[Verse 1]
My Cfriends, they wanna take me to the Ammovies
I Dmtell 'em to fuck off, I'm holding Ghands with my depression
CAnd right when I think I've overAmcome it
AnDmxiety starts kicking in to Gteach that shit a lesson
COh I try my best just to be Amsocial
DmI make all these plans with friends and Ghope they call and cancel
Then I Coverthink about the things I’m Ammissing
Now I'm Dmwishing I was Gwith 'em
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Feel like I'm Calways apologizing for Amfeeling
Like I'm Dmout of my mind when I'm Gdoing just fine
And my Cexes all say that I'm hard to Amdeal with
And I adDmmit it,  Gyeah
[Chorus 1]
  CBut all my Amfriends, they don't know  Dmwhat it's Glike, what it's Clike
They don't Amunderstand why  DmI can't Gsleep through the Cnight
I've been told that I could Amtake something to fix it
Damn, I Dmwish it, I wish it was that Gsimple, ah-ah
  CAll my Amfriends, they don't know  Dmwhat it's Glike, what it's Clike
[Verse 2]
Always wanted to be one of Amthose people in the room
That says Dmsomething and everyone puts their hand uGp
Like, "If you're sad Cput your hand up
If you hAmate someone, put your hand up
DmIf you're scared, put your hand up"G  
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Feel like I'm Calways apologizing for Amfeeling
Like I'm Dmout of my mind when I'm Gdoing just fine

[Chorus 2]
  CBut all my Amfriends, they don't know  Dmwhat it's Glike, what it's Clike
They don't Amunderstand why  DmI can't Gsleep through the Cnight
I've been told that I could Amtake something to fix it
Damn, I Dmwish it, I wish it was that Gsimple, ah-ay
  CAll my Amfriends, they don't know  Dmwhat it's Glike, what it's Clike
[Bridge]
