a song about anxiety, written to try take back some power over it.

lyrics & chords (capo 3):

Am - (G) - F - Em - F - G (the first G is just a quick passing chord)

I'm on an overcrowded train
fighting an overcrowded brain
and all these bags under my eyes 
hold up my compromise 

maybe I should change just everything, anything
did you not learn anything in school?
could have played by the rules 
could be happy in a different way

struggling with the London rent
they said it would be hard now I know what they meant
I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl
but I’m here for the music, I know

distracted!
can I say what I mean, can I mean what I say
why can’t I figure out how I feel when I wake up everyday

(pre:)
Dm - G - (Em) (Em just a quick passing chord)
Dm - G
facing the world with the same old logic
overanalysing everything is tragic
and maybe some things they will never make sense
so I tackle it all but I'm not making a dent

(chorus:)
F - C - G
F - C - Em

and I think my brain is breaking
and it’s just myself I’ve been blaming
it’s frustrating
I just wanna know why

and I know no good will come of it
I wish that I could just be done with it
but I’m sinking
I just wanna know why i’m overthinking

I'm an outcast, to be left behind 
I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind
there's a danger that I'm gonna pour my heart out to a total stranger 
In a bar

And they're not gonna wanna hear 
No, they're just there to sip their beer 
not hear about problems to solve
“God this girl's so self involved”

I play it out my head 
I'm trying to make good choices 
I hear voices 
they can't pick one side 
help! i look so stupid 
sitting there tongue tied 

meltdown! all i can hear 
is code red, code red
got a problem in the control centre
in my own head 

(pre)
(chorus)
