If you could just stop being phenomenal because you're making the rest of us look TERRIBLE
thank you xo


"i can finally see you're as fucked up as first fret" love the lyrics

Inés Jiménez my favorite comment and part. Thank you for this

ItsRosaaa no at 6:15 that's what Dodie sings

"I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me"*<b>*</b>

"I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me"****

This line speaks to me on such a deep level, and i don't really know why...


This lyric analysis makes me realise how well written this song is...


If you're looking to play this on ukulele, you can use the C and A string, and just subtract one fret from everything in the guitar tutorial. It's in a different key, but it works :) so for example,  the verse would be frets 4, 6, 1, 2 all on the C string.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank u❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank u❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

PastelBable I appreciate that comment so much

Dom Chen no problem! I had no idea so many people would find my comment lol glad I could help :)

A million people have thanked you already but seriously thank you

GOD KNOWS WHERE I WOULD BE IF I HADNT FOUND YOUR COMMENT SITTING ALL ALONE IN THE DARK holy bloody meat thank you

you can play it in the right key using the e and a strings with the same frets but you play the 5 fret on the a string the entire time

Greta Zewe okay no worries! Thanks sooososoosososos much for these tips though x

+Completely Creative no I'm sorry I don't :(

Greta Zewe I don't suppose you know how to play 'when' on the uke?? Xx thanks for this!

+emi everlast you would just play it open

WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE CHORUS WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE 1ST FRET

Greta Zewe you are an amazing person THANK YOU

+Artistoid. bass would be the same as guitar so just follow dodies tutorial

Wooo! I already loved playing this on guitar, and now that I've got a ukulele...thank you!!!


Dodie, what you do with TWO STRINGS breaks my heart then puts it back together, your an amazingly talented lady! Shine On You Crazy Diamond!


BOY does playing this give you major hand cramp, or that just me?<br>Anyway it was really lovely hearing your explanation, and it just increased my appreciation of the lyrics because they don't explain themselves, if that makes sense? Like "super-glued human of proof" doesn't make a lot of sense to anyone else but it does to you and that's so important.

Haha, yeah!

Also, I too really loved that line because it can mean a lot of things and it is different for everyone too.

For me, it's like, you hang on to the person you love like you are mentally superglueing yourself to them, just for proof (that you made the right desicion to stick with this person as much as possible) which you can look back on in the future to reassure yourself.

Uh, I know that was kinda complicated, but nothing is really simple, right?

lol I'm so glad I'm not the only one getting hand cramps...but yeah I love how her songs have a meaning really special to her and really come from her heart.

Izzy Inkpen lol, the hand cramps will pass😆. Bar chords is when they mainly kick in

@Izzy Inkpen i agree totally, i love music that makes you think :)

+liz ;; yes that's very true, but a certain amount of mystery (e.g. twenty one pilots) keeps it interesting I think, as it leaves it open to interpretation

+Izzy Inkpen yes omg I'm sorry about the hand cramp! it's why i never play guitar live cause I suck<br>and ahhh thank you! Yeah I love it when people explain personal lyrics!

+Izzy Inkpen yes omg I'm sorry about the hand cramp! it's why i never play guitar live cause I suck
and ahhh thank you! Yeah I love it when people explain personal lyrics!

+Izzy Inkpen i feel like if you /do/ understand what she means with the lyrics thats even more fascinating, since it means you can probs relate to it

+Izzy Inkpen Agree, i always love that in a song. When you hear a phrase you don't totally get, but knowing it has some sort of meaning to the writer makes it special.


EVERYONE CONFUSED BY THE STRUMMING/PLUCKING PATTERNS: a really good friend of mine actually knows how to play SOLS, so i asked her to explain it. here's what she said:

(btw, what she refers to as the 6th string is what dodie refers to as the 1st, and the 4th = 3rd)

you hit the 6th string once, then the 4th, then the 6th again, but then when you go back to the 4th string, you hit it twice. (this would make that 13-133) and you slide you finger on the 6th string from the fifth fret, then to the seventh, then to second and third. that's through the verses. then, at the pre-chorus (the 'what the hell would i be --), you just hit the 6th string and the 4th string for two turns (13-13) before sliding from the seventh fret to fifth, then to ninth, and you repeat that sequence twice. then for the chorus, it goes the same as the verses except, after the seventh fret, you slide to the sixth and then to first and back to fifth.

i know, my girl's a gift. i havent tried this yet, but i have no reason to believe it's wrong 😂i  hope this helps some of you!

although you could just skip out on the double 3rd string and just do 1st, 3rd, 1st, 3rd

think an easier way to explain it is just by saying that every 5th, 7th, 3rd etc has to start and end with plucking the 3rd chord

Thank you so so much, I couldn't figure it out xx

Mandi thank you so much😂. I acc needed this😆❤

this is also really helpful. the many words made me overwhelmed without even reading them, so I read this then the long when as conformation. Thanks you both!!

okay so what i gathered was from dodies explaination is:<br>firts string, third string, first, third, third and then move frets, same strumming. then you do just two of each so first, first, third, third, and then you move frets.

Mandi I get the verses strumming but u kinda confused me on the pre-chores strumming, can u please explain that part to me ?


I love knowing the stories behind songs and much love to u dodie <3

Was going to like but I didn't want to ruin the perfect 100 likes so virtual thumbs up here 👍


I can't stop replaying the first part 😂

"B to the O to the U to the N to the C to the E
WAIT, I CAN'T DANCE!"
"We'll show you how to bounce!"

ilysm dodes.


The song actually makes me think of my older brother and how much we grow apart and back together but he is always there for me when I am definitely a broken teen. He's been through so much and us growing up has definitely made me realise that he is deeper than I can ever know, and that we all have cracks that run deeper than anyone else can understand. He's my rock and this just makes me cry thinking of him and how lovely he is. He's a good egg.

Phoebe Lawrence Oh God you guys are lovely. I hope you're always there for each other ❤❤

+Scarahlicious I'm eleven and my brother's 20. we used to be close but then he realised the age gap and drifted away. it's sad.

+Joanna Destiny same tho but i think for me its also cause of age gaps


I can't believe there are no recent comments on this video. dodie is timeless and this song means so much


i havent touched a guitar in my life and this makes me feel like i can already play it <br>GET ME MAH GUITAR SOMEBODY

i havent touched a guitar in my life and this makes me feel like i can already play it
GET ME MAH GUITAR SOMEBODY

Literally just started guitar yesterday and I can already sorta play this

amanda oh also i think there was a comment somewhere abt the strumming pattern

amanda download an app called guitar tuna it's really easy to tune with

I tried doing it today <br>It went 10 times slower bc of the strumming pattern omg is so hard

I tried doing it today
It went 10 times slower bc of the strumming pattern omg is so hard

it's actually pretty hard when you first learn it especially the fast part, but then after a few tries it gets super easy. but then again, i don't do much finger picking so it'd probs be easier for someone with more experience

@Heather no, i was actually just frustrated with the strumming pattern lol

+Mandi im not sure if youre being sarcastic or not help i cannot social

same!! except i tried but got frustrated because my guitar is SUPER out of tune and the strumming pattern was too difficult for me to catch on to 😂😂


Dodie, you probably don't remember me. But a long while ago, I was in a very dark place, and you called me and you helped me. And I feel so proud of you for everything this song stands for and everything it means to you and being able to talk about your experiences means so much to every one else. I'm a lot better than I used to be and I'm so grateful to you among huge groups of others who came together for me at that time and I can't thank you all enough. I hope you're okay lovely. xx


B is for Bouncing
O is for Opportunity
U is for Unity and

C is for Community and

Those are not lyrics on one of their songs, is it?! 😂


I'm so happy we got a little explanation of the lyrics! I was so curious and holy damn can I relate to being so so fed up with losing people close to you. I'm such a clingy friend, I borderline refuse to let people go and it's pretty fucking sad actually. I once kept sending someone birthday and christmas cards and presents for three years with nothing in return when they used to be one of my BEST friends until I finally gave up. :(<br>Also wow do I want to cover this but I no longer own a guitar </3 maybe I'll contemplate doing it karaoke style because my heart just loves this song so much.

can you imaging telling 16 year old dodie that in 4 years she'd be catsitting for charlie mcdonnell


Thanks for sharing this Dodie, I really appreciate when you do this kind of things, explain the lyrics, what? nobody does that, nobody cares, but you do and that inspires me so much, I'm here, attempting to be musician too, and being able to know your creative process of this song means a lot to me. Thanks Dodie, and I don't mean this in the "I love you Dodie I'm your number one fan" way, just in the "I really appreciate your work and your time for doing this" way.


thank you so much for making this song. I'm in a situation in my life where I really needed these words. Thank you💜


That picture during the instrumental is beautiful.


You should make tutorials more often because you make it much easier and I love your songs so much


Sometimes I just listen to the karaoke...over and over...and then I go and play the song on my guitar. LOOOVE IT SO MUCH ;-;


This made it sooo much more easy to learn , whenever I searched for this song on guitar apps it would give really weird chords but this made it so simple to play ❤ so annoying that I only just found this video😂😂👍🏼love you xx


THIS IS ME RIGHT NOW. Losing friends whom were MY BEST FRIENDS

Me too... I don’t have any friends anymore and now I’m all alone.

