[Intro]
C F (x8)
[Verse 1]
C F
I wake up at 8AM, kiss her face and worry about the day ahead
C F
Make the bed while I’m still in it, a trick I learned from the internet, OK? Ok
C F
Take my dose of adderall, 5mg should be enough today
C F
Because I can’t focus on anything that isn’t on my phone or a video game anymore
[Chorus]
G F
I don’t like being home, I feel my roots begin to grow
G
Into a ground that was never meant to be
F C F C
Permanent for me
F C F C F
Permanent for me
[Verse 2]
C F
Next to the piano bench, on Christmas day, I asked her to marry me (She said yes)
C F
We spent the whole day traveling from house to house to tell our families
C F
and that night she asked knowingly “What does this mean for our plans of leaving for the west coast?”
C F
I said “Cassie, just one more year, then we’ll make our move away from here.
F
I swear, I swear I swear.”
F
I think I hope I swear
[Chorus]
G F
She said “I can’t stand living here, the more I do the more I fear
G
The ground below will slowly come to be
F C F C
Permanent for me”
F C F C F
Permanent for me
[Bridge]
F C G
Should I let my heart get swallowed by this fear of giving in
F C G
Or stay hidden here forever on the beach of indifference?
F C G
The longer it’s in front of me the less clear it becomes
F
Do I want this to be permanent for me?
[Solo]
C F (x8)
[Outro]
C F
Permanent for me.
C F
Permanent for me.
C F
I hope it’s not permanent for me.
C F
I hope it’s not permanent for me.
C F
I hope it’s not permanent for me.
C F
I hope it’s not permanent for me.
