Tone: [G]
Intro:
[G] [C] [G] [G]
Verse:
[G]My income [G7]will depend [C]entirely on my [D]declining mental health
[G]Whether I can [G7]force myself to [C]write is what [D]determines all my wealth
[G]And so I'll [G7]write a simple [G6]song and you can sing along
[C]It's boring but it's catchy, it may [D]suck but God it's catchy
Chorus:
[G]So I'll sacrifice my [G7]skills in [Cmaj7]order to pay off [Cm]my bills
The [G]algorithm [G7]hates hard work [C]and I don't [D]blame them
The [G]work that takes me [G7]hours, just [Cmaj7]sits until it sours
You [C]can't afford to take too long whe[Cm]when you're a sensation
So [C]cater to your sponsor which is [D]instant gratification
I'll [G]sacrifice my [G7]skills in [Cmaj7]order to pay off [Cm]my bills
The [G]algorithm [G7]hates hard work [C]and I don't [D]blame them
The [G]work that takes me [G7]hours, just [Cmaj7]sits until it sours
My [C]self-worth has diminished past all [Cm]possible returning
And I [C]just have to pray that I don't [D]end up crashing and burning
Verse:
[G]If I decide [G7]to take a [Cmaj7]break from social medi[D]media, I'm dead
[G]Because the [G7]industry has [C]kindly put a [D]gun against my head
[G]And so I'll post a [G7]catchy [G6]song and you can sing along
[C]All of my self-confidence comes [D]down to likes and comments, so
Chorus:
[G]I'll sacrifice my [G7]skills in [C]order to pay [Cm]off my bills
The [G]algorithm [G7]hates hard work [C]and I don't [D]blame them
The [G]work that takes me [G7]hours, just [Cmaj7]sits until it sours
You [C]can't afford to take too long when [Cm]you're a sensation
So [C]cater to your sponsor which is [D]instant gratification
My [C]self-worth has diminished past all [Cm]possible returning
And I [C]just have to pray that I don't e[D]end up crashing and burning
Bridge:
[G]And so I'll [G7]write a [Cmaj7]simple song
That's how it [Am]goes, that's how I [G]sell
Can't help but [G7]feel like something's [Cmaj7]wrong
With this [Am]dark hole in which I [G]fell
I'm pretty [G7]trapped within this [Cmaj7]loop
[G7]So wish me well
Chorus:
[G]I'll sacrifice my [G7]skills in [C]order to pay [Cm]off my bills
The [G]algorithm [G7]hates hard work [C]and I don't [D]blame them
The [G]work that takes me [G7]hours, just [Cmaj7]sits until it sours
You [C]can't afford to take too long when [Cm]you're a sensation
So [C]cater to your sponsor which is [D]instant gratification
My [C]self-worth has diminished past all [Cm]possible returning
And I [C]just have to hope that I don't e[D]end up crashing and burning
