Verse 1:
      A augmentedA       C# minorC#m E MajorE
It's like a midlife crisis
A augmentedA       C# minorC#m   E MajorE
Already has it in for me
A augmentedA          C# minorC#m E MajorE
I guess all this means
  A augmentedA         C# minorC#m G#G#
Is I'll be dead by forty
A augmentedA    BB            A augmentedA    A augmentedA     E MajorE   BB
I get so caught up in the future that the present's just a blur
A augmentedA    BB           E MajorE          G# minorG#m
I get so caught up in these anecdotes because I am obsessed with words 

Verse 2:
  C# minorC#m                 BB
And failure seems to scare me more than death 
           G# minorG#m             A augmentedA
But hey, I think I've got at least a solid fifty bucks to my name
  C# minorC#m      BB
So, clearly I'm okay.
   E MajorE       A augmentedA
Yeah, clearly I'm okay.


Chorus:
 A augmentedA         E MajorE         C# minorC#m       BB
I hate the way that I behave when I'm feeling so worn out
       A augmentedA        E MajorE       C# minorC#m     BB
Like I've got one foot in the grave and the other in my mouth 

A augmentedA C# minorC#m BB
A augmentedA E MajorE FF
A augmentedA C# minorC#m BB
A augmentedA C# minorC#m G# minorG#m

Verse 3:
A augmentedA     BB
Is it just me, or does it seem like 
  A augmentedA      E MajorE           BB
The world has a hit-list and no one survives? 
  A augmentedA    BB
A minorAm I in its crosshairs? I've put in my time. 
  E MajorE         BB
The nihilist in me is closing his eyes 

Verse 4:
    A augmentedA        C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m
If the world went up in flames tonight 
   A augmentedA           E MajorE     F#F#
Maybe then it could finally shed some light on
  A augmentedA        C# minorC#m
The questions eating me alive like: 
A augmentedA     E MajorE  n.c.
Are my parents proud? 


Chorus:
 A augmentedA         E MajorE         C# minorC#m       BB
I hate the way that I behave when I'm feeling so worn out
       A augmentedA        E MajorE       C# minorC#m     BB
Like I've got one foot in the grave and the other in my mouth
    A augmentedA            E MajorE
Because contradictions are what I do well 
   C# minorC#m      BB
I'm a narcissist who hates himself 
    A augmentedA      E MajorE
I'm the king of ego in this town
   C# minorC#m        BB
Who's plagued with crippling self-doubt 


Bridge:
  A augmentedA  C# minorC#m
But I'm okay
   BB
For now
    A augmentedA  C# minorC#m
I said I'm okay
  BB
For now

A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE
A augmentedA E MajorE BB

Verse 5:
A augmentedA        E MajorE        BB
  The world has made me feel so small
                           A augmentedA   E MajorE BB
And I'm sure that you can tell this doesn't bother me at all 
BB
She said, "Are you even sorry? 
        A augmentedA    E MajorE
Are you out for blood or glory? 
BB         A augmentedA   E MajorE BB
What's your story, boy?"
           A augmentedA     E MajorE BB
Is it too much to ask for both? 
       A augmentedA E MajorE BB
Blood or glory? 
           A augmentedA
Is it too much to ask for both?
