Intro:
   E B Gb E
   E B Gb E

Verse 1:
E                  B
I'm in a better space
            Gb                     E
Most the voices in my head are gone
E                       B
I cleared out the cobwebs
           Gb                    E
And cut off a couple trauma bonds
E                                   B
Wish that I could call myself last fall
      Gb                    E
When I was barely hanging on
E                               B
And tell myself you'll make it through
             Gb                  E
Wish it's something I could do now

Verse 2:
E                  B
I'm in a better place
          Gb                    E
With the burning down in my chest
E                             B
The pain never got much lighter
        Gb                  E
But I'm learning to carry it
E                                    B
Putting in the work, labeling the hurt
             Gb                                E
Walking out the twelve steps, digging up the dirt
E                           B
Wish that I could tell myself
        Gb                    E
That there's a way out of hell

Pre-chorus:
            E        Gb          B
If you just hold on one more night

Chorus:
                        E                         B
And the hardest part of healing is sitting in the feelings
                 Gb                    E
Waiting for the pain to pour out your soul
                      E                           B
Stop numbing all the grieving, screaming at the ceiling
            Gb          E
Making my peace with miserable
        E          B
And it isn't fair, it isn't right
        Gb               E
It's just how it's gotta be
      E            B
No, this trauma ain't my fault
       Gb                    E
But no one else can heal for me
E   B   Gb  E
Mm, mm, mm

Verse 3:
E                     B
I'm letting all that go
                 Gb                  E
'Cause there's poison laced in the pill
E                        B
Bitterness will kill me faster
        Gb                E
Than mourning you ever will
               E                       B
And I'll make amends with the broken ends
                Gb                E
Smile at the pieces and safety pins
                             E    B
Still not over getting through, no
                       Gb         E
But that's just what I gotta do now

Pre-chorus:
E            Gb       B
I might just be alright

Chorus:
                        E                         B
'Cause hardest part of healing is sitting in the feelings
                 Gb                    E
Waiting for the pain to pour out your soul
                      E                           B
Stop numbing all the grieving, screaming at the ceiling
            Gb          E
Making my peace with miserable
        E          B
And it isn't fair, it isn't right
        Gb               E
It's just how it's gotta be
      E            B
No, this trauma ain't my fault
       Gb                    E
But no one else can heal for me

Bridge:
E             B           Gb
Re-deal this hand I'm given

Forgive 'cause I've been forgiven
E              B            Gb
Connect these dots between these scars

Until I see

Chorus:
                             E                         B
Yeah, the hardest part of healing is sitting in the feelings
                 Gb                    E
Waiting for the pain to pour out your soul
                      E                           B
Stop numbing all the grieving, screaming at the ceiling
            Gb          E
Making my peace with miserable
        E          B
And it isn't fair, it isn't right
        Gb               E
It's just how it's gotta be
      E            B
No, this trauma ain't my fault
       Gb                    E
But no one else can heal for me