+Peyton Rose geez i feel you! I started off the year with 5 best friends and now i just have one, and they rest prove to not be such best friends. Hang in there stranger!!!! <3 <3 <3


omg finally a tutorial I can understand without all the complicated words I don't understand


wow i love this electronic-y version it's kinda like all deeep v nice (kinda reminds me of Daughter's sound???)


It's my birthday today and I got a guitar and this is the first song I'm learning! So far I'm good! I love you and your music Dodie x


The final part is so relaxing though, I love this music so much


Watching your channel just makes me feel like I'm hanging out with a good friend. :) Thanks for making videos dodie.


Oh my goodness, you are incredible: just the humour and the editing and the lyric explanation and the guitar tutorial. Just exceptional :D


Wow love this song, it's so rare of songwriters to explain their songs, it's a very brave thing to do especially when it's something so personal :)


I just picked this up on acoustic it’s beautiful 💙🌈✨


I love how she gave us a karaoke version herself. Absolutely the best 🌸


Yay! I loved having this explanation to help me learn rather than just a tabs site. <br>I loved covering it, too! Such a beautiful song, dodie.

I loved covering it, too! Such a beautiful song, dodie.


Just to say, I actually woke up with this song in my head the other day...and I sure wasn't mad.  It really resonates with me and with many others, I can imagine.  Its cool how people can interpret songs in different ways and completely relate it to a part of their own life! WD x


Loved your song so much. Thank you for singing this one & please keep them coming :)


I love this dodie I love the explanation of the lyrics, it gives the song so much more meaning


Thanks for the lovely tutorial! This morning I was actually in the process of learning it by ear (and failing somewhat miserably haha) but this is a lot better! <3


I always find it interesting to find the meaning and explanation behind songs that people write <3 absolutely love this song, definitely going to learn it :)


God, THIS SONG!!!!! Thank you so much for writing it Dodie its so beautiful! I can relate to it in so many ways, I was completely bawling the first time I heard it...


actually in love with your music Dodie. you are a huge role model in my life. You're music is just so real and the way you live your life is so encouraging


I love these videos! Thank you Dodie for opening up to us with the explanation and a tutorial and the instrumental :) must have taken a lot of work


I love the song so much, now that I know a little more about the back story. I spent like two years in an emotionally abusive relationship.
I lost all of my childhood friends because of this relationship. I'm still trying to make new friends, but so far I'm still pretty alone. I'm kind of scared of people bc my ex used to tell me over and over how everyone I knew just wanted to use me for their own amusement and I believed him.
It's been more than a year since I broke up with him, and I'm still picking up the pieces of my self esteem.


Really love when artists go into depth about what a song's about, super interesting! wish you and your friend the very best xx


when i heard the song i wasn't sure of the meaning behind it but my interpretation is similar to how you explained it here!! thank you for writing such beautiful, honest and relatable songs <3


Aw. This made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I loved hearing the explanation of the lyrics, and of course just seeing you on my screen brightens up my day.

Also. Dodie, you should do a clothing haul of just about everything you own because it's all perfect and my style goals. :)


Actually in love with you Dodes. You just are sooo...such a.....just...like...a beautiful soul. I can't express. I love this, I love your story and I love youuu!! xx

+Jess Lu And you make me laugh so much. I'm being all gushy now. I'mma stop.


You are amazing. You always stay happy and persistent when things try to bring you down ❤ you are so inspirational 😍💕


I LOVE THIS SONG! thank you for sharing all of this


This was super interesting and great. Love you dodie 💕


She was my first song on guitar and this will be my second. I love your stuff Dodie.


Thank you so much for this, I was wondering a bit about the lyrics of this, in most of your other songs, the lyrics are easier to understand, I really loved the lyrics of this you've developed so much it's so great


I think this is a reason to actually pick up my guitar and tune it


this is one of those songs where i think about every time i've played pretty much this exact guitar part, especially of the verse, when warming up and never made anything out of it, and this is it!! it sounds so good!! i love your music dodie


I love this song so much, I got a completely different meaning to the song when I first heard it, and it was so cool to see how different people intended it or interpreted it. I was thinking of how I slipped away from one of my best friends, who I practically lived with for around seven years, until we went down different paths and she refused to talk to me. I saw this beginning to happen with one of my other friends, so I met up with her and cried for a good amount of time. We are now as close as ever. <333333


Oh god you saved my life. This is my new favourite song ever and I wanted to try to play it with the guitar so THANK YOU! <br>All the love x

Oh god you saved my life. This is my new favourite song ever and I wanted to try to play it with the guitar so THANK YOU!
All the love x


This is actually a really good tutorial how it's still fun so we remember it and follow along easier!!


I love this song so much! It makes me think of my relationship with my best friend. She is 2 years older than me and is going to uni in September 2016 and I've been really worried of loosing her when she leaves so I feel this song on so many levels <3


Thank you so much for doing this, so excited that you've done this, it is so brave for explaining it and I am so glad i will finally be able to play this (hopefully), Xx


now with knowing what the song is about, I love it even more :) I also love how you play the electric guitar. I hope we will be able to listen to more of this by you in the future. :)
1,5 years ago I also ended a manipulative relationship which made me unhappy for a little over 1 year without me really realising it. It was a great relief after I was free again and became happy again. But the last wound healed just a few months ago after a good conversation with a friend. It let me realize what I had pushed out of my mind, but was never able to forget, because it always haunted me from the back of my mind. The friend got me to 'digest' the bad relationship completely so that I now can carry on
I wish that everyone has a friend who can do such things every once in a while. Sometimes I think that we don't value the conversations with our friends high enough


Dear Dodie,

I have had a tough time recently and been very sad. You're videos help me so much and I love your music. It has so much more meaning than other songs! 💖


the instrumental part never fails to make me cry, i love it so much <33


I learned how to play this on the guitar!! I love this song so much!!


I love this! So glad she did this, it was entertaining to watch and also very helpful! I'm in a similar situation with an ex whose new gf is upset that we're friends, but I don't want to lose him as a friend


This song is incredible and I'm so in love with it and the meaning behind it wow dodie


Dodie, you and your music are just simply beautiful. Thanks! X


Thanks to you, Dodie, I had the confidence to cover this song as my first video on here and upload it. I'm so excited to have finally started my YouTube journey (that sounds really cringey but I'm gonna go with it) so thank you so much <3

Hey there! I love all your stuff and I am just obsessed with this song. I really want to learn it on the uke (haven't figured out the guitar yet) but not really sure how I'd go about that? Would you happen to have any suggestions?<br>You are one of my biggest inspirations for playing the ukulele by the way, <3

I'd love a full electric version of this, kind of reminds me of Daughter


aah I love this song so much its been on repeat a couple of times. Thanks for explaining it :) Shame I don't play guitar. But I love singing along! xx


I love this song! I´m singing it all the time ! Please tell me in which order you play the 6th, 5th and 4th string, I can´t get the melody quiet well yet.
Thanks for your writing and your voice/music
Greetings from Argentina


i feel as if i'm losing one of my best friends who has been through hell and back with my lately and this song is just so perfect for the scenario and everything i've literally put it on repeat love you dodie x


dodie you are such an amazing person and this song got me tearing up and it is SO beautiful.... thank you for being so wonderful... ily :)


How the hell do you write such amazing songs! you are seriously super talented!x


This has to be one of my favourite songs of yours :3 If I still had my guitar (it's currently living in my parents closet because I don't have space for it :( ) I would try to learn it and now I'm so sad I can't .-.


I can relate to your meaning so much! <br>All of the people I feel really close to always leave me, and it isn't their fault either. I love the song so much. <3

Love this so much :D I love learning what lyrics actually mean :D


you're one of the best youtube-people that i know! keep making music and dont be sad too often! i adore you!


Dodie! Are you a self taught song-writer? Or did you take lessons or do you just listen to a lot of music for inspiration? I need to know. I wrote a song and a chord progression for it and I wanna write another but I'm quite bad at thinking of ideas. If you have any advice it would be much appreciated! 💗


such a beautiful song, beautiful lyrics, beautiful chords, beautiful voice, and most of all, beautiful human!!!!


You're beautiful, funny, and amazing. I love watching your videos Dodie <3


:0 This sing actually sounds waaaaaay more complicated than it actually is.. :) I think I watched this solely because I love watching Dodie :D and how she explains stuff on guitar :'D ..  Sooooo much funnn :D  ...

Also the song song hit me deep , I feet the exact same way Dodie Explained it, Like seriously life is not cool sometimes.. I just found a "soulmate" and then I was moved to another country :( we still keep up , but everyday I wonder how long can we keep it going.. and I don't know what to do. It's like throw away this opportunity I've got and go home. or throw her away... it literally eats me up inside. :/


Doddie, I also call those extremely close friends as soul mates. Because they can't be just friends. Like the word is not enough to contain what we had experienced together. But of course the usual understanding is romantic. I was so glad to know someone else uses this term and truly understands it platonically other than me. You are lovely


Dodie you are absolutely positively amazing and I want you to know that I will always watch your videos and if I lived near you, I would be your best friend. 😊


I love this song sooo much! I totally get it, I've had a boyfriend before and we've ended up staying friends because loosing them even as a friend is too hard. I've lost so many friends too lately, but I'm starting to get happy again with my new friends, and this song is definitely helping! Love you and your videos! Thank you so much!


It sounds so nice and it's so fun to play and this song in general actually means a lot to me and aaaa thank u dodie


omg you made this so easy to learn I've literally just picked up my guitar for the first ever time with no knowledge of chords or anything, and can do the song perfectly within an hour.


