[Intro]
F# F# F# F# F#
[Verse 1]
A#
I'm afraid that I will one day yell too loud
B
and I will blow my voice out
Bm
and I will bleed out of my mouth
F#
and I won't ever talk again
A#
I won't ever laugh again
B
and I won't ever sing again
G#
to a lover, friend, or crowd
[Pre-chorus]
B Bm
But I try not to think about things like that because
[Chorus]
F#
I wanna be happy
A#
I wanna be the smartest person in the room
B G#
and I want everyone to notice when I am present
F#
I wanna be laughing
A#
at a joke that Jimmy said
B Bm
in a diner in Poughkeepsie and I am surrounded by all my friends
F# A# B Bm
F# A# B G#
[Verse 2]
F#
I know
A#
that it must be hard for you to handle
B
when she is drunk and you're alone
Bm
and you just wanna go home
F#
just know that you are strong
A#
stronger than me
B G#
stronger than I could ever be in this life
[Pre-chorus]
B Bm
but I try not to think about things like that because
[Chorus 2]
F#
I'm gonna be happy
A#
I'm gonna be the brightest person in the room
B G#
and everyone will notice when I am absent
F#
I'm gonna be laughing
A#
at a joke that my best friend said
B Bm
in a restaurant far away from here surrounded by all my friends
[Bridge]
G#
but just know
B
that you got my attention
G#
and I can only hope
B
that I hold your attention
[Outro]
G#
just know
B
that you got my attention
G#
and I hope
B
that I hold your attention
