G
Sleep ’til 12 PM
                        Am
I hit the snooze on my alarm
let’s do it again
                         G
Roll out of bed around 1:30
check who I am
                            Am
‘Cause honestly, I don’t remember
My sanity got stuck in December

       Em
And my boyfriend doesn’t exist
I’m in my hoodie
           Dm
and some sweatpants watchin’ Netflix
                        C
Call it romance with a little bit of a twist
Not gonna lie, don’t want a guy
G
As for the time
            C
I’d like a box of breadsticks, ay

Chorus:
G               Am
It’s gonna be alright
                   Em
Welcome to actual real life
                 C
It’s gonna be alright

Scrolling through my phone all day
Looking at all these perfect people
"You're gorgeous, stop"
"Oh my god, bae"
And I wonder what would they say
If I did nothin' to impress them
Would they still be obsessed then?
And my schedule fell through the cracks
Sometimes I get my shit together
Then others, I take three or four naps
There's no system, maybe I should get a cool tat
Havin' dumb conversations with the evil house cat

Chorus:
Eh, eh, eh, eh
It's gonna be alright
Welcome to actual real life
It's gonna be alright

          Am
I don't think that you would think
              B
That I could really be a pop star
      C
But when I'm in my room
I'm really feelin' like a rock star
Am
Everybody does it
       B
Sarah Sue still says she wasn't
          C
Probably busy lookin' pretty
For her special long-lost cousin

But what you gonna do
When you're around like 82
And you're not lookin' at the past
Like, "Damn, this life goes really fast"
And all that you can remember's
You were tryin' to be better
All these temporary pleasures
No real memories to treasure

Chorus:
Eh, eh, eh, eh
It's gonna be alright
Welcome to actual real life
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Welcome to actual real life
It's gonna be alright
Da-da-da-da
