Verse 1:
Dm                G                            C
   I ain't lonely, but I spend a lot of time alone
Dm                       G                            C
   More than I'd like to, but I'm okay with staying home
F             C                      G
   By how the last few months have changed
F              C                  G
   I smile of mourn despite the pain

Chorus 1:
C               G
   I breathe in, I breathe out
Am                                     F
   Got friends to call who let me talk about
C                     G
   What ain't working, what's still hurtin'
Am                               F        C
   All the things I feel like cussin' out
Dm                 Em
   Now and then I let it go
  F             C
I ride waves I can't control
    Dm              G                C
I'm learnin' how to build a better boat


Verse 2:
Dm                G                             C
   I hate waitin', ain't no patience in these hands
Dm                     G                                 C
   I'm not complainin', sometimes it's hard to change a man
F                C                G
   I think I'm stronger than I was
F         C               G
   I let God do what it does


Chorus 2:
C               G
   I breathe in, I breathe out
Am                                     F
   Got friends to call who let me talk about
C                     G
   What ain't working, what's still hurtin'
Am                               F        C
   All the things I feel like cussin' out
Dm                 Em
   Now and then I let it go
  F             C
I ride waves I can't control
    Dm              G                C
I'm learnin' how to build a better boat
Dm  G


Chorus 3:
C               G
   I breathe in, I breathe out
Am                                     F
   Got friends to call who let me talk about
C                     G
   What ain't working, what's still hurtin'
Am                               F        C
   All the things I feel like cussin' out
Dm                 Em
   Now and then I let it go
  F             C
I ride waves I can't control
Dm                 Em
   If it's working I don't know
     F                     C
When I get done, the thing may not flow
       Dm               G                C
But I'm learnin' how to build a better boat
Dm  G  C
