[Verse 1]
C                  D
Once somebody said to me
Em                (Bm)
Mother Mary let it be
       C                    D     Em (Bm)
And it helps to deal with my anxiety
       C                       D
See, I built a wall, it didn't hold
           Em                         (Bm)
There's so much outside of my control
       C                      D           Em      (Bm)
In the now, right now, I'm just trying to breathe


[Pre-Chorus]
C                                       D       Em   (Bm)
Never burn a bridge 'less you're a real good swimmer
C                                      D          Em (Bm)
If you start to look around, everybody else is winning
C                                     D     Em (Bm)
It's okay to feel like you're running on empty
C                                   D      Em
 Life will let you down, try not to get bitter


[Chorus]
(Bm)           Em      D       Bm      C
Try not to get bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
Em      D       Bm      C
Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
Em           D               Bm           C
I'm a lot of things but I've never been a quitter
Em                D         Bm         C
Life will let you down, try not to get bitter


[Verse 2]
C                     D       Em                              (Bm)
Once somebody said my friend, that the answer's blowing in the wind
C                      D         Em
So I'm not the only one who's wondering
     (Bm)        C                D          Em
Some days I hate everything, life don't make no sense to me
        (Bm)        C
I'm standing in the mirror now
        (Bm)          Em            (Bm)
I'm standing here, I'm screaming out


[Pre-Chorus]
C                                       D       Em   (Bm)
Never burn a bridge 'less you're a real good swimmer
C                                      D          Em (Bm)
If you start to look around, everybody else is winning
C                                     D     Em (Bm)
It's okay to feel like you're running on empty
C                                   D      Em
 Life will let you down, try not to get bitter

Try not to get bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
Em      D       Bm      C
Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
Em           D               Bm           C
I'm a lot of things but I've never been a quitter
Em                D         Bm         C
Life will let you down, try not to get bitter


[Post-Chorus]
               Em  D  Bm  C
Try not to get Oooooooooooooh
