                  G      D         Bm             C
I'm trying to forgive myself for things I didn't do
     G              D       Bm               C
For words I didn't say and things I didn't choose
         G     D    Bm               C
Spending everyday decomposing in my room
     G    D                Bm            C
I'm not okay, but there's nothing I can do

I'm tryna love the person I was when I was born
Hating on a kid doesn't serve me anymore
Sylvanians making stories on the floor
And my mom and dad in love like it's 1994

Chorus:
 G                  D
Say you're comin' around
                   Bm                            C
I need you lately, everything's been getting me down
           G                    D
Yeah, the kids are grown up, I feel like I'm stuck
             Bm                   C
But I don't wanna catch up right now

I'm tryna get a better sense of what I'm worth
'Cause I've been on the fence and in the dirt
Taking it easy
But I forgot I have a job and nothing ever
stops so

Chorus

Say you're comin' around
I need you, lately everything's been getting me down
I broke a glass on the floor, it was the last straw
It's like I woke up on the wrong side of town
Say you're comin' around
I need you, lately everything's been getting me down
I felt so much older than the kids 'round the corner
But I feel so much younger now

Overtook them all and slowed back down
Blamed a child in a daisy crown
