Intro:


A# F
Dm  C  A# F
Dm  C  A# F


Verse:

Dm                    C              A#
I'm caught up in the everyday trend
             F
Tied up by invisible thread
Dm              C
Walking down a razor-thin edge
      A#
And I wake up tired,
          F
think I'm better off dead
Dm
Been a few months since
  C                   A#
I crossed over state lines

Talk to my mom,
            F
fake smiles over FaceTime
Dm
Drink all night till
  C                         A#
I can't walk in a straight line
                    F
Feel so low but I'm high at the same time


Pre-Chorus:

F                Am           A#
I can't keep my feet on the ground
        F
And I'm nervous
            Am           A#
what you'll think of me now
    F                Am          A#
I'm hoping that someone comes around
         C          Dm   Am  A#
Helps me figure it out


Chorus:

  Dm                   C
I think that I should try to
        A#    F
kill my ego
       Dm
'Cause if I don't,
   C               A#   F
my ego might kill me
    Dm                C
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
    A#             F
I'm acting like a freaking baby
    Dm             C           A#    F
I'm really not as happy as I seem


Verse:

Dm
Still a little kid

that can't make friends
A#
Wanna be invited,
            C
but I won't attend
          Dm
I've been having bad dreams

my career could end
         A#
'Cause I slip up when
                   C
I should've played pretend
Dm
Turned eighteen and
  C
I left the city
         A#
Said, "I wanna be cool,
        F
I don't wanna be pretty"
    Dm               C
The voices all came crashing down
           A#
And said, "You're too nice to
F
run this town"


Pre-Chorus:

F                Am           A#
I can't keep my feet on the ground
        F
And I'm nervous
            Am           A#
what you'll think of me now
    F                Am          A#
I'm hoping that someone comes around
         C          Dm   Am  A#
Helps me figure it out


Chorus:

  Dm                   C
I think that I should try to
        A#   F
kill my ego
       Dm
'Cause if I don't,
   C               A#    F
my ego might kill me
    Dm                C
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
    A#             F
I'm acting like a freaking baby
    Dm             C           A#
I'm really not as happy as I seem
F                Dm     C  A#
Nothing's as it seems
F                Dm     C  A# F
Nothing's as it seems
        Dm                C
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately
    A#
I'm acting like
  F
a freaking baby
    Dm               C            A#  F
I'm really not that happy being me


Bridge:

A#
I don't like the lie

I'm living
    C
I'm way too nice and too forgiving
  Dm
I wanna go back to the beginning
                       C
When it all felt right
  A#
G  rooftop, Lower East Side,

I'm singing
C
Didn't give a freak if

I was winning
     Dm
It's all done now,

who am I kidding?

N.A#.
I'm doing way worse

than I'm admitting


Chorus:

  Dm                   C
I think that I should try to
        A#    F
kill my ego
       Dm
'Cause if I don't,
   C               A#    F
my ego might kill me
    Dm                C
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
    A#             F
I'm acting like a freaking baby
    Dm             C           A#
I'm really not as happy as I seem
F                Dm     C  A#
Nothing's as it seems
F                Dm     C  A# F
Nothing's as it seems
        Dm                C
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately
    A#             F
I'm acting like a freaking baby
    Dm
I'm really not that
C            A#
happy being me
