Intro: Dm A Dm A
 
Verse:
Dm      Gm  A
"Hey, Nate, how's life?"
         A
I don't know, it's alright
Dm           Gm                        A
I've been dealin' with some things like every human being
                   Bb               A
And really didn't sleep much last night
 Dm    Gm      A
"I'm sorry," that's fine
Dm           Gm                 A
I just think I need a little me time
Dm           Gm                 A
I just think I need a little free time
Bb                       A
Little break from the shows and the bus rides, yeah
Dm           Gm      A
Last year I had a breakdown
                         A
Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost gettin' too loud
 Dm           Gm                A
Had to see a therapist, then I found out
           Bb                     A
Somethin' funny's goin' on up in my house
Dm                   Gm                 A
Yeah, I started thinkin' maybe I should move out
                   A
You know, pack my cart, take a new route
Dm        Gm              A
Clean up my yard, get the noose out
 Bb          A
Hang up my heart, let it air out
 Dm   Gm   A
I've been searchin'
                  A
"What does that mean, Nate?" I've been learning
               Dm                  Gm
Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens
 A                    Bb                A
Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect
                Dm                 Gm
Lookin' at the view, like this concerns me
A
Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous
                Dm               Gm
Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry
       A              Bb
And things might hurt me
                         A
It's prolly gonna be a long journey, but hey
       Dm     Gm    A
It's worth it, though
 
Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats
             Dm               Gm             A
It's been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam
   Bb                  A
Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code
         Dm       Gm             A
Pretty vivid; I admit it, I'm in classic mode
                 A
Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone
         Dm                            Gm             A
Talkin' down to me, I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes
       Bb                     A
I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it?
                Dm     Gm     A
Been makin' a whole lot of changes
         A
Wrote a song about that, you should play it
        Dm          Gm             A
I get scared when I walk on these stages
          Bb                   A
I look at the crowd and see so many faces, yeah
 Dm            Gm           A
That's when I start to get anxious
                 A
That's when my thoughts can be dangerous
 Dm           Gm          A          Bb
That's when I put on my makeup and drown in self-hatred
    A
Forget what I'm saying, and-
    -nc-
Where'd the beat go?
Dm    Gm        A
Oh, ain't that somethin'?
            A
Drums came in, you ain't see that comin'
Dm           Gm
Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin'
A                     Bb          A
Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach
 Dm                   Gm        A
Throw it back up like I don't want it
         A
Wipe my face, clean off my vomit
 Dm        Gm          A
OCD, tryna push my buttons
     Bb                -nc-
I said don't touch it, now y'all done it
           Dm               Gm
I can be critical, never typical
       A
Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal
                Dm               Gm
Intimate, but never political, pretty visual
            A              Bb                    A
Even if you hate it, I'll make it feel like you're in it, though
      Dm                          Gm             nc 
You call me what you wanna, but never call me forgettable
A                                                     nc 
Leave you deep in thought, I could never swim in the kiddie pool
  Dm                        Gm              A
Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, it's beautiful
                Bb                        A
Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos -Videos, videos-
            Dm      Gm
Yeah, the sales can rise
 A
Doesn't mean much though when your health declines
            Dm               Gm              A
See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside
                 Bb                   A
That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies
        Dm            Gm                 A
Try to hold it underwater but it always survives
          A
Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise
          Dm                Gm                   A
Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies
             Bb                          A
You don't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am
      Dm             Gm                A
The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place
              A
And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way
            Dm            Gm                  A
It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe
         Bb                      A
Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay?
                     Dm               Gm       A
Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face
       A
Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great
         Dm             Bb           A
You'll never be great, not because you're not, but the hate
               Bb                        A
Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith -Woo-
              Dm         Gm              A
I've been developin', take a look at the benefits
              A
Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate
   Dm                 Gm                    A
Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it
                     Bb                    A
Take a measurement, then bag it up and give me the evidence
          Dm                    Gm       A
Pretty evident; dependable can never be tentative
           A
I'm a gentleman, depending on if I think you're genuine
         Dm                Bb              A
Pretty elegant, but not afraid to tell you to get a grip
        Bb                      A
Proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate, ah
 Dm    Gm     A
It's that time again
         A
Better grab your balloons and invite your friends
Dm             Gm           A
Seatbelts back on, yeah, strap 'em in
                Bb            A
Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big
       Dm             Gm          A
On a road right now that I can't predict
          A
Tell me "Tone that down," but I can't resist
         Dm         Gm           A
Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist
             Bb                    A
The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, huh
