C                        Em G
I thought of letting her out
C                   Em                  C
She's a big, brave girl now, I can't relate
               Em          G              C
I feel like a horse or a shark, I could sleep
standing up
        Em                    C  F
In the daytime, I'm falling awake

F           Em                  F           C   F
I picture a cat who looks like Juno on the fence
F              Em              F
It gives me a heart attack, I can't lose
          C
another friend

Chorus:
F             C/E             F     C  F
I'm measuring up against the wall again
F                Em               F
It's always the same, but maybe this time,
        C
I've changed

Crosswalk, go now
Green light, forever counting down
Check first, left, right
Black out, must've run out of time
I've thought of letting it go
Create a record-breaking ball of snow
Too big to catch it, but I could if I
Had just reached out like half a year ago

Everybody's screaming, waving, fainting in the pit
Just give me a heart attack, I'm fucking losing it

Chorus - x2

C            Em                 F          C
Gasping for air like there's a lack of oxygen
                    Em
You'll all have to drag me back,
   F
I can't do this again
