
CmAnd I'm feeling cornered like a Five and Dine, and they're watching me like a private eye
GmCan't find the brakes, maybe I'll crash, maybe I'll break, maybe I'll crack
Maybe I'll float, maybe I won't, maybe I'll stay here all night in the cold
[Chorus]
BbI've been staying up all night wandering the Cmstreets
I don't know what I'm lookin' for
GmI've been staying up all night wandering the streets
I don't know what I'm lookin' for
BbI'm just tryna get better, CmI'm just tryna get better
GmI'm just tryna get better, I'm just tryna get better

[Verse]

Life still strings me along

So I never ring the alarm

I hide away like nobody gets my charm,

And you can't steal home from me, if you wanna try you can test my arm

Smoke like a fog machine Oh and it's all I breathe

Oh it's a go from me Oh it's all I see

Wine, cheese squares, at the end of your rat maze

Mom's got the shopping fetishPop's got their man caves

Some of us drugs, some of us cars, some of us blueberry pancakes

Some of us, well it's alcohol, and without that some of our hands shake

Face all discolored, not supposed to be this color

When are we going to discover that none of us need all this cover, oh

We gotta sit back less, we gotta go hunt more

One of those things we run from, one of those things we run for

Escape, run away, run away cause you want more,

But fate's gonna knock up, gonna knock up at your front door

[Chorus]
