Trauma

[Intro]C  G  Em  Bm7

C
Growing up I never had a lot of money
G
I never had a phone

Always was a little hungry
Em
Used to find it hard to sleep

When I could hear my mother sobbing
   Bm7
I was ten back then
        C
I didn't have a room

Had to buy used shoes
             G
I hid behind tunes

To avoid abuse
    Em
And every time I fell

I would blame it on myself
                  Bm7
Even if it was an accident
C
Maybe it's not what I want
G
 Oh, I've seen better days
Em                       Bm7
 And the moment fucking sucks
C                               G
 But I'll be damned if I don't stop
                   Em
And, honestly, why not
                     Bm7
When nobody gives a fuck
                            C
But sometimes I just can't help myself
G                   Em
  I wanna give up trying
                          Bm7
And start doing something else
                        C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
G                   Em
 I know it's in my mind
                        Bm7
But I think I need some help
                                C
'Cause sometimes I just can't help myself
              G
I was an outcast
                                 Em
Thrown out to dry and get laughed at
                     Bm7
Too shy to talk about home
                                          C
I always thought life was supposed to be cold
                   G
And, oh, I've been so
             Em
Lost without hope
                                  Bm7
I got a window in my head, it's a casket

You know I be wishing I was dead, but I mask it
C
Maybe it's not what I want
G
 Oh, I've seen better days
Em                       Bm7
 And the moment fucking sucks
C                               G
 But I'll be damned if I don't stop
                   Em
And, honestly, why not
                     Bm7
When nobody gives a fuck
                            C
But sometimes I just can't help myself
G                 Em
 I wanna give up trying
                          Bm7
And start doing something else
                       C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
G                  Em
 I know it's in my mind
                        Bm7  
But I think I need some help
Because it's all I know
My hands around my throat
Pray that I won't let go
This time around
But every single time
I try to shut my eyes
I see the reason why
               C
I'm not alone

Sometimes I just can't, but sometimes
             C
I just can't help myself
G                 Em
 I wanna give up trying
                          Bm7
And start doing something else
                       C
Sometimes I just get overwhelmed
G                  Em
 I know it's in my mind
                        Bm7
But I think I need some help
                       C 
Sometimes I just can't help myself
