Growing Sideways

• Verse 1

* = Single strum



Verse 1
      G *                       Bm*
So I took my medication and I poured my trauma out
         C*
On some sad-eyed middle aged man's over-priced new leather couch
        Em*                         G*
And we argued about Jesus finally found some middle ground
        C
I said I'm cured


Verse 2
          G                        Bm
And I've divvied up my anger into thirty separate parts
          C
Keep the bad shit in my liver and the rest around my heart
               Em                            G
And I'm still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them
            C
But it's a start


Pre-Chorus
              Em                 G
But I ignore things and I move sideways
         C                                G
'Till I forget what I felt in the first place
                   C                     G                      D
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive


Chorus
                   Em
'Cause everyone's growing
                G
And everyone's healthy
            C                             G
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
            C                       G
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
               D
I guess I'll drive
               G
I guess I'll drive


Verse 3
         G
So I forgot my medication
      Bm
Fell into a manic high
          C
Spent my savings at a Lulu

Now I'm suffering in style
        Em
Why is pain so damn impatient
                 G
Ain't like it's got a place to be
              C
Keeps rushing me


Pre-Chorus
              Em                 G
But I ignore things and I move sideways
         C                                G
'Till I forget what I felt in the first place
                   C                     G                      D
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive


Chorus
                   Em
'Cause everyone's growing
                G
And everyone's healthy
            C                             G
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
            C                       G
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
               D
I guess I'll drive


Bridge
        C                G
And if all my life was wasted
         Em                 D
I don't mind I'll watch it go
       C             G                  D
It's better to die numb than feel at all
        C                G
Oh if all my time was wasted
         Em                 D
I don't mind I'll watch it go
       C             G                  D
It's better to die numb than feel at all


Pre-Chorus
              Em                 G
So I ignore things and I move sideways
         C                                G
'Till I forget what I felt in the first place
                   C                     G                      D
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive


Chorus
                   Em
'Cause everyone's growing
                G
And everyone's healthy
            C                             G
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
            C                       G
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
               D
I guess I'll drive
               G
I guess I'll drive
