[Verse 1]
F# Fm A#m
Like the drive home from a 30-hour flight
G#m
Part of me wants to be dead
C#
Part of me's so happy to be alive
D#m C# F#
When you start crying in the middle of a fight
B
I never wanna see you sad
C#
But that does not mean that you are right
D#m C# F#
And I wake and I pace around the bed
B D#m
Doesn't mean I can't be near you
C#
But being alive makes me stressed
D#m C# F#
You fall asleep as I'm patting your head
B D#m C#
In mine, I am repeating, "I'm glad we are not dead
A#m
I'm glad we are not dead"
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m B
If you need me I'll come running
C# D#m
Would have thought that I'd proved that
B C#
Can divide our despair, could've conquered our sad
[Chorus]
F# B F# F# B
F# F# B G#m
Run into the world, run into the world, run into the world
[Verse2]
D#m C# F#
B D#m F#
D#m C# F#
I don't think it's cool that you started 'cause it is what I sing about
B D#m C#
I'm learning not to romanticise destroying tissue with self-doubt
D#m C# F#
Take time to appreciate what's in between
B D#m C#
When the medicine wears off, and when the sleeping pills kick in
D#m B
If you need me I'll come running
C# D#m
Would have thought that I'd proved that
B C#
Can divide our despair, could've conquered our sad
[Chorus x2]
F# B F# F# B
F# F# B G#m
Run into the world, run into the world, run into the world
F# B
And if you think you can take it, go on just take it all

It's like I'm running for the train that will hit me
Stayed up all night for a sun that won't rise
If nothing gets better, neither will I
If nothing gets better, neither will I

I'll do this so much better next time
I'll do this so much better next time
I'll do this so much better next time
I'll do this so much better next time
