Guest Room

C

G                      Em
- I don't even have a guest room yet
C
- How can I expect to die like that?
       G                      Em
With space that's shared and rent that's due
           C
When it's still my turn to vacuum
G                  Em
- I lived past my first line in the dirt
C
- Never thought my twenties could come first
      G                           Em
I've talked too many friends down over the phone
        C
Not to meet up at our next milestone

       Em           B
If I'm -- gonna be somebody
   G           A
Deliberately alive
                 C
I want to do it right

G                       Em
- I pay somebody on the internet
C
- To talk through things I don't know how to fix
          G               Em
But it's all exercises in buoyancy
       C
Not insured for the help that I need
G               Em
- And I give myself fat lips
C
- Chewin' out my cheeks when I'm anxious
         G                           Em
So I've told a few friends who say, "Be gentle, kid"
         C
But that only works some of the time

       Em           B
If I'm -- gonna be somebody
   G           A
Deliberately alive
                C
How do I do it right?

If I'm -- gonna be somebody
   G           A
Deliberately alive

How do I do it right?

G           Am               C
- Not sure which one I fear worse
                 C
(Going young or getting old)
 G               Am             C
Guess I'll take whatever comes first
      G               Am            C
It's not like I had a say in being born
                 C
(Going young or getting old)
              G
At least I'm not convinced
    Am                   C
I deserve either one anymore

Not convinced I deserve either one
