• Capo on 1st
• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: Ab

Verse 1:

    G
The kid that you knew is now falling apart
            Em
And used to puking in the bathroom so hard you can hear a heart
          C
And after nervous expeditions in my piss-poor condition
     G                                  D
I am finding out that changes aren't al-ways just a new start
              G
But I'm still old enough to know that I'm not too young to not care
          E
One day I will have to buy "men's" clothes and probably cut my hair
           C
And I will count my days in cigarettes, in lost hopes and main regrets
    G                                  D
And think of how nice it would be if I didn't have to care

Bridge:

          Am
Like I do anyway
             C
Same shit, a different day
     Am        C
It's dire, I'm tired
       G                     D
And my purpose itself has ex-pired
     Am        C
It's dire, I'm tired


Verse 2:

G                                  B                       Em
You think that I'm wonderful, and I think that you're wrong
      G                               B             Em
Every stranger underneath my skin was ugly all along
     G                               B                 Em
As a drifter finding different places they don't belong
  C                                       Am          D
I won't pretend to fight for you, for I've never felt strong
G                                 B                       Em
You think that I'm terrible, and I think that you're right
     G                                       B              Em
If I go outside, I'll fall apart, as the sun, it shines too bright
       G                               B                Em
Now my fortress of safe solitude collapsed from its own height
   C                                    Am          D
So while you're sleeping calmly, I'll be sitting up-right singing


Outro:
 G                   C
"I'll spend my whole life alone
    Em            C
and never find my-self a home
    G                 C
Suc-cumb to all which that I'm prone
    Em                C
and pretend like I've always known.”
       Em                C
'Cause I have nightmares every night
  Em                C
a constant state of fight-or-flight
  Em              C
I live to be this sorry sight
    Em                     C    G
and wake myself up just to spite
