[Verse]
C                   Dm  Am
  On the bus on her way home
                          G  F
Her heart beats like a metronome
C                        Dm   Am
  It doesn't speed up or slow down
                        G    F
But it gets weaker with each pound
                           C    G
And mine beats much in the same way
                            Dm   Am
When I've been sleepwalking all day
                   G               
After spending the night tossing 
                   F
and turning with the light still on

[Verse]
C                           Dm Am
  She said she's never felt so low
                         G   F
And can't go on just getting paid
C                            
  For taking shit from wannabe 
  Dm  Am
teachers
                       G   F
That just couldn't get the grades
                     C  G
And carving out an existence
                          Dm   Am
Instead of a living don't make sense

                    G
And I can that look in her eyes
She wants to sever ties and walk the
 F
 other way

Because she knows that if she stays

[Chorus]
                       C
That she'll be filed away
              F
Just like the rest of us
          Am                       
We're all paperwork in folders that
        F
 don't like to make a fuss
            C
And confuse never taking risks at 
all
   F
As being completely comfortable
    Am              G              
And don't mind sacrificing all our 
F
dreams
            F                
For so much less than we ever 
              C
thought that we would
             G                     
And dwell on corrections we'd make 
        C
if only we could
         Bm        Am             
And then take out loans to pay for
         G
 our own headstones
                      F
When we could use the time we spend 
focusing on the end
           G                 C
To fix the part that's in between

[Verse 2]
           F                  
But I know tomorrow is fucking 
                  C
useless when you can't get through 
today
             G                     
It's hard to get your point across 
                C                G
when you've ran out of things to say
           F                       
And in the off chance you think of 
C
something
    G                     Dm
The words just don't come out

[Verse 2]
      F                          
And I know last year was dire and 
      C
this year might be the same
       G                      
But remember you're not just a 
         C                 G
number, you're not just a name
               F                 G
You're not disposable, and above all
 you know

[Bridge]
             Am                    
It shouldn't feel this right to be 
 F
broke and alone
             C                     
It shouldn't feel this right to be 
G
broke and alone
             Am                    
It shouldn't feel this right to be 
 F
broke and alone
             C                     
It shouldn't feel this right to be 
G
broke and alone
                      Am       
You know it shouldn't feel this 
              F
right to be broke and alone
        C                          
And you know that someday soon 
         G
we'll find a place to call home
    Am                             
And even though she looks like 
     F             G
she's in despair every day

[Otro]
                               C
She doesn't have to be filed away,
F G              Am         Bm 
    She doesn't have to be 
     C
filed away,
F G              Am         Bm 
    She doesn't have to be 
     C
filed away,
F G              Am         Bm 
    She doesn't have to be 
     F
filed away,
           C
and nor do we
