[First Part]

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

I'm screaming

[Chorus]

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