This is a beautiful song Dodie and I hope you do more x


Love this dodie you never stop amazing me <3


Thanks for the explanation Dodie! You didn't have to give it to us, but it's nice that you did-thanks for being so open<br>I loooove it on electric by the way, and will probably play the latter part of this video before I go to sleep

Thanks for the explanation Dodie! You didn't have to give it to us, but it's nice that you did-thanks for being so open
I loooove it on electric by the way, and will probably play the latter part of this video before I go to sleep


That start Dodie, wow. Nice video as always <3


now that you've explained the song, it makes so much more sense!! and I relate to it so much, I'm crap at keeping friends and I've just lost a 'soul mate' and now I will listen to the song all the time and cry


Every time you have a new song I know that it is the best song I'll ever hear, but somehow you always top it?!?? Seriously, you're an amazing singer/songwriter. You inspire me to the moon and back.


This is much easier to play on the last 3 strings, but it's super impressive that you can play it on two! Xoxo


I've seen only seen a couple of your videos over the past few days although I've been subscribed to you for years and you genuinely seem like the sweetest person


wohoo!! i can play this song! Thanks so much Dodie for this beautiful song and perfect tutorial.


I cannot play guitar to save my life,  but I picked this up one day and now I can actually (sort of) play it! your instructions were very simple and easy to follow, thanks dodie!


Haha aw super cute. Love this song so much, thanks for the tutorial!! I can't wait to play it! This is awesome


I got my guitar today! I am now playing this song forever! (I got the first part down really well, but that chorus is tricky with all its slide around haha)


This is very cute! I love your voice haha! Not only singing but just talking it's very soothing!


I tried learning guitar for the second time yesterday (as in my second day practicing),and i broke a string. This makes me so happy! It only takes 2 strings so I can actually keep playing!


I love this guitar for the song but then again I really adore the other one!!


lots of stuff been on my mind lately. this (the electric instrumental) lets me think calmly, without panicking or crying again. thanks, dods. 👍


My godh. The more I get to know you (through youtube) the more I love you Dodie. You're really inspiring.


This song describes the exact situation I'm in soooo well (the same one you are). I love you so much for this.


Hey Dodie never really commented on one of your videos before but i think your an amazing songwriter and 'One for the road' I love.<br>Can't wait to hear more <3  ^_^ xx

Hey Dodie never really commented on one of your videos before but i think your an amazing songwriter and 'One for the road' I love.
Can't wait to hear more <3  ^_^ xx


this song gives me shivers, especially with the lil clash bit when it goes from the 7th fret to the 6th then to the 1st omg omg omg


That intro.... laughed my ass off.... also, that promo... loving it! That's okay, I'll show you how to bounce!


i had no idea this song had so much meaning behind it! thankyou so much for the tutorial :)x


I remember sitting here watching this video thinking I want this to be the first song I learn to play on the guitar and I’m happy to say I made my wish come true and now I can play this on the guitar and now I’m excited to learn more songs


This song makes me cry. I think it's in a good way though, I find crying relatively therapeutic and cleansing in a way. It reminds me of previous relationships I've had; I think I need to get that hurt out of my system and really appreciate the ones I have now. Thank you for allowing the song to wash over me. It's so beautiful, just like you <3


I love this song so much. it makes me think of how everytime I think I've found the one or atleast someone I can trust, they leave me. my ex boyfriend was extremely mentally and emotionally abusive, it as you said, manipulative and he left me with an empty soul. all of my friends  were his friends and when he left so did they. im terrified to let people in, to lose my soul mates but yet I still do it because it's so beautiful and bittersweet. all of your songs comfort me and keep me going ^~^


man i wish i could sing so i could sing this <3 so much love for this song dodie :-)


Can you do more of these types of things where you teach how to play the song and kinda explain your song? (Obviously only share if you're comfortable or want to)


please do tutorials on your other original songs theyre so good!


Thank you! I am going to go and learn this now! x


i dont even care if i know nothing about music, listening/watching you play the guitar and be passionated about something is beautiful!


Now that I know what it's actually about, I'm legit about to cry. The song has a whole new meaning to me, and it reflects so much of a situation I've been in for a while.


This was the first song i learnt on the guitar and it inspired me and helps me today so thank you so much


OH MY GOD BOUNCE! I didn't know anyone else knew about that song! Dodie you're my Demi soulmate, spend the rest of your life with me!


If you ever see this, I really hope you make an instrumental with this song, I LOVE the guitars melody


This song is even more relatable than I even began to imagine.
I'm sorry, because I know how hard it is to feel better after all that.
Thank you for such an amazing song, Dodie!


So now you've released the explanation of the song it turns out it's exactly what I expected it to be about and also exactly what I am also going through... you've captured the feeling beautifully Dodie and its both even more beautiful and even more painful to listen to now that I know for sure what it's about. I hope everything works out okay for you and that you keep your friend, and when things get difficult that you find a way to keep your head up high because you're a beautiful person and you deserve to be happy. Much love xx


I saw the song in a completely different way, I saw it as someone who had lost so many people in the past that they have now found someone who they want to hold on to because they are scared of losing any more people.


I really really like how you listen to your subscribers! the most down to earth (and my favourite) youtuber/person by far X


Me after listening to one for the road for the first time; Oh, I love this song it is beautiful and catchy and empowering! sings along

Me after listening to if again now, knowing what it's about; Goosebumps and chills Oh Doodie you sweet wonderful human being, I am so glad you got out of that relationship! (Still loves song and thinks it's catchy and empowering)

hearing you sing the frets makes me so happy 😄😊💙


Omg I love you so much and I remember that bounce thing. This song is really amazing and the lyrics are great💕

'recently come out'<br>GIVIN ME A HEART ATTACK

'recently come out'
GIVIN ME A HEART ATTACK

+Laura Ferreira oh nvm, just realised that i already knew

+Laura Ferreira WHEN!?? woa cant believe i missed out


How do you do that with 2 strings only?! you are super amazing. <3


Omg Dodie! I've had similar situation with being in a controlling relationship "emotional abusive" if you like.. And being left to pick up the pieces. Left the relationship a couple months ago and immediately knew I'd made the right decision... Anyway beautiful song and thank you for sharing! Lots of love x


When you were explaining your whole situation, it sounded almost exactly like mine. I was in an abusive/manipulative relationship for about 2 years, and now I have a best friend who I dated before but we're still really great friends and I don't want to lose her. It's kinda weird how your situation is almost exactly like mine and now I'm gonna want to listen to this song all the time because it actually relates to my life. Thank you for writing this song and explaining it :)


This song is so beautiful and sad at the same time😭😭😭😭Okay,  I'm gonna learn how to play this on the guitar and cover it! Wait for me dodi😘❤


I wish I could cover this but alas my singing is pretty rubbish, only my shower gets to hear it! You are wonderful Dodie xx


CAN YOU DO EVERYONE A FAVOUR AND MAKE AN EP OR AN ALBUM OR SOMETHING

PLEASE
PLEASE.

THANK YOU
(i love you)


this is beautiful... it reminds me a lot of daughter with the soft electric guitar. would you ever record the song again with the electric guitar? i think it gives the song a kind of different feeling.


Believe it or not, I had no idea how to hold a guitar beforehand and in 20 minutes I managed to learn the whole song and lyrics. Great job, Dodie!


Love your song. And love "One for the road".<3  It's all really amazing and no one needs to know who you're talking about !


i had the exact situation happen to me and this song is too real


How nice would it be if all music artists gave some nice little song explanations like this for their songs often? Or at least the more popular ones. Thank you for this, dodie.


I'd really love to learn this on the ukulele, but since I can't play the guitar I can't work out the chords from this. This is such an amazing song and I would kill to have your voice, but since I can't I'll settle for badly replicating it. I'm also really happy you explained it because I was slightly confused, and it's nice when songs suddenly makes sense.


I've just gone through a similar experience. My ex was controlling and isolated me from all my friends. Was with her for 4 years. Never felt so alone. But can only see it clearly now that I'm out of it. Thankfully ny friends have all welcomed me back. I love this song. Been playing it all day because the girl i was newly vibing with just ubruptly ended things with me because she wasn't developing feelings for me. Which felt like a punch in the chest. But this song has really helped me. And it helps to hear that other people have gone through similar experiences. I'm so happy that I stumbled upon your channel. Keep it up. X


I really wanted to play this when I run for Miss Englewood pageant (my school). I think it's a very beautiful song.


ahhhh trying to play this cramps my hand up so badly but it's worth it

lil late but just play it on the g and a string instead of only the g string. like that you dont have to move your left hand as much


Hi Dodie! I hope you're doing well! I know you probably won't read this and I'm sure you've gotten a bunch of similar comments but you have truly influenced and changed a life. I've struggled with bipolar depression for the last 4 years and when you're in such a slump you learn to appreciate small things. This channel's videos helped me bunches! I even picked up the guitar and self taught myself because of you! Music has helped me get through little rough patches and that choosing music as something to aide my depression was inspired by you. Not only are you  talented, but you're also genuine which is difficult to find among youtubers. Never lose that quality! Thank you for being the amazing human being you are, I hope you are doing lovely!


