• Difficulty: Beginner

Performance: tiktok live

Key: C

Verse 1:
C
Indifferent to the people I detest
    Am
But it harms me in a way

That even I cannot detect
      Dm7
In my own flesh and blood
       G7
I think I've had enough

(I think I've had enough, I've had enough)

C
I welcome death with open arms
               Am
Like an old friend I haven't seen

Since I was young, when young was old
             Dm7
When daddy did terrible things
                          G7
Maybe I'd feel better then, when I leave you like this

(Don't let me leave, don't let me leave
Don't let me leave it all behind)
   C
Oh, while some days are not that bad
            Am
Even pleasant one might say

I can't control the thoughts I have
              Dm7
I can't control thе present wave of еmotion
            G7
Anxiously hoping for something or someone

For anything at all

Pre-Chorus:
      F
I can't imagine a life without familiarity
     Am
I can't imagine what it's like to live with certainty
       C
I like to rewatch movies

So I know the end of every scene
      G
I know the end of everything I do

Because I won't ever leave my room
    F
It's safer here, safety's all I want and all I need
      Am
Buried my issues here, deep within

The walls and in my dreams
       C
In my own atmosphere is where I'll die

So, let me die in peace
      G
I'm on my final breath, my final steps

I've never felt so free

Chorus:
     F
But my head's spinning
                  Am
I can't help but think of who I'm abandoning
                  C
And suddenly my chest cries out in pure panic

It cannot end like this
       G
I say with strength I haven't felt before

And that's when it finally hits
     F
With my hands sweating

Climb down from the ledge
         Am
I once saw so threatening

But it don't cause me fear no more
   C
My fingers touch the fabric of my jacket

Made of corduroy
  G
Reminding me of Brentwood
                     F
And the things that I would die to see again

Instrumental Breakdown:

      Am
Die to see again (g-g-gain)
      Am
Die to see again (g-g-gain)
      Am
Die to see again (g-g-gain)
      Am
Die to see again (g-g-gain)

Verse 2:
   C   G
Woah, oooh oooh
   F
My jacket made of corduroy
               Am
Oh I stand to lose my life, my soul, my time
 N.C.
My home, my thoughts

My sweet and sour youth
      C
I can't let go of who I was

But I can cut myself in two
      G
And I can pick up all the pieces

And let everybody choose

Bridge:
   F                          Am
Yeah, yeah it's all in your mind, boy, it's all in your head
                         C
Leave it all behind, you can finish when you're dead

I'll be waiting for you here
              G
When this madness finally ends
   N.C.
Remember who you are
      N.C.
Don't forget her

Chorus:
      F
When your head's spinning
             Am
Stuck in a room with the television on

While you're tripping on shrooms
      C
You got your thoughts spilling
                G
But none of it's true, it's a facade

Your heart can tear apart the parts that make it you

Outro:
C
Hello again, it's nice to see you're back
     Am
Did you like the things you saw
                   Dm7
Do you finally understand why I wear corduroy?
        G7
I really like corduroy
C
Hello my friend, anything you'd like to ask
  Am
Any unresolved illusions in your head

That make you gag
       Dm7
I'm just one call away
        G7
So please don't be afraid to
     C
Call me, back
