Verse 1:
     Am
I'm on an overcrowded train

Fighting an overcrowded brain
G       F
And all these bags under my eyes

Hold up my compromise

  Em
And maybe I should bail on everything, anything

Did you not learn anything in school?
F
Could have played by the rules
G
 Could be happy in a different way

Am
 Struggling with the London rent
                   G
They said it would be hard now I know what they meant
    F
I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl

But I’m here for the music, I know
  Em
Distracted!


Can I say what I mean, can I mean what I say
F               G
 Why can’t I figure out how I feel when I wake up everyday


Pre-Chorus:
 Dm
I face everything with the same old logic
G                 Em
Overanalysing everything is tragic
  Dm
And maybe some things they will never make sense
   G
So I tackle it all

But I'm not making a dent, no


Chorus:
F
 And I think my brain is breaking
C/G       G             F
 And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming

It’s frustrating
C/G        G
I just wanna know why

F
 And I know no good will come of it
C/G       G              F Csus4
 I wish that I could just be done with it

But I’m sinking
C/G        G           F Csus4
I just wanna know why I’m overthinking
      C/G
No, no, and I just wanna know
G           F Csus4
I just wanna know why
      C/G        G
Oh, oh and I just wanna know why


Verse 2:
    Am
I'm an outkast, to be left behind
              G
I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind
     F
There's a danger

That I might just pour my heart out to a total stranger
   Em
In a bar


And they're not gonna wanna hear

No, they're just there to sip their beer
  F
Not hear about problems to solve
   G
And “God this girl's so self involved”

 Am7
I play it out my head

I'm trying to make good choices
 G
I hear voices
F
 They can't pick one side

Help! I look so stupid
           Em
Sitting there tongue tied


Meltdown! All I can hear

Is code red, code red
F                 G
 Got a problem in the control centre

In my own head


Pre-Chorus:
Dm
Facing the world with the same old logic
G                 Em
Overanalysing everything is tragic
  Dm
And maybe some things they will never make sense
   G
So I tackle it all

But I'm not making a dent, no


Chorus:
F
 And I think my brain is breaking
C/G       G             F
 And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming

It’s frustrating
C/G        G
I just wanna know why

F
 And I know no good will come of it
C/G       G              F Csus4
 I wish that I could just be done with it

But I’m sinking
C/G        G           F Csus4
I just wanna know why I’m overthinking
      C/G
No, no, and I just wanna know
G           F Csus4
I just wanna know why
      C/G        G
No, no and I just wanna know why
