β« Intro:
Em D C Em D C G
β« Verse:
Em D C
I'm caught up in the everyday trend
C G
Tied up by invisible thread
Em D
Walking down a razor thin edge
C G
And I wake up tired, think I'm better off dead
Em D C
Been a few months since I crossed over state lines
C G
Talk to my mom, fake smiles over FaceTime
Em D
Drink all night till I can't walk in a straight line
C
Feel so low but I'm high at the same time
β« PRE-Chorus:
G B C
I can't keep my feet on the ground
G B C
And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now
G B C
I'm hoping that someone comes around
C D Em C
Helps me figure it out
β« Chorus:
Em D C G
I think that I should try to kill my ego
Em D C G
'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me
Em D
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
C G
I'm acting like a fucking baby
Em D C G
I'm really not as happy as I seem
β« Verse:
Em
Still a little kid that can't make friends
C D
Wanna be invited, but I won't attend
Em
I've been having bad dreams my career could end
C G
'Cause I slip up when I should've played pretend
Em D
Turned eighteen and I left the city
C G
Said, "I wanna be cool, I don't wanna be pretty"
Em D
The voices all came crashing down
C
And said, "You're too nice to run this town"
β« PRE-Chorus:
G B C
I can't keep my feet on the ground
G B C
And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now
G B C
I'm hoping that someone comes around
C D Em G/B C
Helps me figure it out
β« Chorus:
Em D C G
I think that I should try to kill my ego
Em D C G
'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me
Em D
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
C G
I'm acting like a fucking baby
Em D C G
I'm really not as happy as I seem
Em D C
Nothing's as it seems
Em D C
Nothing's as it seems
Em D
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately
C G
I'm acting like a fucking baby
Em D C
I'm really not that happy being me
β« Bridge:
C
I don't like the lie I'm living
D
I'm way too nice and too forgiving
Em
I wanna go back to the beginning
Em D
When it all felt right
C
A rooftop, Lower East Side, I'm singing
D
Didn't give a fuck if I was winning
Em
It's all done now, who am I kidding?
(Who am I kidding )
I'm doing way worse than I'm admitting
β« Chorus:
Em D C G
I think that I should try to kill my ego
Em D C G
'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me
Em D
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
C G
I'm acting like a fucking baby
Em D C G
I'm really not as happy as I seem
Em D C
Nothing's as it seems
Em D C
Nothing's as it seems
Em D
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately
C G
I'm acting like a fucking baby
Em D C
I'm really not that happy being me
