[Verse 1]

Dmaj7 A5 F#5 B

Underneath my room there is a gift shop

Amaj7 Dmaj7 A5 F#5

That won’t stop playing the same songs on repeat

B Amaj7

As if they want some confession out of me

Dmaj7 A5 F#5 B

They said it’s so we know they’re open

Amaj7 Dmaj7 A5 F#5

Well I’m sure they’ve solved that problem

Just turn the radio on so that I can…

[Chorus 1]

D A5 E A E

Shut them out and throw away

D A5 E A E

My usual self’s usual ways

D A5 E A E

Because what’s worst of all is something reminding me what I wish to see

D A5 E

As my days blur to one

[Verse 2]

Dmaj7 A5 F#7 B Amaj7

So I’ll try to find something different within a distance that I chose

Dmaj7 A5 F#7 B Amaj7

As spontaneous as I’m allowed with the mindset that I use

Dmaj7 A5 F#7 B

Thoughts of envy and frustration

Amaj7 Dmaj7 A5 F#7

I wonder if I’ll ever lose them

Just turn the radio on so that I can…

[Chorus 2]

D A5 E A E

Shut them out and throw away

D A5 E A E

My usual self’s usual ways

D A5 E A E

Because what’s worst of all is something reminding me what I wish to see

D A5 E

As my days blur to one
