[G]
Hey, I'm Julia Michaels, and this is my song [E] Anxiety.
I wrote this song about a year ago, and I've always wanted to write a song about it because
it's something that I struggle with.
And it just took me being in the right place at the right time with the right people to do it.
So, this is Anxiety.
[C]
[Am]
[Dm] [G]
[C] My friends, they wanna take me [Am] to the movies.
[Dm] I tell them this shit while [G] I'm holding hands with my [C] depression.
And right when I think [Am] of overcoming,
[Dm] anxiety starts [G] kicking in and teach that shit [C] a lesson.
Oh, I try my best just [Am] to be social.
[G]
I [Dm] make all these plans [G] with friends and hope they call and cancel.
Then [C] I overthink about [Am] the things I'm missing.
[G]
Now, as [Dm] soon as [G] I was with them, [C] I feel like I'm always [Am] apologizing for feeling [Dm] like I'm
out of my [G] mind when I'm doing just [C] fine.
But my exes all say [Am] that I'm hard to deal with, [Dm] and I admit it, [G] and I admit it.
[C] Oh, but [Am] all my friends, they [D] don't know what [G] it's like, what [C] it's like.
[Am] They don't understand [D] why I [G] can't sleep through [C] the night.
I've been told [A] that I could take something to fix [D] it.
Damn, I wish it [G] was as simple.
[C]
But [A] all my friends, they [D] don't know [G] what it's like.
[C]
Always wanting [Am] to be one of those people in the room [Dm] that says something and everyone
puts [G] their hand up.
Like, if [C] you're sad, put your hand up.
[Am] If you hate someone, put your [Dm] hand up.
If you're scared, put [G] your hand up.
[C] Feel like I'm always apologizing [Am] for feeling like [Dm] I'm out of my mind [G] when I'm doing just [C] fine.
But my exes all say that I'm [Am] hard to deal with, [D] and I admit it, [B] and I [G] admit it.
It's true.
[C]
All [Am] my friends, they [D] don't know [G] what it's like, what [C] it's like.
[Am] They don't understand [D] why I [G] can't sleep through the [C] night.
I've been [Am] told that I could take something to [D] fix it.
Damn, I wish it, I wish it [G] was as simple.
[C] But all [A] my friends, they don't [D] know what [G] it's like.
[C] And it got all these thoughts [Am] running through my mind [G] [Dm] all the damn time, [G] and I can't seem
to shut it [C] off.
I think I'm doing fine.
[Am] Most of the time, [Dm] I think that I'm alright, [G] but I can't seem to [C] shut it off.
I've got all these thoughts [Am] running through my [G] mind [Dm] all the damn time, [G] and I can't seem
to [C] shut it off.
I think I'm doing [Am] fine.
Most of the time, [D] I think that I'm alright, [G] but I can't seem to shut [C] it off.
[G] [Am] Yeah.
[Dm]
[G] [C]
But [Am] all my friends, they [D] don't know what [G] it's like, what [D] [C] it's like.
[Am] They don't [D] understand why I [G] can't sleep through the [C] night.
I've been [Am] told that I could take something to fix [D] it.
Damn, I wish it, I wish [G] it was as simple.
[C]
But all [Am] my friends, they [G] don't [Dm] know what [G] it's like, what [C] it's like.
[Am] [D]
What [G] it's like, [D] what [C] it's like.
[Am] [D]
What [G] it's like, what [C] it's like.
