[Intro]
Am G Am
[Verse 1]
   AmOne day you opened up your eyes inside of you
   Inside a G6world inside a universe you didn’t get to choose
   You diFdn’t get to pick the rules or pick the Cpast or set the pace
   Or cast the Fcast and crew you didn’t get to pick your starting place
   AmAnd though it was a race you didn’t understand
   You simply lG6ined up on the blocks and when the pistol popped you ran
   And when you Ftripped and dropped you picked yourself up Coff the ground
   And picked your scabs Fyou knew you had to pick a plan to end what you began
   AmAs you got older there were days of cold surrender
   Days of G6shrugged whatevers folded in with days of shocking splendor
   But as Ftime advanced the lovely days were Ccovered up from view
   By an Fadvancing melancholy haze that hovered near the dew
   AmYet there were moments
   There were these pure G6arresting moments when you stepped outside your head
   Outside your pain outside Fcontrol, outside the bullshit, out of Cbody, out of rage
   Outside the Fneed to get it, get it, you will never get it, that’s okay
[Chorus]
   AmHave you felt a little G6off today
   Had Fa lot to say
   But wound up Ctalking to yourself?Am  
   I've been hunting for a G6kindly ear
   But couldn’t Ffind one near
   And wound up Ctalking to myselfAm  
[Verse 2]
   AmHad a little spot— where you been going through a lot
   G6Wanna shove it to the bottom— but a trouble gonna bubble to the top
   FThen the bubble gonna popC—and the hustle never ever gonna stop
   FCause you get up in the morning get ahead, get to bed and then you do it all again until the moment that 
   you drop
   AmYou need a plot — what you wanna witness with this life you got
   G6You kicked and fought trynna get up in your skin and pick this lock
   FThat ticking clock lets you know that bitch you got these situations witchu
   Issues someone fit to quick should sit you should Cdown to talk
   AmEver wonder who’s the crazy the one— people walking to work as if nothing is off
   G6But if a person really got it they would be cracking a bottle on somebody’s head and looting from shops
   FAre there times you’re alone now when nobody’s home but you walk around muttering under your breath second 
   guessing shit saying goddammit goddammit goddammit just Cwhispering soft
   AmDo you ever get lost, deep in your thoughts, tripping when you think about the cost of G6seeing this through?
   When you tie your stomach into knots that you don’t know how to undo
   FBut do you ever have another moment after that, when you can see
   There’s no one way this has to Cbe? or maybe that’s just me
[Chorus]
   AmHave you felt a little G6off today
   Had Fa lot to say
   But wound up Ctalking to yourself?Am  
   I've been hunting for a G6kindly ear
   But couldn’t Ffind one near
   And wound up Ctalking to myselfAm

The story behind the song

"Talking To Myself" delves into the intimate world of inner dialogue, capturing moments where the mind turns inward, reflecting on life's varied experiences—from "days of shrugged whatevers" to "shocking splendor." It explores the search for understanding and connection, even when that connection is with oneself, asking "How you feeling today?" This track, found on the x Infinity album, showcases Watsky's introspective side as a rapper, singer, and poet.

[Intro]

Am G Am

[Verse 1]

One day you opened up your eyes inside of you

Inside a world inside a universe you didn’t get to choose

F C

You didn’t get to pick the rules or pick the past or set the pace

Or cast the cast and crew you didn’t get to pick your starting place

And though it was a race you didn’t understand

You simply lined up on the blocks and when the pistol popped you ran

F C

And when you tripped and dropped you picked yourself up off the ground

And picked your scabs you knew you had to pick a plan to end what you began

As you got older there were days of cold surrender

Days of shrugged whatevers folded in with days of shocking splendor

F C

But as time advanced the lovely days were covered up from view

By an advancing melancholy haze that hovered near the dew

Yet there were moments

There were these pure arresting moments when you stepped outside your head

F C

Outside your pain outside control, outside the bullshit, out of body, out of rage

Outside the need to get it, get it, you will never get it, that’s okay

[Chorus]

Am G6

Have you felt a little off today

Had a lot to say

C Am

But wound up talking to yourself?

I've been hunting for a kindly ear

But couldn’t find one near

C Am

And wound up talking to myself

[Verse 2]

Had a little spot— where you been going through a lot

Wanna shove it to the bottom— but a trouble gonna bubble to the top

F C

Then the bubble gonna pop—and the hustle never ever gonna stop

Cause you get up in the morning get ahead, get to bed and then you do it all again until the moment that

you drop

You need a plot — what you wanna witness with this life you got

You kicked and fought trynna get up in your skin and pick this lock

That ticking clock lets you know that bitch you got these situations witchu

Issues someone fit to quick should sit you should down to talk

Ever wonder who’s the crazy the one— people walking to work as if nothing is off

But if a person really got it they would be cracking a bottle on somebody’s head and looting from shops

Are there times you’re alone now when nobody’s home but you walk around muttering under your breath second

guessing shit saying goddammit goddammit goddammit just whispering soft

Am G6

Do you ever get lost, deep in your thoughts, tripping when you think about the cost of seeing this through?

When you tie your stomach into knots that you don’t know how to undo

But do you ever have another moment after that, when you can see

There’s no one way this has to be? or maybe that’s just me

[Chorus]

Am G6

Have you felt a little off today

Had a lot to say

C Am

But wound up talking to yourself?

I've been hunting for a kindly ear

But couldn’t find one near

C Am

And wound up talking to myself

[Outro]

Dada-da-da-da-da

How you feeling today?
