[Verse 1]
                 E
Don't send me an email
B             A
I don't wanna hear it
                   E
Don't blame me for things that
B        A
I didn't do
                 E
Don't leave me a note where
B                A
You think I will see it
               E
What makes you think I
B              A
Want something from you


[Chorus]
          E
'Cause if I have to
              B
I'll kill off my better self
              A
I promise you that I will
              E
I promise you that I will
            E
You know if I have to
                 B
I'll kill off my better self
             A                      F#m
Because it's not my job to make you well
            A               E
It's not my job to make you well
     B      F#m    A        E
It's not my job to make you well

[Verse 1]
            E
Some people lash out
B        A
Some people shrink
                  E
I think that it's too soon
   B                   A
To know which you will be
              E
I turn it all inwards
B                          A
They say that's what makes you sad
              E
But I'm not a kid now
B                   A
And you're not from the past


[Chorus]
          E
'Cause if I have to
              B
I'll kill off my better self
              A
I promise you that I will
              E
I promise you that I will
            E
You know if I have to
                 B
I'll kill off my better self
             A                      F#m
Because it's not my job to make you well
            A               E
It's not my job to make you well
     B      F#m    A        E
It's not my job to make you well

[Verse 3]
                 C#m
Don't know why I do it
B                 A
I'm a bird with a broken wing
                    C#m
I need something to care about
B                 A
I need someone to care for me
                 C#m
Do you want some company
B                A
Do you need some comforting
                C#m
And I will take care of you
B               A
But not if it's bad for me


[Chorus]
              E
You know if I have to
                 B
I'll kill off my better self
                    A
'Cause you gotta protect yourself
             E
You gotta protect yourself
              E
You know if I have to
                 B
I'll kill off my better self
             A             E
Because it's not my job to make you well
       F#m           A              E
E|t's--| it's not your job to make me well
     B        F#m    A       E
It's not your job to make me well
   B               F#m
My job to make you well
     A        E        B      F#m
It's not your job it's not my job
   A        E
To make you well
