[First Part]

      C                                     Em               D
These days are the last cause 'cause no one wants to hear my voice
             C                                  Em            Am
I'm miss the days when I was gettin' texts that I could just avoid
        C                             Em           D
And I'm tryin' to be calm and not pre-emptively destroy
         F                              Em            D
I wonder who he really loves me, or who wants to be employed
      C                                  Em         D
Every time I'm in the real world, I just end up paranoid
            C                               G           Am
And stay at home all by my lonesome with my little baby boy
      C                                    Em               D
And I watch him on the kitchen floor, he's playin' with his toys
      F                            Em                  D
And I never wanna leave him, but I don't think it's my choice
       C                                Em              D
So I'm basking in these moments where I feel a shred of joy
            C                                    Em               Am
But I don't think my pleas are heard because I'm screaming in the void

I'm screaming

[Chorus]

C                        Em       D
 Please, God, oh, you've gotta be sick
    C                                Em      D
Why do you make it hurt and why's it over so quick?
C                 Em      D
 Please, God, I'm finally loved
  F                              Em        D
I finally found somebody I don't wanna get rid of
C                   Em      D
 Please, God, is it busy up there? (Please, God, Please, God)
    C                         Em         D
You took a little while to respond to my prayer
C                      Em           D
 Please, God, no, this doesn't seem fair
    C                              G        Am
I'm tryin' not to show it, but I'm terribly scared

[Chorus]

C                Em          D
 Please, God, or whoever you are
C                Em          D
 Please, God, or whoever you are
C                Em          D
 Please, God, or whoever you are
C                G           Am
 Please, God, or whoever you are
