[Intro]
Bm F#m E
[Verse 1]
Bm
She said, "Are you okay?"
F#m
And I'm staring into space
E
It's making her nervous cause one thing is certain
E
I don't have my head on straight
Bm
We're trying to get through each week
F#m
On two or three hours of sleep
E
I say to be patient
E
That we're going to make it
D
I have to admit that I'm struggling
[Pre-Chorus]
D
They say take it slow
F#m
But the world keeps spinning
E
And that I don't control
F#m
And so there I go
E
Trying to act normal
E
So they won't know that
[Chorus]
Bm F#m E
I'm just trying to hold my shit together
E
Together, darling
Bm F#m E
I'm just trying to hold my shit together
E
Together, darling
[Verse 2]
Bm
They say that they sympathize
F#m
I'm grateful they take the time
E
But bringing it up at this six year old birthday
E
It kinda fucks up my vibe
Bm
We end on an awkward note
F#m
I make the most awkward joke
E
Too dark to be funny
E
I shouldn't have come, it'd be weird to go home
D
And I'm struggling
[Pre-Chorus]
D
They say take it slow
F#m
But the world keeps spinning
E
And that I don't control
F#m
And so there I go
E
Trying to act normal
E
So they won't know
[Chorus]

I'm just trying to hold my shit together