Hey ^^, I really want to play this on the piano, but I couldn’t seem to find the chords anywhere, does anyone know them? This song is so amazing and I’m IN LOVE with your cover of Goner :) Love from Sweden <3


I'm using this song for my theatre scene in class💞


Came to your channel through Jamie's (many mentions, who is this Dodie creature of great renown?) and went straight to the music video for Sick of Losing Soulmates. I knew what you meant, inside. Hurts like a shotgun wound that's been hollowed out with an ice cream scoop, I'm not up for another dose again any time ever, full stop. It's a beautiful song, reminds me of I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons, don't know why (baby guitarist, old hand primary band flautist... ie theoretically, musically inept - I can count the chords I know on both hands). But yeah, it was gorgeous, especially with the video. And I love this video... explanations, and tutorials and karaoke? You are, demonstrably, the best. Thanks for being.


Dodie: I don’t know what that was<br>Me: It was adorable, that’s what that was

Dodie: I don’t know what that was
Me: It was adorable, that’s what that was


I don't know what it is about this song, Dodie. It just gets me every single time I listen to it, and believe me have listened to it so many times now i've lost count. It is definitely my favorite piece of work you have ever done and I'm so proud of you for it.


This songmeans so much more to me now! Thanks for this!!!


I've been obsessed with this song since you uploaded it, and I almost shrieked when I saw this!


Ahhh you should do awkward duet pretty please ^__^ this song....I love love love the clash at the "fucked up" and I just love the whole two string thing. Simple and nice.


YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I WAS TO SEE THIS BECAUSE ITS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG OMG


I'm so covering this because 1) #relatable and 2) It's a GEM of a song!


Gaaah. Perfect. Also I love the first photo in the instrumental part :')


This song hits so hard<br>One of my partners asked for space and all I want is to hear from him and hear his voice and hang out and have fun again

Everything about this video is great! :)


Wait! I know who it is, damn. I thought he was better than that, hm anyway, I hope you know that you deserve better than him Dodie, we all love you a lot. Thank you for this x

@Maisy Hunter It's Sammy! BUt, dang I wish it was Jon

Ismay Rose who is the person that helped her then dated ? I'm not up to date on gossip

@Lili Without the Y  Hahahah samee. Team Joddie

@Giuliana Guerrero Pretty sure it's Sammy actually. Sad face. I like both but, I mean JODDIE!

Wait, a spell. Is it flipping Jon Cozart?!!?!

This would sound sick on bass :) and then some keys   over that :0  .. it's all you need to cry ..

Omg you replied to me ah!! I know the point of the song and it's not about him but haha I was just having a realisation moment :")

+doddlevloggle thank you for the video on the explanation i got the meaning of the song and had the exact same situation that you did, i would love to try this out on a bass guitar

I think you're missing the point of the song! I don't know! :")


i love the song sm also i just lost my bestfriend so it adds to the emotions


Thank you for electric! Now I have a song to practice when I get my electric for Christmas


pretty amazing voice, funny and beautiful too!? Approved!😊 Awesome Song


this is exactly how i feel omg you're great


you are such a wonderful person. You're just beautiful on the inside and outside.


I actually sang "7th 5th 9th 2nd 3rd" for practice and I think it sounds beautiful. I might just leave it like that!


Is it weird That I like your 2nd channel more then your 1st? Anyways it's a really great song and I love that you showed us how to play it! It really helps! You can make more of those :P


when I saw this I related to it really hard, and then I saw all your other videos and how youve grown since that abusive relationship and it inspired me to be like that, so I finally got out! I'm so much happier now. I mean its hard af but im just so grateful to people who are honest about the hard things


5:47 You should make a song where the  lyrics are the instructions on how to play it. Much creative.


This song is beautiful and i was so happy when i saw this video! x


this is this my favorite song by you dodie its beautiful


Knowing what you originally meant the song to be about, it resonates with me so much more. I have also lost all of my best friends in the past, and I have come close to losing the guy I'm closest with now. It's such a horrible feeling. This song means so much to me.


Can you make the karaoke version downloadable on patreon?

+doddlevloggle will it be on patreon soon?

Please explain how I download on patron I can't work it out


Okay, let's just say I thought this song was about romance, but I was interpreting it as not wanting to loose your friends because of personal experiences.

Let's just say that my mind exploded when you said it was basically about that.


The photos at the instrumental part made my day, thanks dodie!


This song absolutely shatters my soul its so beautiful.


the song hit me like a bus the explanation you gave wasn't how I saw it but now I think about it that's how I view it and it became so supper relatable<br>thanks doddie for the song it's amazing

thanks doddie for the song it's amazing


I love this song so much but I didn't have the guitar fret dots so I just put them on the side with washi tape! 😂


I have been in a manipulative relationship and he took me away from my friends , I'm still trying to patch up what I've lost and I'm terrified of ever being in a relationship again. And I lovelovelovelovelove this song you are perfection


that backing track is just so nice to listen to on its own


I took it as best friends, I've lost many best friends and it hurts me because I always felt like I wasn't capable of having a strong friendship but yes Dodie I'm done too, it's ok! This song was very relatable and helpful


I just discovered this song and it made me cry thinking about my friend who helped me through a lot of mental health stuff and who I eventually dated for a while, we're not together anymore and don't really talk, we've both found people who are much better for us in terms of a partner, but the song just reminded me of how I thought we would always be together and now looking back it seems so silly and childish because we were so young, yet everything they helped me through in my life, I'll always be grateful for that and a part of my heart will always have love for them


Singing this to my best friend for Christmas... <3


know this seems strange coming from a stranger but when I watch your videos I feel slightly less alone.


I just love you so freaking much. Goodluck with everything, your songs are so beautiful


This really makes me want to learn to play guitar


Who else replayed the first 7 seconds like... 10 times? Lol

Hadassah Rivera me!!!! It's so adorable, funny, and quirky


I love how it sounds a bit like the theme to "The Last Of Us" if the 4th string is played instead of the 6th string :D


I'm so glad I have an acoustic :) I can finally use it again to learn this! Muchos thank yous


Just as someone that knows a lot about abuse, what you have described IS abuse, and I urge anyone else that is experiencing the same to go and get help you're not alone<3<br>If you are over 16 and live in the uk you can contact womans aid (i know it's not gender specific but this is the charity that helped me) for free counselling and support.

I really like this song! What's the tape on the guitar for?


"i can finally see you're as fucked up as FIRST FRET"


i relate to these lyrics on a higher level now i was in the same exact place the two years, abusive and manipulative  and the friends part too


oh my gosh dodie, you are so great. i fell in love with you so much! :3


Dodie's face when she strums the electric guitar I just


I DONT PLAY ANY INTRUMENTS WHY AM I TRYING TO LEARN THIS

@everysamthing it's 10 months after you commented and I'm learning it today. What's up

It's three three years later and I'm learning it Today what's up

I STARTED PLAYING THE GUITAR 4 DAYS AGO AND I LEARNED THIS


You’re too perfect! Although it is a bit harder to pick this without my right fingers haha


I know this is far too relevant to the eighth line, but it really is quite comforting to know that you went through an almost identical relationship and how much better you've been without him, thankyou 😊


thank you so much I love this song so so so much <333


Great tutorial great song great everything gawsh you're such a sweetheart :D


I loved it! 😁💖 What is she saying the name of the song is though? 😂

omg1!1!1 youtube celebrity doddleoddle replied to my comment1!1!1


I love the pictures she chose for the instrumental


Dodie NEEDS to make more videos like this


I feel like this would be really cool to play on bass, and I haven't been doing that recently n bass makes me really happy so I'm gonna try it!


Please do a cover of half the world away ILYSM!!!!!


this is such a great song considering how simple the tune is 💙💙💙 (he says, still not able to figure out the pattern that your meant to pick the strings in)


You should do covers on an electric guitar!😊


intresting story real quick: So i actually have a really beat up acoustic that only has the strings played left (i was rough on it and never got around to getting it fixed) and im supposed to get a new guitar for Christmas. Literally when i saw that i had the right strings to play it i cried because i had never been able to play an actual song on my personal one and not the ones i 'play' at school. So this was actually the first song I learned to play on guitar, which is a huge deal especially seeing that this song means so much to me.


That beginning though...you're are so adorkable Dodie


I LOVE THAT OF ALL THINGS YOU SUNG BOUNCE


i like how weirdly dodie can play a guitar and it sounds amazing, but when i try it sounds like im banging on a rubber band lol


what was the tone and stuff you used on the guitar?? I really wanna know cause it sounds awesome :3


"I've recently come out- STOP IT!" Me DODIE WAIT AM I MISSING SOMETHING OR?!?! "I've recently come out of a bad-" OH. OK. NEVER MIND.

i said exactly what she said in her sexuality video but that is true as well

I know. I was watching at like 3 AM so my brain wasn't functioning.

Yeah, she's bi but she thinks that she will end up with a male, she made a video about it a couple years ago


I've never played guitar in my entire life even though I own one, yet I learned this song in one afternoon when I should have done my homework instead


The line "superglued human of proof" and dodie's explanation really reminds me of Sylvia Plath's poem 'Daddy'. Plath talks about how she was "stuck together with glue" after she tried to die at a young age, and the way they put her back together did not last; that line has stuck with me (pun intended), as has dodie's "superglued human".


I have been in a relationship like this which lasted 9 months. I lost some of my best friends, which sucks, but it also helped me become closer to others, so i guess theyre pros and cons of everything.


