Intro:

E  B  F#  G#



Verse 1:
E            B                   F#             G#
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
E          B             F#       G#   F#
Midnights become my afternoons
E         B                  F#
When my depression works the graveyard shift
   G#             E             B                  F#         G#  F#
All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room

Pre-chorus 1:
  E                  B            F#
I should not be left to my own devices
G#               E        B
They come with prices and vices
      F#        G#  F#
I end up in crisis
E              B               F#
  I wake up screaming from dreaming
              G#   F#           E
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
          B                   F#         G#  F#
Cause you got tired of my scheming



Chorus:
     E   B
It’s me, hi
F#                    G#
I’m the problem, it’s me
    E   B      F#       G#
At tea time, everybody agrees
E           B                 F#
I’ll stare directly at the sun
         G#
But never in the mirror
E             B
It must be exhausting
        F#              G#   F#
Always rooting for the anti-hero


Instrumental:
E   B   F#   G#
E   B   F#   G#   F#

Verse 2:
E            B              F#        G#  F#
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
E          B               F#     G#  F#
And I’m a monster on the hill
E          B                  F#                   G#     F#
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
E                    B                F#    G#  F#
Pierced through the heart, but never killed


Pre-chorus 2:
         E        B         F#       G#        F#   E
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
       B             F#          G#  F#
Like some crooked congressman
E               B             F#
  I wake up screaming from dreaming
              G#    F#          E
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
               B             F#    G#  F#
And life will lose all its meaning


Chorus:
      E  B
It’s me, hi
F#                   G#
I’m the problem, it’s me
    E   B      F#       G#
At tea time, everybody agrees
E           B               F#
I’ll stare directly at the sun
          G#      F#
But never in the mirror
E             B
It must be exhausting
        F#               G#   F#
Always rooting for the anti-hero


Instrumental:
E   B   F#   G#


Bridge:
E              B            F#          G#
 I have this dream my daughter kills me for the money
E            B                 F#    G#  F#
She thinks I left her in the will
E           B                F#            G#
And all my family gathers round and then someone screams out
E               B              F#      G#  F#
 “He’s laughing up at us from hell!”


Chorus:
     E   B
It’s me, hi
F#                    G#
I’m the problem, it’s me
   E   B      F#       G#
At tea time, everybody agrees
E           B                 F#
I’ll stare directly at the sun
         G#        F#
But never in the mirror
E             B
It must be exhausting
        F#              G#   F#
Always rooting for the anti-hero.
