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

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


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

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


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


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


Bridge:
    A    C#m
But I'm okay
     B
For now
       A    C#m
I said I'm okay
    B
For now

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