Verse 1:
  C                 Am
My friends, they wanna take me to the movies
 Dm                G
I tell 'em to fuck off, I'm holding hands with my depression
C                Am
And right when I think I've overcome it
 Dm             G
Anxiety starts kicking in to teach that shit a lesson
C              Am
Oh I try my best just to be social
Dm                   G
I make all these plans with friends and hope they call and cancel
    C               Am
Then I overthink about the things I’m missing
    Dm      G
Now I'm wishing I was with 'em


Pre-Chorus 1:
       C           Am
Feel like I'm always apologizing for feeling
     Dm           G
Like I'm out of my mind when I'm doing just fine
    C               Am
And my exes all say that I'm hard to deal with
    Dm   G
And I admit it, yeah


Chorus 1:
C      Am           Dm     G        C
 But all my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like
      Am      Dm    G         C
They don't understand why I can't sleep through the night
              Am
I've been told that I could take something to fix it
    Dm             G
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah-ah
C    Am           Dm     G        C
 All my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like


Verse 2:
              Am
Always wanted to be one of those people in the room
     Dm                   G
That says something and everyone puts their hand up
           C
Like, "If you're sad put your hand up
    Am
If you hate someone, put your hand up
Dm                 G
If you're scared, put your hand up"


Pre-Chorus 2:
       C           Am
Feel like I'm always apologizing for feeling
     Dm           G
Like I'm out of my mind when I'm doing just fine
    C               Am
And my exes all say that I'm hard to deal with
    Dm   G
And I admit it, it's true


Chorus 2:
C      Am           Dm     G        C
 But all my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like
      Am      Dm    G         C
They don't understand why I can't sleep through the night
              Am
I've been told that I could take something to fix it
    Dm             G
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah-ay
C    Am           Dm     G        C
 All my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like


Bridge:
C             Am
I got all these thoughts, running through my mind
Dm          G
All the damn time and I can't seem to shut it off
 C          Am
I think I'm doing fine most of the time
 Dm             G
I think that I'm alright, but I can't seem to shut it off

C             Am
I got all these thoughts, running through my mind
Dm          G
All the damn time and I can't seem to shut it off
 C          Am
I think I'm doing fine most of the time
 Dm            G
I say that I'm alright, but I can't seem to shut it off

C  Am     Dm    G
    Shut it, shut it, yeah


Chorus 3:
C      Am           Dm     G        C
 But all my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like
      Am      Dm    G         C
They don't understand why I can't sleep through the night
              Am
I've been told that I could take something to fix it
    Dm             G
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah-ah
C    Am           Dm     G        C
 All my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like


Outro:
    Am  Dm     G        C
Li-i-i-i-ike, what it's like, what it's like
     Am  Dm  G      C
Hmm-mm-mm mm-mm,  mmm, what it's like
Am       Dm  G
