♫ Intro:

 Em D C Em D C G

♫ 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

♫ 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



♫ 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

♫ 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"

♫ 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



♫ 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

♫ 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

Nothing's as it seems
                  Em D C
Nothing's as it seems
        Em                   D
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately
