G                           F#m
Closing my eyes, counting sheep
Em                          C
Gun in my mouth, trying to sleep
D                           C                     G
Everything ends, everything has to

Get well balloon, going insane
Em                             C
Weight of the world, papier-mâché
D                              C                     G
Gone with the wind, out into nothing

[Chorus]

Em                      C               D       C
I'm just trying to be easy, agreeable
Em                     C         D             C                       G
I don't want to seem needy to anyone, including you

Little ______ drowned in a pool
Em                       C
______ got killed walking to school
D                           C                        G
Hope it was slow, hope it was painful
G                       F#m
Life is a gas, what can you do?
Em                      C
Catheter piss, fed through a tube
D                             C                          G
A cyst in the brain, blood on the bamboo
G                           F#m
Highway to hell's littered with signs
Em                                      C
Everything last thing they advertise

I want to buy, I want to sell too

But I don't want to seem greedy, I'm generous

I'm just trying to be pleasing to everyone, including you

And anything's possible if you feel the same

Early to bed, early to rise

Insulin shots, alkaline produce
G                               F#m
Temperature's cool, blood pressure's fine
Em                                      C
One twenty-one over seventy-five
D                              C                         G
Scream if you want, no one can hear you

[Chorus]

Em                  C               D      C
I just want to be easy, acceptable
