G D/F#
I cannot speed it up
A Em
But I can slow it down
G D/F# A
The pace at which I let it all spill out
G D/F#
I am staring at the exit
A Em
I know the pathway to the door
G D/F# A
But everybody knows I love a detour
G D/F#
I'm throwing tantrums
G Em A G
I'm picking fights with everyone I love
G D/F# Em A
It's becoming clearer and clearer
G D/F# Em A
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
G D/F#
It's becoming clearer and clearer
Em A
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
G D/F# A
I liked it when I slammed the car door in your
Em
Face
G D/F#
I stood up our best friends
A A
And left you there to explain
G D/F# A Em
There is no dignity in self-selecting out of love
G D/F#
But I swear it's the only option
A A
The moment the sadness comes
G D/F#
I'm throwing tantrums
G Em A G
I'm picking fights with everyone I love
G D/F# Em A
It's becoming clearer and clearer
G D/F# Em A
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
G D/F#
It's becoming clearer and clearer
Em A
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
G D A A
Choosing the small sad for longer does no favors
G D A A
Choosing the big sad for shorter sucks on paper
G D/F# Em
Then I lay with you, tell the truth
A
'Til I'm ugly crying
G D/F# Em A
That didn't help to call myself 'ugly' while I'm crying
G D/F#
I'm pretty, I'm brave
Em D/F# A G
And I did the best that I could today
G D/F#
It's becoming clearer and clearer
Em A
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
