verse 1 
          Bb         Dm 
I can't afford these late 
            C        F/A 
nights and staying up 
         Bb       Dm 
My tired eyes are signs 
          C 
I've done way too much 
         Bb     Dm 
La-la-la-lately my 
              C    F/A 
life has been crazy 
              Bb           Dm C 
And I've been feeling stuck 
 
 
verse 2 
       Bb        Dm 
Discovering I've got 
       C         F/A 
lows I never knew 
          Bb 
When everything is a 
 Dm           C 
struggle it's hard to 
                 Bb    Dm 
move They're paralyzing 
              C     F/A 
but I'm still trying 
                     Bb Dm C 
Got all this shit to do 
 
 
Refrain 1 
          F      Bb 
I've been over extended 
           F 
I've been stretching 
           Bb  C 
myself too thin 
 
 
Chorus 1 
                Dm 
I'll take these walls 
              C 
and kick-kick-kick them 
    F Bb            Dm 
down    Take all my problems 
              C         F 
knock them to the ground 
            Bb 
Some days I can't get outta 
           C 
bed But my mama always said 
               Dm 
Life gives you lemons 
                 C  F 
you just work it out 
 
 
verse 3 
            Bb 
I've had my share of fuck 
Dm       C            F/A 
ups I've made mistakes 
         Bb 
Given my best with no 
Dm       C 
luck and cried to sleep 
            Bb 
Look at the good days 
Dm            C       F/A 
I'll wear the bad days 
               Bb       Dm C 
Can't let them get to me 
 
 
Refrain 2 
          F      Bb 
I've been over extended 
           F 
I've been stretching 
           Bb  C 
myself too thin 
 
 
Chorus 2 
            Dm 
And so I'll take these walls 
              C 
and kick-kick-kick them 
    F Bb            Dm 
down    Take all my problems 
              C         F 
knock them to the ground 
            Bb 
Some days I can't get outta 
           C 
bed But my mama always said 
               Dm
