Verse 1F#mA
I don’t like my mind right now
C#mD
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary

Wish that I could slow things down
C#mD
I wanna let go but there’s comfort in the panic

Thinking everything's about me
F#mA
Yeah I drive myself crazy
C#mD
Cause I can’t escape the gravity
ChorusF#mA
I'm holding on
C#mD
Why is everything so heavy
F#mA
Holding on
C#mD
To so much more than I can carry
F#mA
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
C#mD
If I just let go, I'd be set free
F#mA
Holding on
C#mD
Why is everything so heavy
Verse 2F#mA
You say that I'm paranoid
C#mD
But I’m pretty sure the world is out to get me
F#mA
It’s not like I make the choice
C#mD
To let my mind stay so fucking messy
F#mA
I know I'm not the center of the universe
C#mD
But you keep spinning round me just the same

I know I'm not the center of the universe
