Chalk Outlines

[Am]I'm still here in this [F]bed that I crawled [C]in [C]

[Am]I hope that I'm someone [F]else in the [C]morning [C]

[Am]So take this one, [F]wash it down and you'll be [C]fine [C]

[Am]Then walk around in a [F]floating chalk [C]outline [C]

 

But [F]so it [Am]goes, let it [C]be [C]

In the [F]gallows I balanced

On my [Am]toes so I can [G]breathe [G]

 

But little by [F]little, bit by [C]bit

I push it back [G]down with a new [Am]habit

If not for [F]long, just for a [C]while

I'll bury [G]myself with a great big [Am]smile

Oh my [F]my, oh my [C]my

We trace [G]ourselves in these chalk [Am]outlines

Oh my [F]my, oh my [C]my

Erase [G]ourselves in these chalk [Am]outlines

 

[Am]Sertraline and a [F]sip of serotonin [C] [C]

[Am]Don't cry 'cause [F]there's a pill for [C]everything [C]

[Am]Take this one, [F]wash it down and you'll be [C]fine [C]

[Am]The feeling goes and you'll [F]draw a chalk [C]outline [C]

 

And [F]so it [Am]goes, let it [C]be [C]

In the [F]gallows, I balanced

On my [Am]toes so I can [G]breathe [G]

 

But little by [F]little, bit by [C]bit

I push it back [G]down with a new [Am]habit

If not for [F]long, just for a [C]while

I'll bury [G]myself with a great big [Am]smile

Oh my [F]my, oh my [C]my

We trace [G]ourselves in these chalk [Am]outlines

Oh my [F]my, oh my [C]my

Erase [G]ourselves

 

[F]It's such a perfect [Am]day

Take it just in [G]case, take it just in [F]case

[F]I'm scared of being [Am]okay

'Cause all things [G]change, all things [F]change

[F]It's such a perfect [Am]day

It's a beautiful [G]shame, it's a beautiful [Am]shame

[F]I'm scared of being [Am]okay

'Cause all things [G]change [G]

 

But little by [F]little, bit by [C]bit

I push it back [G]down with a new [Am]habit

If not for [F]long, just for a [C]while

I'll bury [G]myself with a great big [Am]smile

Oh my [F]my, oh my [C]my

We trace [G]ourselves in these chalk [Am]outlines

Oh my [F]my, oh my [C]my

Erase [G]ourselves in these chalk [Am]outlines
