[Verse 1]
D G
Note to self: clean the living room
D
Do the things you don’t want to do
Bm A G
Maybe, fold that week old pile of clothes
D G
Note to self: get some exercise
D
Feels bad and you have to try
Bm A
But as far as I can tell
G
That’s how life goes
[Chorus]
Bm
And note to self: don’t let yourself
G D
Worry quite as much
G D
It’ll end up fine enough
A Bm A
It always has up until now
Bm
Something else
G
You should think of other people
D
A little more
G D
You shoulda thought of that before
A Bm A
Cause of everything you’ve written down
Em
This is the first note
Bm G
That you wrote for someone else

[Verse 2]
D
Note to self: keep choosing her
G D
Cause she is yours and wonderful
Bm A G
And for-ever is a long time to be sad
D
And one more thing,
Call your mother back
G D
Talk for too long it’s probably half of
Bm A
What she’d like
G
She’s the only mother that you have
[Chorus]
Bm
Oh, don’t let yourself
G D
Worry quite as much
G D
It’ll end up fine enough

[Bridge]
F#m Bm
I don’t know how long I have
D
To keep reminding myself
G
To be who I want to be
D
And not somebody else
F#m Bm
Just thought by now I’d figure out
Em G
The who and how I want to be
[Chorus]
Bm D
Cause I still let myself worry way too much
G D
And it ends up fine enough
A Bm A
It always has and does still now
Bm A G Bm D
I still need to think of other people more
G D
Yes I’ve thought of that before
A Bm A
Maybe one day I’ll figure out
Em
You don’t find peace
F#m G
Until you love somebody else
Em
You don’t find peace
Bm G
Until you love somebody else