I don't know if it's just me but with the electric guitar, certain parts sound like the noise the phone makes when someone hangs up on you and i just really like that


Hearing it on electric guitar has kind of a blink 182- Adams song vibe

it <i>does!</i> I couldn't figure out what the sound reminded me of

it _does!_ I couldn't figure out what the sound reminded me of


to be honest... your intended meaning was exactly what it said to me. ive been there, losing best friends. all too much for being only 17, i think! the song is still wonderful, but now i can play it :) thanks dodie!


I can sort of relate to this, in a friendship sense. I had a friend, who expected me to do whatever she wanted and she could be friends with whoever she wanted, but I wasn't allowed other friends. I was young, very scared and I didn't want to anger her so I did exactly what she said. I finally got out of that and I got close to someone else. I thought she was helping me trust people again, but no. After a few months the same thing happened again. And then I got close to my current friend! She's helped me, and I'd like to think I've done the same to her. I'm so much happier, but I'm so scared to loose her. This is so pathetic 😂😂😂


Can u do a tutorial on your original song down??!?!?!?

+Elizabeth Qauc you mean a ukulele? :) that other thing

+Doddlevloggle +Doddleoddle YES YES YES!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

For most of the video you can see her hand which is playing the chords I mean that's how I worked it out.<br>I think the plucking pattern is just C string then E and A string together twice in a 1-2-3-1-2-3 rhythm.

I think the plucking pattern is just C string then E and A string together twice in a 1-2-3-1-2-3 rhythm.

its actually on a few tab sites :00 just look it up and you'll find it, the picking is just the third string, then the first and second string together

@Elizabeth Qauc You might be able to just play those chords on the piano!  A Gaug chord is just G, B, D#  and then the weird chord would be G, C#, B.

+Kayla Austin Oh yea is there a piano version? I don't know how to play guitar or the other thing

+Elizabeth Qauc The chords are basically
intro: G, Gaug
verse/chorus: G, Em, Gaug, G (except the top string is on the first fret, C# idk what to call it), C, Cm, G

the bridge and chorus are essentially those chords... I hope that helped <3
if not you can kind of see the chords she is playing in that video!


You playing an electric guitar is the best thing I've seen all week


If you recorded another version of you singing with the electric instead of the acoustic, I would love to hear it!


Planning to steal my brother's guitar tomorrow to learn this. I don't care how hard it will be (I've never played guitar before) because this is so lovely :)


When you said "abusive relationship" and "manipulative" I was like:<br>"Imma find him and slap him"

When you said "abusive relationship" and "manipulative" I was like:
"Imma find him and slap him"


U are SO talented I am in awe oh my goodness


I'm in love with the photos during the karaoke! 😂


how do you deal with going through with playing the song at concerts afterwards or even finishing it when you are done with the emotions you are singing about dodie??


You would think after all this time you might of discovered the mute button on the side of your iPhone Dodie ;)

BUT WHAT IF SHES TRYING TO MAKE AN APPLE SYMPHONY


This song has helped me a lot bc I relate to some of the lyrics except in a different way I've lost a lot of my best friends lately cause all of them but my girlfriend have back stabbed me or been using me or treated me really bad or lied to me and she's the only person I have left and I don't want to lose her


i cried a lil during the explanation tbh, it breaks my heart to know that some awful person put you through an abusive relationship


You're so amazing and beautiful ahh I seriously love everything about you!!!!


I just sat through the karaoke for a couple of bars mesmerised before realising that I had missed my queue to start singing. Whoops


oh im happy that the way i interpreted "superglued human of proof" was the way you intended it to be. the song so reminds me of a such person in my life.


oh my god!! I just found this channel!!! I . LOVE . IT !!!!


Me and my friend from the other side of the world are writing a soulmate au story and one of the characters has had every soulmate he's ever had die and that's what this song made me think of <3


Just realising how much I relate to this song :')


ONE YEAR LATER U CAME UP WITH A MUSIC VIDEO AHHHHH

June Haverly LOVE YOUR NAME. TROYE IS MA LIFEEE


this is the first time i saw dodie with an electric and she's still absolutely adorable


God this song is what I’m going through right now 😞 I’m sick of having no friends


I love the way, you're explaning how to play the guitar :D


"id recently come out--"
O H
"id recently come out of a very bad relationship"
o h


Can you please redo this on the electric?? It sounded lovely on acoustic.


you never lose friends. you just realize who your true ones are. ❤


5, 7, 2, 3 frets for verse. 7, 5, 9, 2, 3 frets chorus. 2, 3, 5, 7, 6, 1, 5 chorus/bridge ? (I think that's how it goes)

MUCH THANKS TO YOU FOR THIS BECAUSE YES JUST THANKS

+Shazarna Harvey Theres also a great Ultimate Guitar tab that shows you the exact strumming n' stuff

+Shazarna Harvey MARK and thank you so much!

Thank you thank you thank you!! I learned the song wayyyy easier

THANK YOU YOU BEAUTIFUL PERSON GOD BLESS

+Shazarna Harvey oh my days I love you and you deserve good things in life XD

+Shazarna Harvey You, are a great person. Thank you so much!


is it bad that probably my favorite part of this song is the sliding sound of your hand on the guitar strings?


takes like 5 minutes to learn but it sounds so lovely even though its so simple


I haven't played my guitar for like 8 months but after seeing this video I was like "I must go play this song"


lyndsey 1975 the ukulele teacher did one!

You can see what she's playing in the video just try to mirror it ;)


dodie ty you for helping me take courage and call that special person because I don't want to lose her as friend 😊


now that I know this song can be about friendship I just realized if my friendship keeps going the way its going I'm going to be alone....


Explanation 00:00-4:01
Tutorial 4:01-7:05
Karaoke 7:31


What is the tin in the "does exactly what it says on the tin" line? I might just be missing something obvious, but I have no idea.

ctyoung16 a break does exactly what it says on the tin - it breaks

ctyoung16 A tin is like a can. If a can says it has beans in it it has beans. It is exactly what it says.

It means that a break does what it says, it breaks you apart

+ctyoung16 in the UK tin means the same as can (like we'd say a tin of beans instead of a can of beans), so it basically means does what it says on the can/label on the can

I think she's saying that a "break" really just breaks people apart

+ctyoung16 it's just a common expression to say that it does the obvious; it does exactly what the metaphorical label says

+Nope Nopity Nope Nope A bit off-topic but sometimes I see a label on jar lids saying something along the lines of "This button may be depressed." and my mind immediately goes "Oh no! :(" and jumps to feeling sorry for it... Even though I KNOW that's not what it means.

I took that line as what it says on warning labels. "If the seal is broken please do not purchase" idk I'm weird and like metaphors.

"We both know a break does exactly what it says on the tin" if someone says maybe we should try a break, in terms of like, not seeing or talking to each other, the word break will mean something literally; the friendship will break


I wish I had sheet music for this, I just can't get the structure right in my head. Still beautiful though, it sounds even better on electric


This song gives me all the feels, I want to cry and yet want to be happy at the same time?


we have the same bedspread thing! :) love this song by the way, i can relate. xx love from minnesota <3

@PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES YOOOO YOU ARE MY FAVE CHANNEL FREAKING HAMILTON AMIRITE


Watching you sing the notes and how to play the song made me think of Vi Hart :)


The beginning reminds me so much of Youth by Daughter!


DODIEEEE. I LITERALLY JUST POSTED A COVER OF THIS SONG AND I JUST FOUND THIS VIDEO. <del>face palm</del> But you're awesome and I'm glad you posted this anyway.

Dodie, you are absolutely beautiful
And I'm sorry that this abusive realtionship happened to you
But you're stronger now, yay! <3


The first time I heard the song I was like oh pretty. And then something happened and it was the most true thing I've ever heard.


Such a great song..Am I allowed to cover a song of yours??<br> Please people thumbs up so she could see this :*

Such a great song..Am I allowed to cover a song of yours??
 Please people thumbs up so she could see this :*


I looooove this!!! I covered it on my channel and it would truly mean a lot if anyone checked it out, regardless- have an amazing day!


I like this song more on electric. Sounds great on both electric and acoustic though.


You sound beautiful it makes me want to cry every time!!!! But it also makes me happy


can you make a tutorial for it on ukulele

You've just got to tune it down and play the 5,7,2,3 bits on the bottom string and use the 1st string as your base string (dgce tuning rather than gcea) the strings plucked on the guitar for this song are are d and e.


I'm literally never going to play your song but for some reason your tutorial was so entertaining I watched it anyway.


Any advice on how to do this? I've just broken up with my boyfriend but I'd like to remain friends and (if this song is who I think it's about) from what I've seen you've managed to do a really good job at staying friends.


Can someone tell me how many times you play each verse? Thanks!! <3


I looked into the song like that and I relate so much to it :((( (I didn't see this before though it's weird since it's one of my favourite songs of yours)


did you literally sing Bounce at the beggining... oh the memories


I CAN PLAY GUITAR YAY! I CAN PLAY THIS WOO lovely song lovely tutorial generally lovely human you are Dodie


I had a similar interpretation; but more of like a situation in which you are trying not to lose what you have with a best friend when the two of you start a relationship


i burst out laughing so hard at the end picture oh my god. great video!


that moment when you're trying to lick your electric guitar;p


Thank you so much for the lesson :D Here's my cover of the song--->   https://soundcloud.com/sakii-infixx/sick-of-losing-soulmates


i love how much u love ur electric guitar


Gosh, I used to play guitar and I just never really got into it during the few years I took lessons and such. But lately, I've been really wanting to pull my guitar out and learning new things. Sooooon!


