F5
Oh-oo-oh!
C5
Oh-oo-oh!


[Verse 1]
F5                           C
Paltry, my ambitions have become so small
     C5                              F
I stay in my bed, my body shakes with tremulous lows
           Am
And only God knows I'm trying to reach glorious heights
           C
From a tiny stone that always gets kicked and thrown
C
And my mind's unravelling over the gravelly desert highway of my soul
C
Something's gotta give
F                                  Am
I'm not even that old, I have a low pain threshold
       C                     F                 Am
Maybe that's why things that shouldn't hurt me hurt me so


[Pre-Chorus]
C
I don't mind
Am
I don't mind
                   F
Seeing you leave me behind

I don't mind
          C
I don't mind
         Am                        Dm
I will continue to try to be kind


[Chorus]
            C                                 Dm    F Am  
And the furthest I reach is my body height
     C                       Dm
And I have spent glorious nights
 F                       C
Waiting to be alright
  F                     Am
Waiting to be alright
 F                     Dm 
Waiting to be alright
F                    C     Am                
Waiting to be alright


[Verse 2]
    F5                                  C
Sultry, I wink an eye and it feels wrong
                C5                                      
Please excuse me I'm not physical
        F                                          
My eyelashes are just awkwardly long

I have the need to rescue myself
                  Am
Because I'm much too afraid to ask somebody else
             C
On the 14th of August I will turn into dust

There goes all of the people that I thought I could trust
          F                                            Am
Is that really the way it is? Is love so desperately weak?
        C                  F                       Am
I am climbing the charts but my heart is bleak


[Pre-Chorus]
C
I don't mind
Am
I don't mind
          F
Seeing you leave me behind

I don't mind
          C
I don't mind
       Am                  Dm
I will continue to try to be kind


[Chorus]
C                            Dm           F Am  
And the furthest I reach is my body height
     C                Dm
And I have spent glorious nights
 F               C
Waiting to be alright
  F              Am
Waiting to be alright
 F               Dm 
Waiting to be alright
F               C     Am                
Waiting to be alright


[Bridge]
C
I don't mind
Am
I don't mind
          F
Seeing you leave me behind
      Dm                F
I'm trying to climb to glorious heights
        Am              C
To the precipice of my mind
C                          Am
For now I'm lying alone in the dark
             F                       Am
Trying to mount my hind legs
     C                      Am 
For now I'm lying about my heart
              F        C5
So that you think I'm fine


[Chorus]
C                          Dm        F Am  
And the furthest I reach is my body height
     C                  Dm
And I have spent glorious nights
 F               C
Waiting to be alright
 F               Am
Waiting to be alright
 F              Dm 
Waiting to be alright
F                C     Am                
Waiting to be alright


[Outro]
Dm            Am
Waiting to be alright
Dm              C
Waiting to be alright
 Dm               F    Am   C5
Waiting to be alriiiiiiiiiiiiight
