to drown in, in the [Bb] riptide of perfection, thoughts in black and white.
Patience won't come easily.
[Gm] Living by means anxiously, spend a slowdown I can see.
still got [Bb] mountains to climb on my way out of bed.
I still [F] got oceans to cross inside of my own head.
[Gm]
[Eb] [Gm] I used to sink with all the [Eb] anchors of the problems [Bb] I'd catastrophize.
to drown in, in the [Bb] riptide of perfection, thoughts in black and white.

[F] My best friend was apathy.
[Gm] Living by means anxiously, spend a slowdown I can see.
I still got [Bb] mountains to climb on my way out of bed.
I still [F] got oceans to cross inside of my own head.
[Gm] But I'm not losing [F] sleep, cause I'm a little bit better than I used [Bb] to be. _ _ _ _ _

[Eb] Taking orders from my boxes if they're never out.
[Bb] Was a 40-year-old existence wishing I was strong.
[F] So when I wanna be the model, I'm gonna try a little harder.
[Gm] I found comfort in distortions that I saw in myself.
Cause [Eb] nothing hurts if you're weak, you're too far gone for help.
But [Bb] if I'm growing, that's enough, I'll miss the old me.
Well, [F] cause when I wanna be the model, I'm gonna try a little harder.
I [Bb] still got mountains to climb on my way out of [F] bed.
I still got oceans to cross inside of my own head.
