Am C
When you're there
F G
A perfect night's a nightmare too
Am C
I feel so cold, I'm hurt with you
F G
Shades of pink and shades of blue
[Verse 1]
Am
Uh, this feels like the opposite of real life
C
On my way to Valhalla on a steel bike
F
Living fantasy like J.K. Rowling
G
I'm J.R.R. Tolkien, these spliffs I love smokin'
Am
My hands full of stones and gold
C
I'm Lord of the Rings, needles sewed, new clothes
F
But it's more than it seems, I seen dreams implode
G
Seen teens turn old before they grown
Burnt out before they fade away slow
Am
I used to pick you up, now I don't
C
There's some things I would rewind, but I don't have the remote
F
There's some things I manifested I wish I never wrote
G
And all my friends? Really family, 'cause my bloodline's ghost
(Uh-uh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Yeah, it's the life we chose
C
Highways and Hellcats with Angel Wing doors
F
I know I look back, the path went rogue
G
I know I look back, I'm halfway home (I'm halfway home)
[Chorus]
Am C
So far away from where you are
F G
Without a cause, I know I'm fucked up
But I'm not sorry
Am C
And I will meet you where you are
F
Yeah, I make my own luck
G
Because I don't believe in karma
[Verse 2]
Am
I stopped countin' my age
C
Because my face still look the same
So instead of years, I use pain
F
And if that's the case, then I'm five hunnid
G
I been in a race with my trauma, can't outrun it
Am
No wonder why I drive like I'm being chased
C
Pack up and move houses instead of renovate
F
Put my newborn daughter to bed at eight
Then I'm back on the interstate
G
Chain-smoking, lookin' like I'm 'bout to hyperventilate
Am
Got everything to celebrate on the outside
C
Still none of that eliminates what is inside
F
And since I've gotta find a way to cope
G
I start by reversin' some of the words I wrote
F
Instead of being a demon, be a beacon of hope
G
'Cause one day we're hangin' out
N.C.
The next day you're hangin' from a rope, uh
[Chorus]
Am C
So far away from where you are
F G
Without a cause, I know I'm fucked up
But I'm not sorry
Am C
And I will meet you where you are
F
Yeah, I make my own luck
G
Because I don't believe in karma
[Post-Chorus]
Am C F
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
G
Without a cause, I know I'm fucked up
But I'm not sorry
Am C F

Take a heart and break it, if you wanna know, I'll show you how to

You're not here in person, so all I can do is sing about you, uh

I be hearing rumors from the people that you keep around you, uh
Em G
And yeah, I know your friends don't like me

