[Verse]
Fmaj7
Look straight at me
and just try to say something you mean
C
I'm a puppet tied up stuffed with anxiety
Fmaj7
No, I won't go to dinner,
you won't watch me eat
C
In five years, you'll still wonder
if I have real feet
Fmaj7
Far too many a time
I have seen my mom cry
C
More than you I presume
'cause your dad didn't die
Fmaj7
So I'll tell you the secret
to staying alive
C
You just laugh and cry harder
and scream to survive
Fmaj7 C
C Dm F Em C Dm F Em
Don't you know how to make me happy?
C Dm F Em C Dm F Em
You let me weep and you do so gladly
C Dm Fm Em C Dm F Em
Fmaj7
Follow me as I tread water
and start to believe
C
That I'm floating above
all these monstrosities
Fmaj7
On your left you'll see colors
that don't yet exist
C
On your right is the home
to all lone pacifists
Fmaj7
Far below is the black hole
that wants me to drown
C
And the bad things I've done
that always stick around
Fmaj7
In your mind, dear is something
that you cannot hold
C
It's a world and you'll have it
until you grow old
Fmaj7 C
C Dm F Em C Dm F Em
Don't you know how to make me happy?
C Dm F Em C Dm F Em
You let me weep and you do so gladly
C Dm Fm Em C Dm F Em
F G Am G
Don't keep me sweet
C F
and toss out the rest
F G Am G
Even though
C F
it's what you do best
F G Am G
You can't keep me sweet
F G Am G
and toss out the rest
F G Am G
I'll never stop
C F
making a mess
C Dm F Em C Dm F Em
Don't you know how to make me happy?
C Dm F Em C Dm F Em C
You let me weep and you do so gladly
[verse 1]
look straight at me and just
try to say something you mean
i’m a puppet tied up
stuffed with anxiety
no i won’t go to dinner
you won’t watch me eat
in five years you’ll still
wonder if i have real feet
far too many a time
i have seen my mom cry
more than you, i presume
’cause your dad didn’t die
so i’ll tell you the secret
to staying alive
you just laugh and cry harder
and scream to survive
[chorus]
don’t you know
how to make me happy
you let me weep
and you do so gladly
[verse 2]
follow me as i tread water
and start to believe
that i’m floating above
all thesе monstrosities
on your left you’ll see colors
that don’t yet еxist
on your right is the home
to all lone pacifists
far below is the black hole
that wants me to drown
and the bad things i’ve done
that always stick around
in your mind, dear, is
something that you cannot hold
it’s a world and you have it
until you grow old
[chorus]
don’t you know
how to make me happy
you let me weep
and you do so gladly
[bridge]
don’t keep me sweet
and toss out the rest
even though
it’s what you do best
you can’t keep me sweet
and toss out the rest
i’ll never stop
making a mess
[chorus]
don’t you know
how to make me happy
you let me weep
and you do so gladly
