F#m   E
2020 was a weird year
E
Album dropped at a weird time
               D
Ain't the homecoming queen but better believe I cried
F#m   E
And therapy for one turned
E
Into therapy for two
                       D
When you get married that young,
you got a lotta shit you gotta get through

F#m             E
If I said I had it all together, I'd be lyin'
D
But I'll die tryin'

Chorus:
F#m  E
I'm doin' my best
                               D
I'm lettin' the rest roll off my shoulders, baby
F#m           E
Don't always get it right
 E
Hey, and that's alright
            D                     F#m
That's what I'm learnin' lately, I keep
    E
Growin' up, I keep
                E
Rollin' up my sleeves and I think
  D
That showin' up is good enough for me

I was friends with a pop star
I put 'em on track four, but
Wish I could take it back, I would've never asked
If I knew we wouldn't talk anymore
Sometimes I try to say the right thing
And it comes out wrong
And Twitter kicked my ass, now it's one less app on my iPhone, yeah

If I said I had it all together, I'd be lyin'
Yeah, but I'll die tryin'

Chorus

   F#m              E
I live in my head 'til the sun's up
                   D
Even I can admit that it's fucked up
            F#m            E
And you're pushing for perfect your whole life
        E
And it didn't work out
      D
But, damn it, I tried

Chorus:
I'm doin' my best
I'm lettin' the rest roll off my shoulders, baby
Don't always get it right (I'm doin' my—)
And that's alright (I'm doin' my best)
That's what I'm learnin' lately, I keep (I'm doin' my—)
Growin' up, I keep (I'm doin' my best)
Rollin' up my sleeves and I think (I'm doin' my—)
That showin' up is good enough for me (I'm doin' my best)

(I'm doin' my—)
(I'm doin' my best)
(I'm doin' my—)
(I'm doin' my best—)
