F    Dm
Low-key, no pressure,
      C                         F
just hang with me and my weather
    Dm
Low-key, no pressure,
      C
just hang with me and my weather

F
Rose-colored boy
                           Dm
I hear you making all that noise
                             C
About the world you want to see
      F
And oh, I'm so annoyed
                                   Dm
'Cause I just killed off what was left
                C
of the optimist in me

A#                  C               Dm
Hearts are breaking, Wars are raging on
                C
And I have taken my glasses off
A#               C
You got me nervous
                            Dm
I'm right at the end of my rope
              C
A half empty girl
                    F
Don't make me laugh, I'll choke

Chorus:
              F   Am          A#
Just let me cry a little bit longer
               F      Am       A#     C
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
            A#                 C
Hey man, we all can't be like you
               A#                C
I wish we were all rose-colored too
                 F
My rose-colored boy

Low-key, no pressure,
just hang with me and my weather

I want you to stop insisting that I'm not
A lost cause, 'cause I've been through a lot
Really all I've got is just to stay pissed off
If it's all right by you

But hearts are breaking, and wars are raging on
And I have taken my glasses off
You got me nervous
And you're turning it into a joke
A half empty girl
Don't make me laugh, I'll...

Chorus

A#
Leave me here a little bit longer
                             C
I think I wanna stay in the car
I don't want anybody seeing me cry now
A#
You say "We gotta look on the bright side"
                                    C
I say "Well maybe if you wanna go blind"
You say my eyes are getting too dark now
But boy, you ain't ever seen my mind

Chorus - x2

Low-key, no pressure
Just hang with me and my weather
Low-key, no pressure
Just hang with me and my weather
