Empty Chords by Olivia O'Brien

[Verse 1]
Am
I can't handle these pressures
F
all I can say is this stress hurts
C
Things are supposed to get better
G
I just need to put myself first
Am
I'm always trying my hardest 
F
not to pick myself apart This 
C
energy's killin' my vibes now
G
Sometimes I just wanna to drown out
Am
All of the thoughts in my mind
F
Too much going on at the same time
C
I wish it would stop and I've tried but
G
Life just sucks then we all die

[Pre-Chorus]
Am              F     
That's just reality, yeah, don't lie to me
C              G
Yeah I'm fucked up but I don't wanna be
Am
I wonder if I'm good enough
F
But maybe I've had just too much
C
To drink, to smoke, to swallow
G
I'm drowning up my sorrows
Am
There's rules I'll never follow
F
Pretend there's no tomorrow
C           G
    I wish there was no tomorrow

[Chorus]
Am                    F
But I'm empty inside, yeah I'm empty inside
C                               G
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die
Am                    F
Yeah I'm empty inside, I just don't feel alive
C                     G
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die

[Verse 2]
Am
Wish I could erase my memories,
F 
so I could stop feeling so empty
C
I wish that shit wasn't so tempting
G
But it's hard to resist when there's plenty 
Am
of things I could do to fuck me up
F
I want to let go, but I'm feeling so stuck
C
So all I can do is fill up my cup
G
And sit here alone hoping no one disrupts

[Pre-Chorus]
Am              F     
That's just reality, yeah, don't lie to me
C              G
Yeah I'm fucked up but I don't wanna be
Am
I wonder if I'm good enough
F
But maybe I've had just too much
C
To drink, to smoke, to swallow
G
I'm drowning up my sorrows
Am
There's rules I'll never follow
F
Pretend there's no tomorrow
C           G
    I wish there was no tomorrow

[Chorus]
Am                    F
But I'm empty inside, yeah I'm empty inside
C                               G
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die
Am                    F
Yeah I'm empty inside, I just don't feel alive
C                     G
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die

[Bridge]
Am
My body's shaking
F
My head is aching
C                           G
It feels like my heart is breaking
Am
My body's shaking
F
My head is aching
C                         G
I can't fix this mess I'm making

[Chorus]

But I'm empty inside, yeah I'm empty inside
C                               G
And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die
Am                    F