I just tried doing this on a CLASSIC guitar so I started pulling the 2nd string like hell thinking it would be the same and now it broke.<br>I'M SUCH AN INTELLIGENT HUMAN BEING

Doddle can you plz plz plz make a video teaching us how to play the ukulele,I want to learn how to play and I've been searching for videos on YouTube but I couldn't find any good ones.i hope you see this P.s.your amazing, I love your music ❤❤❤


I'm probably the only person who sees it this way. But I recently lost my horse to a sickness, then when I was ready to find a new one to love, she got taken away from me last week and moved away. I found this song a few days ago and boy can I relate. love it tho dodie! it's great😊

Sharon's Grace things are great! I miss him of course but after taking some time off I got a new horse and he's awesome. I mean everything is different without my boy but I'm glad to say I've continued strong!

Ride to Fly <br>i'm so sorry to hear that. how are things now, if you don't mind me asking?

I haven't played guitar in about 5 years and I just got it out for this.


God, I love you so much. Honestly, you are one of my favourite people on this Earth. <3


i dont even play, i just watched cause youre so bloody cute


Ah oh my god! I knew this was about friends.<br>I even wrote a comment about my best friend asking me out and it being a struggle when I said no.

I can't stop replaying the first seven seconds! 😆


i'm going camping with my friends and i'll bring my guitar!!  so i can play this song next to a fire with all my friends singing along <3


I'm so happy watching this bc you seem so happy in it :)


can't wait to learn this when I'm home from uni!


OMG DODIE SINGING BOUNCE MY DAY HAS BEEN MADE THIS IS GREAT


that little bit at the beginning was the greatest thing ever!!


bruhhh this plucking thing has me shook <br>I can't dooo itttt XD

bruhhh this plucking thing has me shook
I can't dooo itttt XD

Same but I eventually got the hang of it

Lol,same I can only do it very fast not the pace she did it


oohhhh. what I took it as was something about my life, where my friends kept leaving me and bullying me then I finally found the perfect friend who I would live and die for and hoping that I don't mess up or that they leave.


Dang even the notes and how you play the song is deep


On the meaning of this song;

I feel this so much, I'm trying so hard to be friends with someone who has helped me grow as a person so much by being with me and the breakup was amicable and we should have been friends and I try so hard to be their friend but they do not reciprocate and I know I need to cut them out for my own wellbeing but it's so hard not to internalise it and wonder why they won't talk to me anymore :(


I might just get my old cheap ass guitar back out but if anyone has a version on ukulele that would be so so cool,, hit me up

Heloise L.H. well, whatcha do is ya tune your C string on the ukulele to a D, then you play what Dodie teaches in this video on the e string x


I've been there too (not that he was an abuser but i was not comfortable anymore, and we broke up recently.  and now I can understand why your recent song hit me that hard. Thank you for letting us (in any way) having that person you know it's so important to get out from that hole. <br>Thank you.

Thank you.


Please include your strumming pattern next time love :)


THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS and I was just about to post something saying 'wait was it about' BUT NOW IM NOT GOING TO bc i'm pretty sure I know but im not gonna post that 😂 I learned this on guitar the day you uploaded it bc a very helpful person worked it out in the comments and i LOVE THIS SONG


could you maybe please do this for 'down' as well? I listen to that one almost everyday


I'm watching this is January 2017 and holy shit I remember the Jonas and Demi singing Bounce.


what are the chords? I need this for the ukulele


ok but i am so excited about this because i just learned guitar and now i can play one of your songs and ya. im happy


How do u do the plucking thing all the way through this song?! I can never understand how you do it? Love you xx


The song actually helped me with my sexuality...


I have been in the same situation as you a couple times, but I've never been able to hold onto them afterwards as you have in this case. you're very lucky you're able to stay friends with this person. the people I've been with or have had mutual feelings for start off really loving and "in awe" of me or whatever but within a year they become really nasty or use me and whatever. basically say/do all the things they said they never would and I always feel like its my fault. like this last guy knew about my previous abusive relationship and how he made me think i was mad, and he said he'd always take my triggers into account and never treat me that way. then he literally did the same stuff and worse. I'm always trying to stay friends with these people even though they're awful, because I still care about them, but people are so bitter. ive always wished I had a brother so I could have at least one good example of the male species lol


OMG the Jonas brothers!! I love it!! Your so amazing!!😍😜


Ever wondered if the good friend who got you through your bad relationship only took all the time to do that, because they wanted to have you instead?


I was listening to the first part of the video about like staying friends etc. etc. and I just thought literally how relateable that is like me and my girlfriend just broke up and it's so hard to stay friends and agh I love her (sorry eek :/) but like it put a new perspective on the song and it's not just about sick of break-ups etc. it's more it just seems SO much more meaningful now agh ^-^


I'm a beginner it's to hard for me right now I'll back to it later dodie

Root Beer "easy to get into any pattern" as in strumming pattern. from my understanding they were talking generally. not just about this song.

Kirsty McKenna still wrong. It's a completely different technique so knowing how to strum won't help you learn how to fingerpick.

Root Beer I think they meant in general, once you get the hang of being able to strum a guitar it's pretty easy to get into any pattern

there is literally no strumming in the song

karmapolice I'm not to bad now but once you can do the strumming it's easyish


I'm going to watch the entire video and I don't even own a guitar<br>That's how dedicated I am

I'm going to watch the entire video and I don't even own a guitar
That's how dedicated I am


i hope you someday see my cover; you're my absolute inspiration for everything. <3


Dodie do you think that you could make a video on your songwriting process and how to compose pieces of music? I'd like to start making my own songs but I have no idea where to begin :/ xx


1:17 "Oh yay, a messag... oh, it's in the video."


Dodie, you should make an electric guitar version


Those pictures of you with the guitar at the end made my day xD


The chords remind me of a Paramore song but I can't frickiNG remember which one ugh


I suffer from tiny hands but this actually looks manageable <b>happy tears</b>

I suffer from tiny hands but this actually looks manageable *happy tears*


omgg can you film the electric guitar version, it sounds much better!
this is such a masterpiece dodie H HHHHH
(OH BTW CAN YOU LIKE POST A PIC ON INSTAGRAM ON HOW IS YOUR ACOUSTIC GUITAR TUNED BC I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO TUNE IT TO PLAY THE SONGGG ;-; )


Can you do an updated "get ready with me" pleaseeeeeee, love you!☺☺


Can someone translate this into uke? Literally anyone.

Should I hold the tunes on the C or A string?

Heidy Baez for anything but baritone, play it on C and A. Basically subtract 1 from whatever fret she's on in the tutorial so like: 4, 6, 1, 2, and so on

Heidy Baez THIS SONG WITH UKULELE WOULD BE AMAZING OML


Is this similar to Youth by Daughter, in terms of chords/notes? it sounds a little bit, i don't know. You're really cool, keep doing what you do!:)


I'm really not musicaly talented. BUT, I am obsessed with the music I listen to and I really like thinkin about it and analysing lyrics. And i just love ur music soooo much. And I'm not sure y watched this video bc i kind of knew what it meant and I definitely wasnt going to be able to learn it so yh... Loved the video 😅💜💜


THAT FEELING WHEN YOU TRY TO LEARN THIS BC YOU HAVE AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR BUT WHEN YOU TOUCH THE FRETS IT JUST MUTES THE SOUND<br>HOW DO YOU PLAY A GUITAR

By any chance did you use a little inspiration from Lauren Aquilina's song 'Lilo'? I LOVE HER VOICE AND YOURS!!!


BOUNCE! throwback to jonas bros days!!!!!!!!!!!!


I always thought it was about you loving someone who didnt love you back. sick of losing soulmates because you keep losing your romantic interests, you found a guy who made you feel amazing and you fell for him but he didnt like you back so you grew up as friends


You're making me want to learn this on the guitar as my first song but like it has curse words in it and I'd have to use my mom's guitar and she doesn't like profanity ahhhh


can someone tell me the frets and such for it<br>like this sounds dumb but eh

can someone tell me the frets and such for it
like this sounds dumb but eh

Of course!
Start out on the 5th fret and hit strings e&d over and over throughout the whole song.
Next jump to the 7th fret move down to 2nd fret and then up to 3rd and repeat for the main first bit.
Then go from the 7th fret to the 5th to the 9th and to the 2nd and 3rd again. Then move to the 2nd fret and go to 3 rd then move to 5th fret up to 7th fret. Then just go move done half a step to the 6th fret then move down to 1st fret and back up to the 5th fret!!
Hope this helps and just keep practicing you'll get the hang of it!
Good Luck & Best Wishes
~Gabby


I find the instrumental is super soothing....


I've got it but my little sausage fingers make me MAD IT'S NOT PRODUCING THE NOISE


Hello. I love you so much. All your original songs help me with my life


uhhh so i was trying this out and i realized, if you find it too annoying to jumping up and down constantly you can just swap some of the 6th string parts string below it. for example for the 5th fret of the 6th string you can just play the 5th string, and the 7th fret on the 6th string can be replaced with the 2nd fret of the 5th string and so on. in the end you pretty much only need the first 4 frets so there's a lot less sliding your hand around.


probably your best song, to me anyway :)


Was that intro bounce from the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato ?


