Drinking Song For The Socially Anxious

Eb5 In the back of a cab Like a puppet with no strings Bbadd11 Untangling my headphones cos sometimes they’re the only thing C5 That keeps my head in place Eb5 That keeps my head in place Eb5 Arriving at the door I hope to god I’m not the first Bbadd11 My heart is tearing pages from that funny story I rehearsed C5 And I know I won’t be long Eb5 Cos I know I don’t belong Eb5 Cos though my jokes are my armour And my kindness is my sword Bbadd11 The party swirls around me in a dress I can’t afford C5 And I do my best to breathe Eb5 But they’re stealing all the air Eb5 And the hum from the fridge’ll Sing me soft littlе vigils Bbadd11 As all my steps too far keep saying ‘this is who you are’ C5 I should go home Ab5 I’m not lonеly I just like being on my own C5 And I’ll sing silence Bb5 And ask my glass of wine for guidance Ab5 Bb5 I might not make it tonight C5 And I’ll speak with my eyes Bb5 You’ll think I’m weird, one sympathises Ab5 Bb5 I might not make it tonight N/A Because I don’t find this easy like you C5 Bb5 Gonna go home and show my cat some memes Ab5 Cos he’s awesome Bb5 Like me Cm Bb Eb Eb5 Now I’m lying on a bed full of coats Bbadd11 Trying desperately to cope When you open up the door, say something stupid like C5 ‘You’re lying on some coats’ I say I know Ab5 It’s just sometimes nice to feel what it’s like to be in someone else’s coat Eb5 And we’re bursting at the seams Cos the noise is crushing us Bbadd11 We think it’s so much worse than it seems But that voice unsaid is rushing us C5 And in a moment of total rapture And with every strength I have Ab5 I ask if you play D&D And your face lights up like you’ve woken up C5 From this endless fucking nightmare of pretending this is you Bb5 This is us, this is me and this how we’re meant to be Ab5 But your smile tells me I’m safe And that voice unspoken’s heard Bb5 Cos if god make us all in his image Bb Then god’s a fucking nerd Cm And I’ll sing silence Bb And ask my glass of wine for guidance Ab Bb I might not make it tonight Cm And I’ll speak with my eyes Bb You think I’m neat, I’m not surprised Ab Bb That I might not make it tonight Cm Bb Ab Bb Because I don’t find this easy like you Cm Bb Gonna go home and dress my cat up like batman Ab Bb Cos he’s awesome like me Cm Bb Ab Bb And I don’t find this easy like you Cm I’m not lonely Bb Ab I just like being on my own Bb With you Cm Bb And I’ll sing silence and ask my glass of wine for guidance Ab Bb I might not make it tonight Cm Bb Ab Gonna go home and tell my cat I’m not lonely if I’m Bb With you Eb5 In the back of a cab, like two puppets with no strings Bbadd11 We share a pair of headphones, cos sometimes they’re the only things C5 That keep our heads in place Eb5 That keep our heads in place
