      E
It’s really very simple

I’m always ready to go out
cause my nervous system never learned to shut down

I’m comfortable dancing on my own
G#m                                                E

Sorry for myself, singing woe is me

You only like me in your shadow

Call up the pity party chateau
       G#m           A       B
Do you even hear me hello, woah

Write it on my headstone

Everyone checking in and out
                                  E
Talking to myself, such a joyful sound

Oh, what the hell, guess I’ll raise myself