She didn't want to say names and I won't either but now all the rumours I've heard make sense and by the way I love the song Dodie and I can relate a lot


First Song Ever Played On My Guitar, Thanks!!!


is it bad that I listen to this song at 3 am and I was feeling emotional so I change the lyrics to fit what I was thinking about <br>and I'm planning on playing it to my friend who's been through alot? it feels like a ruined the song

Anyone else of 5sos vibes cause I did strongly and idek why

clique potato I think the electric gutair gave it that kind of vibe


Personally I think 7.29 should be the cover of your album.


Yooooo you should upload a vid of you singing the song while playing the electric guitar (((((: 💕


I'm trying to learn this on acoustic but I've only just started playing the acoustic and my notes just sound blunt 😩


me: tries to play along with karaoke<br>also me: gets lost

me: tries to play along with karaoke
also me: gets lost


on the ukulele, you could play F Am C G with chords E and A. As you pluck those to chords you play those notes. Or making it easy just play string E on the first fret, then finger free, then C and G for the first and second verse. Of course, it's a lighter key then a guitar but it works! for the chorus you play Am F C F, or finger free, then 1 finger on the first fret of E, then C and 1 finger on the first fret of string E again. hope that makes sense


I love you so much dodie can you please do a cover of gossip girl by grace vanderwaal on ukulele please thanks in advance


I know you most likely won't see this, but can I please use the instrumentals in the soundtrack for my short film?


hey dodie listening to this song/ explanation of the lyircs and what they meant as you wrote it as opposed to what WE interpret them as made me think you might like a song called Hebron by Real Friends.. but I also know you're not into the passionate yelling vocal style (since you didn't really like it in Goner I'm gonna assume you  just aren't really a fan which is ok!!!).

Anyways check it out your chord progression also reminded me of Hebron ok love you bye


im trying too think who it is, hope im right

Monroe she said keep the gossip to a low so dont say it on here in your head as she said bc she is still friends with the nice ex boyfriend but hmu on twitter or instagram and the conversation may continue twitter: @ Alex_Iglesias03 insta: @twdfan246 hmu

tytyfaith 44 oh... I thought I saw it somewhere.


Sick of losing soulmates and On my own(Tessa violet) is really representing my social life right now


Dodie, super quick question. What's the picking pattern? (ex: 1st 3rd 1st 3rd 1st 3rd 1st 3rd 1st 3rd 3rd 3rd) If you see this, oh mygoshiloveyousomuch! Someday you should do a tour of the Dovan flat!


Dodie you're so cute here ahhhh you've stolen my heart


well she said "the guy I'm talking about "  so I'm assuming it's a guy?

+NotJustBlonde this exchange was beautiful😂


This is great! now I just need to learn to play some kind of musical instrument thingy


You gotta do it with an electric guitar on here!!


+ReeceConnolly though, it is about sammy yes

+PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES  jfc i tried to delete this comment


I really love the lyrics here<br>"I can finally see you're as fucked up as fIRST FRET"

I really love the lyrics here
"I can finally see you're as fucked up as fIRST FRET"


Omg just came to this video for the first time and now I'm like 'LET ME SEE THAT BODY BOUNCE BABY, LET ME SEE THAT BODY BOUNCE'. This has made my day and I just paused at 0:09 x


THAT INTRO HAD ME GOING! JOBROS FOR LIFE!


This song reminds me of my best friends tbh


YOU SHOULD DO KARAOKE FOR ALL YOUR ORIGINALS!!!


My first video I've seen after wanting to for a long time, and already subscribed! I feel like I've found another favourite Youtuber that I will become absolute trash to.


I must say, you have picked out the most charming photograph for the karaoke part


I understood it the way you wanted to, maybe it's becouse I've been throught almost same thing. When I thought that nothing will ever change and I'll stay miserable for the rest of my life, one person showed me who I really am, that I am worth being happy and saved me. <br>What the hell would I be without him.

Can you please show us how to play this on uke!


i thought i liked tom law bUT HELL NO HE CAN DO ONE


ive been asking for a ukulele for my birthday bc of u dodie nd now i want a guitar godammit


If you don't like jumping around that much just alter the 5th and 7th frets with open A and 2nd fret A but it's kinda necessary if want to slide up to the B note.


The photos of her at the end with her guitar KILLED me


I actrually really like it on the guitar.


YAY I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD DO THIS :))))


does anyone know notes/chords for this :/ i play uke and piano and i cant figure it out


I can't for the life of me sing the first bit of the chorus at the same time as switching chords 😭


When you pluck the strings how many do you times do you pluck both before you pluck the third string twice because I'm struggling with the pattern


playing this song in a c sharp tuning is epic.


HA, that moment when you wanna learn how to play this song but you only have acoustic and not electric. IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE


Bro this sounds like it could be in Life is Strange: Before the Storm


This song means everything to me. I'm demiromantic polyromantic asexual, and all 4 of my relationships have been with friends. First was with my old guy best friend from age 6 through age 14. Second, I'm actually still friends with and him and I are even closer as friends.
Third, he is a complete dbag to me and broke up with me because I'm asexual.
Fourth, I ended it. I didn't want to, but he's better off without me. It made me feel uncomfortable that we didn't know each other IRL because we met on Instagram. We're still friends, but I felt so bad for hurting him.
I wish I wasn't a pain in the ass.


How the bloody hell do you do that plucking? i'm veeeeery new to the guitar and this is the first song i wanna learn xD

Practiced some more and I think i got it, it was just the order i had trouble with, thank you for asking though!

What about it are you having a hard time with?


Hey! Hopefully Dodie won't mind me posting down here but my little choir of 5 people just took part in a competition in our local shopping centre and we need votes to get through to the final. If you fancy, you can click on the link and watch the video and comment vote on the video if you want to support us. Thanks! :) <br>Oh also, I love the song btw. Obviously. Just, obviously X

I found the mv first before this so the way I take the lyrics is way different than it actually is 😂


You're so gorgeous and great. Glad I found you eeeeee!


Honestly DOROTHY FUCKING CLARK!!
You honestly don't know how much I look up to you!
You inspire me every single day and remind me life is shit sometimes and that's the truth!
Im am literally in love with you!
I won't go into detail about my life but it aint great but something as silly as a video makes me get up in the morning .
My life goal is literally for me to make u genuinely smile sometimes
So u probably won't see this or notice my existence but well we all have something to live for right?
If I ever make u smile I can die happy (bit deep but im drugged up on an IV line so basically im high on legal antibiotics)


Am I the only one that wants to see animated Dodie videos??


Whoops. Just sang along and was done with the lyrics and yet there was a minute left of kareoke. How do you have the patience for all those pauses Dodie!?


I made the mistake of dating one of my best friends a little over a year ago. it turns out she was a good friend, but an emotionally abusive girlfriend. we ended on okay terms and our friendship suffered a little bit, but we recovered. I thought everything was fine until she brought her abusive ways into our friendship. toxic people will always be toxic. nothing will change. don't trust them.


dodie yelling at her phone is such a mood


BOUNCE!!! <br>Also, great video over all :)


If it turns out that I Knew You Once is about the nice person who Sick of Losing Soulmates is about trying to stay friends with now I will actually cry my fucking eyes out.


I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW WHAT BOUNCE WAS BECAUSE I WAS LITERALLY OBSESSED WITH IT IN MY JO BRO DAYS.

Does anyone have the picking pattern figured out? :) Thanks!


Please can you translate this into ukulele as I can't play guitar 😭💖💖


You speak of saying 'no' to losing friends after a break up, but what if it's them that cut you out?
I recently broke up with that guy, we were together for 5 years, and I considered some of our common friends as my besties too. I had an impression that our break up was all grown-up and mature, and that we had generally good standing after this, but few months later (while I was taking my time to heal up after that and did not talk to those people at all) my other friend told me that my ex were actually backbiting me all this time. That it became an established opinion, that I'm a b***h that dumped her bf, and he's so poor and miserable. What's more, my ex seemed to enjoy that situation, and didn't deny this statement. Not once.

Nevertheless, I love your song, and I identify mysellf with it in my own way, but... I just wanted to say that maybe it is not always in our power, to save all the relationships. Not even those that we considered 'soulmateships'.


I just covered this song on my channel. It's not half as good as this goddess but I think you guys would like it!


Can anyone tell me how "Sick of Losing Soulmates" would be played on the ukulele?? I'd SO appreciate that, as a learning-uke-player!

+Isla Bristol (BuffyWho19) No problem! I don't like interjecting ads into conversation, I feel impure, but I think you may genuinely enjoy my channel, I of course do music stuff, so give it a look if you have time to and feel like listening to some tunes. Good luck with that cover!

@Sean E
Fantastic. Your help is greatly, greatly appreciated (and, I'm sure not just by me, but by all uke-players who benefit from your direction)!
Thanks, again, so much! :)

@Sean E
*Fantastic*. Your help is greatly, greatly appreciated (and, I'm sure not just by me, but by all uke-players who benefit from your direction)!
Thanks, again, so much! :)

+Isla Bristol (BuffyWho19) No problem! Also mind the slight error I made in the warning! You will tune the A string to a D (as I initially said). In the warning, I said you will tune it to E, that is incorrect. Your C string needs to be an E. Your A string needs to be a D. I am also going to edit that original reply, so don't be confused if you look back at it and cannot tell what I am talking about. I am a fellow ukulele fan (quite obviously) so I do what I can for other uke players! If you can remember, post the link to your cover once you have it up on this thread here, I would love to see it! :D

@Sean E Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you (for taking the time, and for writing this in such a detailed, yet clear manner)!!
These instructions are WONDERFUL. I'm gonna get straight to work on this! :D

These instructions are WONDERFUL. I'm gonna get straight to work on this! :D

+Isla Bristol (BuffyWho19) If you have a ukulele capo, then you will put that on the 4th fret. This will bring your C string (2nd from the top) up to an E (filling the spot of the top string on the guitar). If you do not have a ukulele capo, you will just have to tune it up to an E. Regardless, you will then&#160;tune your A string (bottom string) up to a D (filling the spot of the third string from the top on guitar). Then there you go! Just do as Dodie does on your uke!

