F#
I know you feel it, but you always rather bottle
it up I'm rooting for you,
                         B
but you're not even trying
I want to help you, but it's hard to get
through all of your walls.
I hope you know that, I'm rooting for ya

F#                 B
You made all this conflict,
                    D#m
Brought it upon yourself,
                  C#
Is this what you wanted?
I can't even tell

Chorus:
F#
Stuck in the thick of it (Ooh)
B
God, aren't you sick of it by now?
F#
Not just a little bit (Ooh)
B
It's always you against your—
 D#m              C#
Selfish ways are suffocatin'
B
I can't save you now
                                      F#
Oh, why's it always you against yourself?

You're on the other side of everything that
anyone says
So defensive and it's you that it's hurtin'
I wanna help you, but I can't so I'm walkin' away
I'm rootin' for ya, still rootin' for ya

Wish I could be honest
Wish you'd understand
We don't talk very often
You're lost in your head

Chorus:
Stuck in the thick of it (Ooh)
God, aren't you sick of it by now?
Not just a little bit (Ooh)
It's always you against your—
Selfish ways are suffocatin'
I can't save you now
Oh, why's it always you against yourself?

F#
You're goin' out almost every night
B
And you wonder why you feel fucked up
Said you wanna try to live a better life
Until you realize nothing's enough
You're goin' out almost every night
And you wonder why you feel fucked up
Said you wanna try to live a better life
Until you realize nothing's enough

Chorus:
Stuck in the thick of it (Ooh)
God, aren't you sick of it by now?
Not just a little bit (Ooh)
It's always you against your—
Selfish ways are suffocatin'
I can't save you now
Oh, why's it always you against yourself?
