People worry, what are they worrying about today
People worry, what are they worrying about today

F                           G        Am
Seems like there's a good reason to worry worry worry
F                           G            Am
Seems like there's a damn good reason to worry worry worry
F                                    G
I'd sit around, I'd listen to your story 
                       Am
If I wasn't in such a hurry hurry hurry

Verse 2:(with intro pattern)

And I'm so lonely, I don't think I can take it anymore
And I'm so lonely, I just don't know what to do
And I'm so lonely, feel like I'm gonna crawl away and die
And I'm so lonely, feel like I'm gonna hack it apart

A          D                      A
I'm gonna hack hack hack hack it apart
A          D                      A
I'm gonna hack hack hack hack it apart


F                          G            Am
Seems like there's a good reason to be lonely lonely lonely
F                          G                           Am
I gotta get someone or something to make me feel less lonely lonely lonely
F                     G                 Am
I know I could do it if just wasn't so lonely lonely lonely

And I don't even want to hear about your confessions
