Burnt Out Former Gifted Kid Ukulele chords by Kid Pixie

🎸 Verse 1:
C                                      Dm
my entire self is built from praise I received in adolescence
        F                               G
and the ever growing fear that I'm just getting less impressive
     C                            Dm
they told me I was special, never taught me how to not be
         F                          G
I'll fly straight into the sun baby it's to late to stop me




🎸 Verse 2:
C                       Dm
top of the class to the bottom of the barrel
    F                           G
I'm drowning in the plot of my forever dress rehearsal
C                                Dm
had my piece of cake but I can't stomach bread and butter
        F                          G
take my better self to bed just to hide under the covers

🎸 Chorus:
G      C                Dm            F           G
am I a burnt out former gifted kid or just a lazy narcissist?
      C            Dm                  F                       G
was I always gonna be like this? Is it something we could have avoided?
   C                      Dm
my identity rests on each performance
F                    G
real is a risk and I can't afford it
C                    Dm
I need your love and to ignore it
F          G
now clap


🎸 Verse 3:
C                           Dm
I retrace my steps follow a trail of perfect scores
        F                                G
and I'm unsurprised to realize that I've always been this bored
C                                      Dm
always obsessed with winning, proud of not having to try
F                                  G
imprisoned in perception, hate the self I won't apply


🎸 Verse 4:
C                          Dm
I'll do almost anything to avoid being alone
         F                                G
with all that "so much potential" and the half assed seeds I've sown
C                                       Dm
it's like the opposite of stage fright, a fear still undefined
        F                  G
try to think about it like reading a strangers mind


🎸 Chorus:
G      C                Dm            F           G
am I a burnt out former gifted kid or just a lazy narcissist?
      C            Dm                  F                       G
was I always gonna be like this? is it something we could have avoided?
   C                      Dm
my identity rests on each performance
F                    G
real is a risk and I can't afford it
C                    Dm
I need your love and to ignore it
F          G

🎸 Verse 5:
C                                      Dm
the writings on the fourth wall, the stage is growing fragile
      F                         G
but I need to see you see me or reality unravels
C                                 Dm
a string of desperate measures, a tangled can’t grow up
     F                             G
I’ll implode if you ignore me, any excuse to self destruct


🎸 Verse 6:
C                             Dm
it's a lonely vain exhibit, a burning house of glass
        F                          G
nothing I do really matters 'til I share it with the class
C                                      Dm
I had barely learned to tie it before the other shoe was dropping
F                                   G
compulsive causing scenes cause I'm not real if you're not watching


🎸 Chorus:
G      C                Dm            F           G
am I a burnt out former gifted kid or just a lazy narcissist?
      C            Dm                  F                       G
was I always gonna be like this? is it something we could have avoided?
   C                      Dm
my identity rests on each performance
F                    G
real is a risk and I can't afford it
C                    Dm
I need your love and to ignore it
F          G C
