G C Em C


[Verse]
G
Last I heard, Nick's still driving Lyft
    C
And Richie’s working the midnight shift
        Em
Of that motel down in Elsinore
      C
He's dodging all the meth heads
    G
I'm working my four jobs
           C
Right down to my fragile bones
        Em
Finding out there’s nothing left inside
            C
Except some space that they

Just haven't took quite yet


[Chorus]
Em       C            G
  But if nothing gets better
D
Tell me what that means
Em                   C         G
  This "hard-earned" life is a joke
                D             Em
Feels more like drowning to me
        C                   G D Em
There's no reason to believe
        C                   G
There's no reason to believe


[Verse]
G
My brother is a hardworking man
   C
He takes what he's given
                        Em
And gives everything he can

He's talking 'bout fleeing the country
   C
Or faking his death

Says they're after his money
G
And my mother lost a child
     C
When she was twenty-three
                      Em
She shouldn’t have to lose a couple more
                      C
To some bad loans and undiagnosed depression
        Am                      C
Still I think maybe this is all we’re meant for
                     Am
Brown bags outside a Circle K
                       D
My tooth falls out and hits the ground

You know I can't dream bigger


[Chorus]
Em       C            G
  But if nothing gets better
D
Tell me what that means
Em                   C         G
  This "hard-earned" life is a joke
                D             Em
Feels more like drowning to me
        C                   G D Em
There's no reason to believe
        C                   G
There's no reason to believe


[Verse]
        D
Talking shit on each other
   C                                  G
In between talking about running away
          D                       C
Watch the years disappear up our noses
                              G
Talking about the same things
        D
All the shit we won't get done
     C
The reasons we could
                            G
Barely leave the house today
              D
Knowing it's sad at this point
            C                            G C G
We can’t be happy with the work that pays



G
Thinking I'll die young
          C
Shouldn't feel like a relief
G
I guess that it's a joke
                C
And there's no reason to believe
G
Thinking I'll die young
          C
Shouldn't feel like a relief
G
I guess that it's a joke
               C
And there's no reason to believe
G
Thinking I'll die young
          C
Shouldn't feel like a relief
G
I guess that it's a joke
               c
And there's no reason to believe
