Verse

F#F#
I love you, I hate you, I'm on the fence, it all depends
F#F#
Whether I'm up or down, I'm on the mend, transcending all reality
F#F#
I like you, despise you, admire you
F#F#
What are we gonna do when everything all falls through?
F#F#
I must confess, I've made a mess of what should be a small success
F#F#
But I digress, at least I've tried my very best, I guess
F#F#
This, that, the other, why even bother?
F#F#   F#F#  E MajorE  D#D#   C#C#
It won't be with me on my deathbed, but I'll still be in your head

[Chorus]
F#F#              A augmentedA     BB         F#F#  A augmentedA   BB
Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you
F#F#             A augmentedA     BB         F#F#  A augmentedA   BB
Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
F#F#                A augmentedA         BB    F#F#  A augmentedA   BB
Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
F#F#             A augmentedA    BB       A#m7A#m7
I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny


F#F#      F#F#  E MajorE  D#D#   C#C#
Verse 2
F#F#
It's scratched and drifting, I've become attached to the idea
F#F#
It's all a shifting dream, bittersweet philosophy
F#F#
I've got no idea how I even got here
F#F#
I'm resentful, I'm having an existential time crisis
F#F#
Want bliss, daylight savings won't fix this mess
F#F#
Under-worked and over-sexed, I must express my disinterest
F#F#    F#F#  E MajorE  D#D#   C#C#
The rats are back inside my head, what would Freud have said?

CHORUS

Verse 3
F#F#
I wanna wash out my head with turpentine, cyanide
F#F#
I decide this internal diatribe
F#F#
When I try to catch you right, I hate seeing you cry
F#F#
In the kitchen, I don't know why it affects me like this
F#F#
When you're not even mine to consider
F#F#
Erroneous, harmonious, I'm hardly sanctimonious
F#F#
Dirty clothes, I suppose we all outgrow ourselves
F#F#
I'm a fake, I'm a phony, I'm awake, I'm alone
F#F#
I'm homely, I'm a Scorpio

CHORUS
