Verse 1

[Em]Wake up to a cloudy day
[G]Dark rolls in and it starts to rain
[D]Staring out to the cage-like walls
[A]Time goes by and the shadows crawl
[Em]Crushin' Candy Crush-ing pills
[G]Got no job, mom pays my bills
[D]Textin', Ex's, get my feels
[A]Sweatin' bullets, Netflix-chills
[Em]World's out there singin' the blues
[G]Twenty more dead on the evening news
[D]Think to myself: "really, what's the use?"
[A]I'm just like you, I was born to lose

Pre-Chorus 1

[Em]Why oh why can't [G]you just fix me?
[D]When all I want's to feel numb
[A]But the medication's all gone
[Em]Why oh why does [G]God hate me?
[D]When all I want's to get high
[A]And forget this so-called life

Chorus

[Em]I am so frickin' bored
[G]Nothing to do today
[D]I guess I'll sit around and [A]medicate (I medicate)
[Em]I am so frickin' bored
[G]Nothing to do today
[D]I guess I'll sit around and [A]medicate (I medicate)

Verse 2

[Em]Can't wait to feel better than I ever will
[G]Attack that shit like a kid on Benadryl
[D]Chase it down with a hopeful smile
[A]Hate myself, if I can go for miles
[Em]They say family is all you need
[G]Someone to trust can help you breathe
[D]Inhale that drug, but you start to choke
[A]You follow the outs of an inside joke

Pre-Chorus 2

[Em]Why oh why can't [G]you just fix me?
[D]When all I want's to feel numb
[A]But the medication's all gone
[Em]Why oh why does [G]God hate me?
[D]Cause I've seen enough of it, heard enough of it, [A]felt enough of it
I've had enough of it

Chorus

[Em]I am so frickin' bored
[G]Nothing to do today
[D]I guess I'll sit around and [A]medicate (I medicate)

[G]Nothing to do today
[D]I guess I'll sit around and [A]medicate

Bridge

[Em]Superman is a hero
[G]But only when his mind is clear though
[D]He needs that fix like the rest of us
[A]So he's got no fear when he saves that bus
[Em]All the stars in the Hollywood Hills
[G]Snapchat Live while they pop them pills
[D]All those flavors of the rainbow
[A]Too bad that shit don't work though

Post-Bridge

[Em]Your friends are high right now
[G]Your parents are high right now
[D]That hot chick's high right now

[G]Your priest is high right now
[D]Everyone's high as fuck right now
A (A)
And no one's ever coming down
