D
My double vision
        G                        A
Is only amplifyin' everythin' he isn't
D            G
'Til I feel less attached and bored to death,
     A
but listen
D              G                               D
It's no one's fault, it's just my terrible condition
G
mm
                A
And I've been thinkin'
D          G
If I move out this year, I'll feel my parents
  A
slippin'
D        G                                 A
Away and also, I'm just scared of that commitment
D          G
I really think sometimes there's somethin'
          A         D  G
that I'm missin', mm

Chorus:
D
Oh, I know
             Bm
Spiralin' is miserable
                  Em
I should probably go back home
                    A
Why does that feel difficult, difficult?
    D
And oh, I hope
            Bm
I wake up invisible
               Em
I'd be someone no one knows
                  A
I guess I'm just difficult

To name this feelin'
Would take a hundred thousand years,
some kind of grievin'
But over what I never had, so I've been speakin'
To my therapist, I call her every weekend, mm
I meant to tell you
How I've hated how we left things
when it fell through
'Cause you were everythin' to me,
where did you run to?
Was it somethin' that I said that
colored you blue? Mm

Chorus

A D      G
Difficult
 A
I
D        G
Difficult

            A
I've been drinkin'
D           G                            A
And stayin' up too late, relivin' bad decisions
D           G                                A
I thought eventually, my ranting here would fix it
D          G
I really think sometimes there's somethin' that
     A        D   G
I'm missin' (Mm)
