[Verse 1]
Note to Dself: clean the living roomG  
Do the things you Ddon’t want to do
Maybe, Bmfold that Aweek old pile of Gclothes
Note to Dself: get some exerciseG  
Feels bad and you Dhave to try
But as Bmfar as I can Atell
That’s how Glife goes
[Chorus]
And note to Bmself: don’t let yourself
GWorry quite as Dmuch
It’ll Gend up fine eDnough
It always Ahas up Bmuntil Anow
Something Bmelse
You should think of other Gpeople
A little Dmore
You shoulda Gthought of that beDfore
Cause of everyAthing Bmyou’ve Awritten down
This is the Emfirst note
That you Bmwrote for someone Gelse

Note to Dself: keep choosing her
GCause she is yours and Dwonderful
And Bmfor-ever is a Along time to be Gsad
And one more Dthing,
Call your mother back
GTalk for too long it’s Dprobably half of
BmWhat she’d Alike
She’s the only Gmother that you have
[Chorus]
BmOh, don’t let yourself
GWorry quite as Dmuch
It’ll Gend up fine eDnough

[Chorus]
Cause I still let myself Bmworry way too Dmuch
And it Gends up fine eDnough
It always Ahas and Bmdoes still Anow
  BmI still need to Athink of Gother Bmpeople Dmore
Yes I’ve Gthought of that beDfore
Maybe one Aday I’ll Bmfigure Aout
