Ode To Depression

| G     | G     |
| G     | B7    | Em     | C     |

G
Sleep away the sadness
         B7
Pop some pills, and then it's gone
    Em
But no one speaks of its hiding place
      B7
Hid behind the coat of arms and
G
Some days I’ll feel happy
   B7
As happy as can be
         Em
And I'll trick my twisted insides
      B7
To perform hospitality
             C        Cm
Yeah, that's just me
            G
That’s just me
           G
So, with a heavy heart
       B7
On the ground, I'll stand
           Em
Because if I fall backwards
        B7
I won't land in the sand
           G
And I'll cocoon myself around
   B7
Anything that has a pulse
       Em
And convince them to love me
   B7                     C
So maybe I don't feel all alone
                Cm
It's dark and I need a light
               G
To find my way home

Em            D              C         G
Every day, it feels like I'm losing my youth
    Em            D
The earth doesn't turn for me
    C                     G
The birds are unnervingly mute
          Em           D
And their sweet, sweet melody
            C            G
Once filled with so much passion
       Em               D
Gently floating up like dandelions
   C          G
To flutter my lashes
      Em    D           C      G
And if  you asked me if I was okay
          Em               D         C             G
Well, I’d have to save the lies for another coffee date
    C                            G
And maybe you can call me messed up
C                     G
Maybe you can call me messed up

      G                              B7
To my family and friends: I feel the love, I do
            Em
But I can’t help the feeling in my veins
     B7
When paranoia slips through and it makes me think
G                B7
"Am I pretty? Am I true?"
       Em
Do you get a glimpse of hope
                B7
In our big, bad world
                       C
When I'm laughing with you?
            Cm               G
Doubt’s the superglue of the soul
    C             Cm                  G
And doubt doesn't waver up the rabbit hole

Em            D              G         G
Every day, it feels like I'm losing my youth
    Em            D
The earth doesn't turn for me
    C                     G
The birds are unnervingly mute
          Em           D
And their sweet, sweet melody
            C            G
Once filled with so much passion
       Em               D
Gently floating up like dandelions
   C          G
To flutter my lashes
      Em    D           C      G
And if  you asked me if I was okay
          Em               D         C             G
Well, I’d have to save the lies for another coffee date
    C                     G
And maybe you can call me messed up
C                     G
Maybe you can call me messed up
C                     G
Maybe you can call me messed up

C                      Cm
Maybe you can call me
