[Verse 1]
           A             D
I've been taking my time
                             A                D
Waiting around for something - it never comes
                            F#m   D  A
I'm not trying to sound like I am cynical
      F#m   D           A
Cause I've been here before
[Verse 2]
            A             D
I know the way that this works 
          E
And it's really not working
   A           D         E
I think every day if anything here is worth it
   A         D            E
I keep to myself cause I don't need to know
      A            D                E            A  D  E  A  D  E
So I stare at the clock until it's time, time to go
[Verse 3]
           A
I've been bored for so long
D                         A
So I just started writing
                  D
These little songs 
                           F#m     D  A      F#m
became the only thing that I could relate to
[Verse 4]
             F#m
So I've been talking to strangers 
     A
And blowing these speakers
  F#m                          A
I left you all behind cause if I ever need this
     F#m
It'll be on my own 
         A
I think better alone
       F#m                         A
And if no one's around they can't tell me I'm wrong
         D                       A    E  F#m  A
And I'm wrong oh many times I'm wrong
[Outro]
A           D         E
I'm taking this year off
                     A          D      E
And writing so many things off it's uncomfortable
          A            D              E                      A
But I'll admit when I cry and if you see me tonight you can know
      D          E
Most likely I'm ready to go
