[Verse]
Dm        Gm  A
"Hey, Nate,   how's life?"
              A
I don't know, it's alright
Dm               Gm                                 A
I've been dealin' with some things like every human being
                           Bb                        A
And really didn't sleep much last night
Dm     Gm     A
"I'm sorry," that's fine
Dm            Gm                      A
I just think I need a little me time
Dm            Gm                     A
I just think I need a little free time
Bb                                  A
Little break from the shows and the bus rides, yeah
Dm             Gm       A
Last year I had a breakdown
                                     A
Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost gettin' too loud
  Dm              Gm                    A
Had to see a therapist, then I found out
                 Bb                                A
Somethin' funny's goin' on up in my house
Dm                          Gm                        A
Yeah, I started thinkin' maybe I should move out
                                A
You know, pack my cart, take a new route
Dm            Gm                   A
Clean up my yard, get the noose out
  Bb                 A
Hang up my heart, let it air out
  Dm Gm  A
I've been searchin'
                             A
"What does that mean, Nate?" I've been learning
                           Dm                       Gm
Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens
  A                             Bb                      A
Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect
                       Dm                      Gm
Lookin' at the view, like this concerns me
A
Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous
                       Dm                  Gm
Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry
           A                      Bb
And things might hurt me
                                    A
It's prolly gonna be a long journey, but hey
          Dm  Gm       A
It's worth it,  though

Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats
                   Dm                     Gm                 A
It's been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam
      Bb                        A
Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code
             Dm      Gm               A
Pretty vivid; I admit it, I'm in classic mode
                         A
Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone
             Dm                                          Gm                 A
Talkin' down to me, I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes
           Bb                             A
I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it?
                          Dm    Gm      A
Been makin' a whole lot of changes
              A
Wrote a song about that, you should play it
           Dm              Gm                  A
I get scared when I walk on these stages
              Bb                              A
I look at the crowd and see so many faces, yeah
  Dm               Gm             A
That's when I start to get anxious
                            A
That's when my thoughts can be dangerous
  Dm              Gm                 A               Bb
That's when I put on my makeup and drown in self-hatred
       A
Forget what I'm saying, and-
        N.C.
Where'd the beat go?
Dm    Gm        A
Oh, ain't that somethin'?
                     A
Drums came in, you ain't see that comin'
Dm                 Gm
Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin'
A                               Bb               A
Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach
  Dm                          Gm          A
Throw it back up like I don't want it
               A
Wipe my face, clean off my vomit
  Dm           Gm               A
OCD, tryna push my buttons
      Bb                      N.C.
I said don't touch it, now y'all done it
                Dm                  Gm
I can be critical, never typical
        A
Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal
                        Dm                  Gm
Intimate, but never political, pretty visual
                  A                Bb                           A
Even if you hate it, I'll make it feel like you're in it, though
          Dm                                        Gm                 N.C
You call me what you wanna, but never call me forgettable
A                                                                                 N.C
Leave you deep in thought, I could never swim in the kiddie pool
    Dm                               Gm                 A
Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, it's beautiful
                         Bb                                    A
Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos (Videos, videos)
                  Dm       Gm
Yeah, the sales can rise
  A
Doesn't mean much though when your health declines
                  Dm                    Gm                    A
See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside
                          Bb                             A
That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies
            Dm                  Gm                    A
Try to hold it underwater but it always survives
                A
Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise
                Dm                     Gm                        A
Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies
                   Bb                                        A
You don't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am
           Dm                Gm                     A
The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place
                       A
And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way
                Dm              Gm                       A
It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe
              Bb                             A
Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay?
                             Dm                    Gm         A
Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face
          A
Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great
             Dm                Bb                   A
You'll never be great, not because you're not, but the hate
                      Bb                                     A
Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith (Woo)
                      Dm         Gm                     A
I've been developin', take   a look at the benefits
                       A
Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate
      Dm                       Gm                                A
Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it
                                   Bb                              A
Take a measurement, then bag it up and give me the evidence
              Dm                              Gm         A
Pretty evident; dependable can never be tentative
                A
I'm a gentleman, depending on if I think you're genuine
            Dm                     Bb                    A
Pretty elegant, but not afraid to tell you to get a grip
            Bb                               A
Proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate, ah
 Dm  Gm       A
It's that time again
             A
Better grab your balloons and invite your friends
Dm                  Gm             A
Seatbelts back on, yeah, strap 'em in
                          Bb                  A
Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big
           Dm                   Gm          A
On a road right now that I can't predict
               A
Tell me "Tone that down," but I can't resist
             Dm            Gm              A
Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist
                      Bb                            A
The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, huh
