[Verse 1]
      A
I try not to give a fuck about the little things
                F#m
Yet still every particle of pressure

Got my psyche circling the drain
D
But shit I can’t complain

Compared to many folks I got it great
    E
So, why's it always seem
                          F#m
That everything was better yesterday
A
Sure, I suppose that I could down another fifth
        F#m
To help myself forget

Pocket the grenade and pull the pin
    D
But giving in is overrated

And I’m sick of being faded
        E
And I’d like my epitaph to read

They made it

[Chorus]

So, we’ll have to
         A
Wipe the sweat from our brows

Tears from our eyes
               F#m
Booze from our mouths

I know shits going south

But we got this
        D                
Just as long as we don’t cave
       E
To the escape route
          D         E                    A
Just chug along and everything will play out fine

            F#m
Or maybe it won't
            D
Maybe we're fucked
            A
Maybe we’re born to die
                    E
And all shit out of luck
                     A        
Plus, it does feel a bit narcissistic
    D
To deny our existence
      E        D                   A
Is an accident congealed from the dust

[Verse 2]
E               E
How I’d love to find myself
                    A
Some solace in some pollyannaish paradise
    A
And view the glass half full
                 F#m
But it’s just so difficult

To not fill every glass in sight with booze
            D
I’ve got so many self-inflicted bullet wounds

In both my feet
            E
That it’s a miracle I ever leave the bed

To walk the streets
       A
When I do a wave of panic washes over me
                   F#m
And shrivels up my lungs

Can’t seem to act the way I’m supposed to be
A                  D
Without catching a buzz

Meaning is tough to find when anchored to a drug
E
So, I hold dear the hope

With work one day I'll live a life unplugged

[Chorus]

So, we’ll
         A
Wipe the sweat from our brows

Tears from our eyes
               F#m
Booze from our mouths

I know shits going south

But we got this
        D                
Just as long as we don’t cave
       E
To the escape route
          D         E                    A
Just chug along and everything will play out fine

            F#m
Or maybe it won’t
             D
Maybe we’re screwed
                 A
Maybe we’re just arbitrary blips
            E
All born to lose
                    F#m
Maybe searching for meaning or hope
   D
To deny life is pointless
         E             D            A
And this consciousness shit’s all a rouse

[Verse 3]
    A
For every happy thought I’ve ever had
                               F#m
There dwells a voice within my head

That speaks to sabotage my comfort
                    D
With an existential dread

Oh, how nice it’d be to just enjoy one day
            E
Without the vacuum of anxiety to suck the fun away

            A
Like it’s a gorgeous day outside
                        F#m
Too bad that everyone I know will die

It doesn’t matter what we leave behind
          D
We’re all standing in place

Just launching arrows at the sky
           E
The finish line of this rat race

Is just our imminent demise
           A
See what I mean?
