    G                         D
I know I'm a mess, I didn't choose it
   Bm                           A
I know you're scared I'm gonna lose it
     G
And now I'm just waiting for someone to take me
     D
And tell me that I'm doing fine
       Bm
Cause you won't fuck off of my mind
        A
(Cause you won't fuck off of my mind)

Chorus:
     G                          D
I'm sorry and I hate the old me
                                Bm
I don't know how not to be lonely
I didn't believe that
A
Loving was easy
     G                      D
I'm sorry for all of my phases
                                 Bm
But you're giving me all your patience
                      A
And I'm never leaving
And you are the reason

I know I'm lost, I couldn't fake it
(I couldn't fake it)
It's all too much for you to take, yeah
(for you to take, yeah)
And now I'm just waiting for someone to take me
And tell me that we'll be alright
'Cause you won't fuck off of my mind

Chorus:
I'm sorry and I hate the old me
I don't know how not to be lonely
I didn't believe that
Loving was easy
I'm sorry for all of my phases
But you're giving me all your patience
And I'm never leaving
And you are the reason

     D
And now I'm just waiting for someone to take me
      G
And tell me that I'm doing fine
      Bm                           G
Cause you won't fuck off of my mind

Chorus:
I'm sorry and I hate the old me
I don't know how not to be lonely
I didn't believe that
Loving was easy
I'm sorry for all of my phases
But you're giving me all your patience
And I'm never leaving
And you are the reason