And you're unlikely to think I could change

Love on the brain, but it came from the doses

10. tell me whats up
Key: Db
Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
C Cmaj7 C
Ayy, I'm doin' this like nobody's listening
Cmaj7 C
Like I'm just writing for myself, but, uh-um, whatever
[Verse 1]
C
I used to ride the Blue line straight from school to work
Cmaj7
They robbed me for my Beats by Dre's on 79th
F
I was in first grade when I learned how to curse
I got friends that didn't make it to be twenty-nine
C
It's all a simulation anyways
That's the only way that I could justify these glitches in the
Cmaj7
system
Fmaj7
I took LSD for thirty days, X-rays showed holes in my brain
C
I lost memories, things are different, I lost contact, sky's the
limit
Cmaj7
Even with the ability to have a fuck, I wouldn't give it
Fmaj7
Everyone's attention span too short to be specific
I made so many songs that when I'm gone, I'm never finished
C
Codependent when I'm isolated
Cmaj7
I'm reminded that the voices I silenced are still coexisting
Fmaj7
I watched porn and was mad I did it
N.C.
Went to church, put extra in the collection plate just for sinning
[Chorus]
C
Yeah, uh
Fmaj7
Tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out, everybody sucks
C
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much
Yeah, uh
Fmaj7
Tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out (Uh), everybody sucks (Uh)
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
C
I'm goin' home to the city
I'm goin' rogue from the Illuminati theories
Cmaj7
About how I've been winning
Fmaj7
My soul was always prone to new beginnings
They told me, "Pick a genre," I picked 'em all
And flow with whatever moves me like I'm swimming
C
But I'm just one of many artists tryna spark a renaissance
Cmaj7
Of speaking our thoughts so we can stop pretending
Fmaj7
They skipped the body of work because of how I'm dressing
At least my public crucifixion got the message spreading
C
I was gonna turn the volume down
Cmaj7
But then I realized that I like this song more than I like you
Fmaj7
I typed a couple pages out that I know I'll regret sending
N.C.
So I'll keep it short, like a haiku, okay
[Chorus]
C
Yeah, uh
Fmaj7
Tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out, everybody sucks
C
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much
(Wake up like) Yeah, uh
Fmaj7
Tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out (Uh), everybody sucks (Uh)
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much (Yeah)
[Bridge]
C
(Mm-mm, mm-mm)
Fmaj7
It's been about forty-five seconds since my last cigarette
(Mm-mm, mm-mm)
This is the only vice I got right now, being sober sucks
[Verse 3]
N.C.
Yo, I'm so Pisces, all my answers are planetary
C Cmaj7
I can't get the word "depression" out my vocabulary
Fmaj7
I got Viking blood pumping through my capillaries
So it's no secret how I defeated all my adversaries
C
I need a New Year's resolution like it's January
Cmaj7
I used to drown in a pint of vodka and cranberry
Fmaj7
'Cause underwater, you can't hear all of the commentary
And my wallet's lighter from sendin' my homies commissary
C
We keep it silent where I'm from, it's not a lot of sharing
Cmaj7
And I'm not in a cell, but all my problems solitary
Fmaj7
Therapy came and helped me lift some of this weight I'm bearing
N.C. C
Double-Xs on my neck, express what I hold honorary, gang, gang
[Chorus]
C
Yeah, uh
Fmaj7
Tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out, everybody sucks
C
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much
(Wake up like) Yeah, uh
Fmaj7
Tell me what the fuck's up
I don't wanna go out (Uh), everybody sucks (Uh)
Agoraphobic in this house don't help much
[Post-Chorus]
C Fmaj7
If I can't make you smile, then would you smile again?
(Uh, tell me what the fuck's up)
Uh, tell me what the fuck's up
C Fmaj7
If you can help me laugh, then help me laugh again
(Yeah, uh, tell me what the fuck's up)
[Outro]
C Fmaj7
Whole album made right here in my living room
Yeah, I still wish we kept that line that's like
C
"With the same crew, though, at dinner eatin' hamachi crudo
My brother Rook don't eat nothin' but cheeseburgers"
Fmaj7
Haha, if you know, you know, yeah
C
Day ones

Key: F#m
Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
Em D C x2
[Verse 1]
Em D C
Somewhere between another good night and my own apathy
Em D C
No one can see the me that I hide, my misery hates company
Em D
What's another cup half full? All these people I don't know
C N.C.
Someone turn the lights on, when does this place close?
[Chorus]
G Am C
'Cause I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here
G Am C
I don't need to know where you disappeared to
G Am
Everyone's high, it's time to go home
C
Don't say you're gone, just leave me alone
G Am C
I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here
[Verse 2]
Em D C
On this lonely night, it's the last call
Em D C
On the jukebox, I spend my last dime on a sad song (Uh-uh-uh)
Em D
What's another cigarette smoked? Wasted words I spoke
C N.C.
Someone turn the lights on, when does this place close?
[Chorus]
G Am C
'Cause I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here
G Am C
I don't need to know where you disappeared to
G Am
Everyone's high, it's time to go home
C
Don't say you're gone, just leave me alone
G Am C
I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here
[Bridge]
Em D
5 a.m., no one's home, is this my fault?
C
Sleep with my phone on loud, hoping you'll call
Em D
But it's silent, why can't I accept that you won't?
C
Help me let this go, help me let this go
[Chorus]
G Am C
'Cause I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here
G Am C
I don't need to know where you disappeared to
G Am
Everyone's high, it's time to go home
C
Don't say you're gone, just leave me alone
G Am C
I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here
[Outro]
G Am C
(Everyone's high, time to go home; mm-mm-mm)
G
Can't stay here
Am C
(Everyone's high, time to go home; mm-mm-mm)
Can't stay here

Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
Em D/F# C
Em D/F# Cadd9
[Chorus]
Em D/F# C
And, oh, what a life to live
Em D/F# Cadd9
When you're dying for someone to give
Em D/F# C
To give you their love
Em D/F# Cadd9
To give you their love
[Verse 1]
Em D/F# Cadd9
Light awake, stargazing, I won't sleep 'til morning
Em D/F# Cadd9
Echoes of your words saying, "Don't write a song for me"
Em D/F# Cadd9
Everything is wrong in me, raised under wings of demons
Em D/F# Cadd9
And even if God's with me, without you I have no reason
Em D/F# Cadd9
This'll be the last time you hear me say sorry
Em D/F# Cadd9
That'll be the last tear you waste on me crying
Em D/F# Cadd9
I broke this home
Em D/F# Cadd9
And just like my father, I'll die all alone
[Chorus]
Em D/F# C
And, oh, what a life to live
Em D/F# Cadd9
When you're dying for someone to give
Em D/F# C
To give you their love
Em D/F# Cadd9
To give you their love
[Verse 2]
Em D/F# Cadd9
I'm lookin' at the kids' faces
Em D/F#
Sittin' in the driveway while I pack up suitcases
Cadd9 Em D/F# Cadd9
I just ruined their holiday, and lies don't die, they grow
Em D/F# Cadd9
And everything you try to hide eventually shows
Em D/F# Cadd9
The beast killed the beauty; the last petal fell from the rose
Em D/F# Cadd9
And I loved you truly, that's why it's hard to let it go
Em D/F# Cadd9
I broke this home
Em D/F# Cadd9
But I'll change for our daughter, so she's not alone
[Chorus]
Em D/F# C
And, oh, what a life to live
Em D/F# Cadd9
When you're dying for someone to give
Em D/F# C
To give you their love
Em D/F# Cadd9
To give you their love
Em D/F# C
And, oh, what a life to live
Em D/F# Cadd9
When you're dying for someone to give
Em D/F# C
To give you their love (To give you their love)
Em D/F# Cadd9
To give you their love (Oh)
[Interlude]
Em D/F# C
Em D/F# Cadd9
Em D/F# C
Em D/F# Cadd9
[Bridge]
Em D/F# Cadd9
I wrote this in Room Three, spending Christmas in rehabilitation
Em D/F# Cadd9
I got no phone, just a cell that I'm trapped in while my home's
vacant
Em D/F#
I'm an inpatient, but I lost patience
Cadd9
I just broke somethin', but I'm fixated
Dm D/F#
On the gossip that I know is happenin'
Cadd9
While I'm just being left out of the conversation
Em D/F# Cadd9
It's a complicated relationship, that's nobody's business
Em
But I'm in this business, face it, I've been hiding from the
D/F#
ideation
Cadd9
That the public has been ruinin' my reputation
Em D/F# Cadd9
And it's crazy, seeing quotations from a source that somebody
curated
Em D/F#
'Cause for me, y'all can feel pure hatred
Cadd9
But just keep our baby out this situation
Em D/F# Cadd9
It's a long road to redemption, and a shorter one to damnation
Em D/F#
I know which one is my destination
Cadd9
But the journey doesn't come without the frustrations
Em D/F#
Like it doesn't come without the temptations
Cadd9
And failure can lead to an elevation
N.C.
'Cause sometimes you gotta see what's waiting on the other side
And know your soul's worth savin'
[Chorus]
Em D/F# Cadd9
And, oh, what a life to live
Em D/F# Cadd9
When you're dying for someone to give
Em D/F# Cadd9
To give you their love
Em D/F# Cadd9
To give you their love

Intro]
Fmaj7 C Am G x2
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 C Am G
We grew a tree back in the garden
Fmaj7 C Am G
With a celestial seed that fell down to us from the stars
Fmaj7 C Am G
The sun rose high and killed our shadows
Fmaj7 C Am G
There's more to see under the light than in the dark
F C Am G
Eurydice died from a viper
F C Am G
The girl Orpheus knew he'd die for, mm
F C Am G
Go to the Underworld and fight for
F C
'Cause life's just death if I don't have you
Am G
So I'll find Hell to be trapped into
[Pre-Chorus]
F CAm G
To get back to you
F CAm G
To get back to you
[Chorus]
Am C
Just for this moment, can I hold you?
F Am G
Feel your heartbeat 'til it fades
Am C
And in this moment, it's me and you only
F Am G
I will love you for all my days
[Verse 2]
F C Am G
Somewhere in a different realm, we're still together
F C Am G
Somehow, I'll find my way to you again
F C Am G
Shipwrecked, but I hold hopes of buried treasure
F C Am G
I'll cry ten thousand tears so I can swim
F C Am G
Came up for air, my world's froze over
F C Am G
Strands of your hair still on my shoulder
F C Am G
And gravity's pull was never stronger
F C
Than my soul's cord attached to you
Am G
I'm lost, but my heart's got the map to you
[Pre-Chorus]
F CAm G
To get back to you
F CAm G
To get back to you
[Chorus]
Am C
Just for this moment, can I hold you?

Feel your heartbeat 'til it fades
Am C
And in this moment, it's me and you only
F Am G
I will love you for all my days
[Instrumental]
Am C F F G x4
[Bridge]
F
Do you remember when you mistakenly
C
Thought that I could make you happy?
Am G
I wish that we could still dream and dream
F C
I won't let you love me, but I can't let you leave me
Am G
It's a tragedy, and we've all seen that scene
[Outro]