Warning: I would advise you to not do this if you do not have a capo. Your strings will be getting terrifyingly tight. So go get one, or make your own with a pencil and rubber band. You will still have to tune the A string up to D with the capo, but with the capo on the 4th fret, you will be tightening it from C# to D instead of from A to D. So it is perfectly fine with the capo.

i require an eyebrow tutorial. yours are always on point girl *____*


What camera do u use? And what light do u use? Thank you!


My guitar is sitting in the corner gathering dust and this is making me itch to pick it up again


A mate I've known since I was twelve helped me realise I was in an abusive relationship. He made sure I got myself out. He then found a new partner and deleted all his old friends. That was 2017, I've not heard from him since and have no means of contacting him.


Hey Dodie I really want to buy a Ukulele but I'm not sure which to buy. Which one is the best to start with? Anyway I loved the song and keep up the good work. XD


I've never played guitar before and I would love to learn this song since it's quite easy, but I simply don't understand Doddie's finger placement on the strings and if she presses on them or just rests her fingers on them. Actually, I don't really understand anything other than the thumb and index finger thing, so can someone please help me?

+Sabina Maria soooo u go throught the chorus part 5723 twice and then start signing

+Sabina Maria haha sorry for posting it so many times😂😂ya thts wht im figuring out right now ill tell u in a sec!

+Amanda K Thank you! That actually helped me a lot. But have you got any idea when to start singing? I've learnt to play the song even without watching but I'm having a hard time figuring out when to actually start singing, I mean what fret and how long and things like that.

i can tell u the strumming pattern. starting with the string closest to u(tht stands for 1) and then count down 1,2,3. on the 3rd string from u(stands as 2). so u go 1212212 1212212


wait this is such an easy song to play omg I’m gonna do it now


What a strange being you are, God knows where I would be
If you hadn't found me, sitting all alone in the dark
A dumb screenshot of you
Watch how a cold broken teen
Will desperately lean on a superglued human of proof

What the hell would I be, without you
Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth

'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?

We will grow old as friends, I've promised that before
So what's one more?
In our grey-haired circle, waiting for the end
Time and hearts will wear us thin
So which path will you take, cause we both know a break
Does exactly what it says on the tin

What the hell would I be, without you
Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth

'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?

I won't take no for an answer (I won't take no for an answer)
I won't take no for an answer (I won't take no for an answer)
I won't take no (I won't take no)
I won't take no (I won't take no)

I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me

Can you use this for acoustic guitar as well?


1:00
OKAY I'M SORRY DODIE I GET IT

i'm still smiling that you noticed me though lol


Can I use the karaoke part for one of my videos? I'll be sure to credit you :)


Is it possible for you to do a simpler version of absolutely smitten? if not that's ok, but if you can that would be amazing!


I think i got the pattern, but when do i change fret? generally how long should i pluck the stings for?  i think i got the
"what a -> stange being you -> are. god -> knows where ... found - > me sitting.. " (where an arrow indicates the next fret) most of the chorus, but at the pre-chorus and most of the verses i am p unsure.
i've tried looking the original vid, but her hand is out of frame, and i cant really hear when she changes either (bc im a music noob) pls help?


So I have this one friend. I usually love my friends for no reason like mostly the only reason is the lil "friendship crush" I have on them before becoming friends. But it's different with her. I never really had a crush on her. Not in a friendship way and neither in a romantic way. I just like her so much because "she's as fucked up as me". It felt like we were soulmates. But then I invited her to my house the same day I invited one of my so called "best friends". I was having trouble with that best friend at the same time because she annoyed me a lot. And then they totalled ignored me that evening and just talked to each other and were so rude to me. And then they got together. The don't have anything in comment. And suddenly I wasn't important anymore. I was even more annoyed by my "best friend" then and I'm still having problems with her. But that's not the biggest problem. It's that I'm losing my soulmate. And I've lost soulmates in the past and I'm just sick of it. I don't know what to do. I love your song so much...


i hope you don't mind that i cover this at my weekly open mic night


I just discovered this and I feel dumb because it was released in 2015, but whatever. I'm so happy that I finally understand this song because I never really got it before now. Also, I didn't realize it was so easy to play. This year's talent show, here I come!


ahhh I don't have a guitar but I have a ukulele but I wanna learn this so bad


Going through hard best friend ignoring me times. This song was hard as I don't have a super glued human of proof to lean on.


Jesus, Dodie. You are the most perfect human being. You are just the most caring, loving, sweetest, goodest (is that even a word?) person I have ever (not in real life) known. I can't listen to your songs without getting emotional af and without going 'daaw' in my head. I'm literally obsessed. I guess you kind of changed my life. I feel like a better person just being able to play this song (more or less). Okay, fine. Enough. Just keep in mind that you are so, so loved.


This is great, but can I get a tab because it's hard to be watching it everytime I wanna play


Will you post the updated version of Sick of Losing Soulmates with the electric guitar?


THE BIT WHERE YOU WERE PLAYING THE GUITAR REMINDED ME OF SCHOOL OF ROCK OMG


im relating to dodie so much, me and my boyfriend broke up last night and we've been together for almost two years and he was controlling and i lost so many friends because he also convinced me that my friend where evil snd bad friends...i asked him if we could have a brake but he said no and he basically said "its all or nothing" so i had to go for nothing and it broke me and im still sad about it. I chose to brake up with him while i was out with my closest friends and i had just had enough. They all hugged me and where (still are) so supportive and i love them so much and i dont want to lose them again x they probably wont read this but im so happy that they have helped me so much, thankyou everyone <3


I had to take my guitar out of tune in order to play it lol. I kind of love that though 💕


Omg omg omg Dodie!! You are so adorable and super quirky and really funny!!!!! Like, "B to the O to the U to the N to the C to the E I can't dance!  That's okay we'll show you how to bounce. Lol. And oh, whose messaging me?"


I have written a song in the exact same way as this, eith a different rithm and string sliding(?) leaving the third string open and just playing E and OMGG


NOW IM THE KINDA GUY THAT LIKES TO BOUNCE NOW IM THE KINDA GUY THATS GOT A PET MOUSE (Doddie, you have just put faith back into humanity)


Going to re-watch the song with context and technical knowledge


Please pretty please can you do other kareoke versions of your other songs like Down? PLAZZ ^-^


Love the duct tape on your electric guitar XD <3 <3


I know I'm over a year late but Your adorable Dodie


the pictures during the karoke hahaaa   Dodie  your my favorite person <3


Does anyone know any ukulele chords for this?


Would this tutorial be the same on acoustic guitar?


Can someone please tell me how many times to repeat each thing (like intro and pre chorus and chorus and so on)


I HAD MY VOLUME UP REALLY HIGH AND YOUR "BYE"" AT THE END KILLED MY EARS


You're such a good song writer I don't get it


i just, um, i can't, i fucking love you dodie


if somebody could write out the lyrics and the point at which i change frets i'd love you forever xxxx


Could you to a video on how to harmonise?☺


i can't stop replaying the first seven seconds


Hey Dodie! I've started learning the song and I've been using a pic, is that Okay? Got any tips for strumming with ur fingers?


Me favourite thing is her creating tutorials for her own videos


I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME LOSING PEOPLE ALL THE TIME! IT'S EVER SO LONELY, NOW! :(


my favourite part is "i can finally see...you're as fucked up as FIRST FRET."


DoobleOdleboble... I love the explanation of the song.. but umm.. as the gear head I am, I mainly just clicked on it because you were holding an electric guitar... I am not disappointed.. especially for that rock pose XD


What the hell would I be, without you
Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth

Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again
I can finally see, you're a s fucked up as me
So how do we win?

I won't take no for an answer (I won't take no for an answer)
I won't take no for an answer (I won't take no for an answer)
I won't take no (I won't take no)
I won't take no (I won't take no)

What the hell would I be, without you
Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth

Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?


What a strange being you are, God knows where I'd be
If you hadn't found me, sitting all alone in the dark
A dumb screenshot of youth
Watch how a cold broken teen
Will desperately lean upon a superglued human of proof

What the hell would I be, without you
Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth

Now I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again
I can finally see, you're a s fucked up as me
So how do we win?

We will grow old as friends, I've promised that before
So what's one more?
In our grey-haired circle, waiting for the end
Time and hearts wear us thin
So which path will you take, cause we both know a break
Does exactly what it says on the tin


I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WERE SINGING BOUNCE I sing that to my friends and they never get it


Im here 7 years later hehe me and my best friend learned this together


Who else replay the beginning a bunch of times XD


There will never come a day when I dont die laughing at :   I CAN FINALLY SEE YOURE AS FUCKED AS FIRST FRET


I want to drink tea while watching this but I'm trapped in my solitary room because I have a towel in between my door and the wall because if I don't at precisely 2 AM my cat will try to get in and if he does he will sit on me. I overshare don't I


Did anyone else just get really happy when she said "I'm not going to break up with Evan." then I got sad because she said they weren't going out. I ship it. I ship it so much.
