           C       E
You're my painkiller
        Am             F
When my brain gets bitter
             Dm
You keep me close
              F  E
You keep me close

      Cmaj7
I got front row seats for the park side livin'
  A#
Feel like the one but I'm one in a billion
Fmaj7               A#
Teenage cynical and I don't really know
C
What's the point of living if my heart gets broken?
  A#
Driving on the road, waiting for head-on collision
   F                                    A#
Springtime funeral, I miss you but I'd rather be
alone

To keep me from
Cmaj7
Heartbreaks, headaches
The doctor says I' m diagnosed with
 C7
Shit days, mistakes
            Fmaj7
But I'll be fine
              A#7
But I' ll be fine

Chorus:
                 Cmaj7
'Cause you're my painkiller
         A#
When my brain gets bitter
              F
You keep me close
                A#7
When I've been miserable
        Am
And it takes forever
            C
To let my brain get better
              F
You keep me close
             A#
You keep me close

Window seats as the plane starts leavin'
Miss those streets where my knees were bleedin'
Homesick veteran
I left my bed again
Oh, lookin' for

Heartbreaks, headaches
The doctor says I'm diagnosed with
Shit days, mistakes
But I'll be fine
But I'll be fine

Chorus

C             A#maj7                F
Please, never leave me 'cause I' m barely
holdin' on
              Dm                  F
You give me a reason to keep on breathin'

Chorus:
'Cause you're my painkiller
When my brain gets bitter
You keep me close
When I've been miserable
And it takes forever
To let my brain get better
You keep me close, oh woah
You keep me close

I know you hear me (Close)
Yeah (Close)
Close
