Growing Sideways Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
So I [G]took my medication
and I [Bm]poured my trauma out
On some [C]sad-eyed middle aged man's
overpriced new leather couch
And we [Em]argued about Jesus,
finally [G]found some middle ground
I said [C]"I'm cured"

[Verse 2]
And I [G]divvied up my anger
into [Bm]thirty separate parts
Keep the [C]bad shit in my liver
and the rest around my heart
I'm still [Em]angry at my parents
for what [G]their parents did to them
But it's a [C]start

[Chorus 1]
But I ignore [Em]things, and I move [G]sideways
Until I [C]forget what I felt in the first [G]place
At the end of the [C]day
I know there are [G]worse ways
To stay [D]alive
'Cause everyone's [Em]growing
and everyone's [G]healthy
I'm terri[C]fied that I might never have met [G]me
Oh, if my [C]engine works perfect on emp[G]ty
I guess I'll [D]drive[G][D]
I guess I'll [G]drive

[Verse 3]
So I for[G]got my medication,
fell [Bm]into a manic high
Spent my [C]savings at a Lulu,
now I'm suffering in style
Why's [Em]pain so damn impatient?
Ain't like it's [G]got a place to be
Keeps [C]rushing me

[Chorus 2]
But I ignore [Em]things, and I move [G]sideways
Until I [C]forget what I felt in the first [G]place
At the end of the [C]day
I know there are [G]worse ways
To stay [D]alive
'Cause everyone's [Em]growing
and everyone's [G]healthy
I'm terri[C]fied that I might never have met [G]me
Oh, if my [C]engine works perfect on emp[G]ty
I guess I'll [D]drive[G]
[D]And if all

[Bridge 1]
[C]my life was wasted[G]
I don't [Em]mind, I'll watch it [D]go
Yeah, it's [C]better to die numb
[G]Than feel it all[D][G][D]
Oh, if [C]all my time was was[G]ted
I don't [Em]mind, I'll watch it [D]go
Yeah, it's [C]better to die numb
[G]Than feel it all[D]

[Chorus 3]
But I ignore [Em]things, and I move [G]sideways
Until I [C]forget what I felt in the first [G]place
At the end of the [C]day
I know there are [G]worse ways
To stay [D]alive[G][D]
'Cause everyone's [Em]growing
and everyone's [G]healthy
I'm terri[C]fied that I might never have met [G]me
Oh, if my [C]engine works perfect on emp[G]ty
I guess I'll [D]drive[G][D]
I guess I'll [G]drive
