So don't treat me bad if I'm feeling sad, alright?

                       Chord diagramEbmEbm                          Chord diagramAbmAbm

Alright?

Pre-Chorus:

Chord diagramEbmEbm
I'm physically exhausted

Chord diagramBbmBbm         Chord diagramAbmAbm
Tired of my knuckles piercing

Chord diagramEbmEbm                          Chord diagramBbmBbm
I'm chewing gum to pass this time

         Chord diagramAbmAbm
Sadness, can't you see it?

Chord diagramEbmEbm                     Chord diagramBbmBbm
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes

Chord diagramAbmAbm
Look at how I'm feeling

Chord diagramEbmEbm                          Chord diagramAbmAbm
You write me up and say it's love

      N.C.
And I can't believe it

Chord diagramEbmEbm                   Chord diagramAbmAbm
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?

Chord diagramEbmEbm                            Chord diagramAbmAbm
I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension

Chord diagramEbmEbm                       Chord diagramAbmAbm
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?

Chord diagramEbmEbm                        Chord diagramAbmAbm
Pretending everything's alright is detention

Chord diagramEbmEbm
De-detention

De-detention

Chord diagramEbmEbm                         N.C.
Pretending everything's all right is (Shh!)

Verse 2:

Chord diagramEbmEbm                              Chord diagramAbmAbm Chord diagramBbmBbm
The teachers don't care about me

                    Chord diagramEbmEbm                  Chord diagramAbmAbm Chord diagramBbmBbm
Fuck how I feel, as long as I make money

Chord diagramEbmEbm                            Chord diagramAbmAbm     Chord diagramBbmBbm
They let them do whatever they want to me

            Chord diagramEbmEbm                        Chord diagramAbmAbm
They're the customer, I'm chopped meat

When all I ever asked was to go to the bathroom
