Chalk Outlines

C#m  A  E

[Verse 1]
C#m                     A        
I'm still here in this bed that I
           E
 crawled in
C#m                     A        
I hope that I'm someone else in 
           E
the morning
C#m                A             
So take this one, wash it down 
               E
and you'll be fine
C#m                     A        
Then walk around in a floating 
          E
chalk outline


[Pre-chorus]
    F#m     A          E
But so it goes, let it be
          F#m
In the gallows I balanced
       A              B
On my toes so I can breathe


[Chorus]
               A              E
But little by little, bit by bit
                B                 
I push it back down with a new 
C#m
habit
            A                 E
If not for long, just for a while
           B                     
I'll bury myself with a great big 
  C#m
smile
      A         E
Oh my my, oh my my
             B                   
We trace ourselves in these chalk 
      C#m
outlines
      A
Oh my my, oh my my
  N.C.
Erase ourselves in thesе chalk 
outlines

[Verse 2]
C#m               A               E
Sertraline and a sip of sеrotonin
C#m                A             
Don't cry 'cause there's a pill 
            E
for everything
C#m             A            
Take this one, wash it down and 
                E
you'll be fine
C#m                        A 
The feeling goes and you draw a 
               E
chalk outline


[Pre-chorus]
    F#m     A          E
But so it goes, let it be
          F#m
In the gallows I balanced
       A              B
On my toes so I can breathe


[Chorus]
               A              E
But little by little, bit by bit
                B                 
I push it back down with a new 
C#m
habit
            A                 E
If not for long, just for a while
           B                     
I'll bury myself with a great big 
  C#m
smile
      A         E
Oh my my, oh my my
             B                   
We trace ourselves in these chalk 
      C#m
outlines
      A         E
Oh my my, oh my my
          B
Erase ourselves


[Bridge]
A                    C#m
It's such a perfect day
                 B                 
Take it just in case, take it just 
    A
in case
A                    C#m
I'm scared of being okay
                    B              
'Cause all things change, all 
    F#m  G#m
things change
A                    C#m
It's such a perfect day
                  B           
It's a beautiful shame, it's a 
             A
beautiful shame
A                    C#m
I'm scared of being okay
                   B
'Cause all things change


[Chorus]
N.C.
But little by little, bit by bit
N.C.
I push it back down with a new habit
N.C.
If not for long, just for a while
N.C.
I'll bury myself with a great big 
smile
      A         E
Oh my my, oh my my
             B                   
We trace ourselves in these chalk 
      C#m
outlines
      A
Oh my my, oh my my
  N.C.
Erase ourselves in thesе chalk 
outlines
