G# Cm A# I used to be so sensible on my own Now I'm so sensitive it's a joke I'm getting by on decibels like a drug And greet every brand new day with a shrug Chorus: G# Cm A# I'm barely hanging on I'm barely hanging on I'm barely hanging on I'm barely hanging on I used to be so comfortable in a suit Almost presentable next to you I used to be so confident in a crowd Now I can't say my own name aloud Chorus And now I guess you're wondering why We never could see eye to eye Oh, but never mind And now I guess it's hard to see What has gotten into me Oh, but never mind Oh, but never mind Oh, but never mind Chorus I'm barely hanging on I'm barely hanging on You can simplify chords by removing barre
