D D#

Verse 1:
A
What's the point, muffin?
                F#
I don't believe in nothin' anymore
         Bm             G
You tell me I don't relate to the kids no more
             D
Now, I feel like I'm letting them down

A
What's the point runnin'?
                F#
Not like I'm up-and-comin' anymore
  Bm                G
So what if they hear me on my bathroom floor?
   D
I'm sure they're big enough now

Pre-Chorus:

A
But, of course, I'll re-implore you
G                  D
On the kind of nation that we have
         A
You've either been on your own too long
       G                D
Or it just feels like that (It just feels like that)


A
So tell me if I'm stuck or movin' on up
G                 D
That's a conversation to be had
       A
Have I been livin' on my own too long
          G          D
Or does it just feel like that?


Chorus:

A
When I sing the song and you didn't like the verse
      G         D
I try to fix myself but nothing works
A
I sing the song and you didn't like the words
      ~
I try to fix myself but nothing

Nothing


Verse 2:

A
What's the point, Martin?
             F#
Don't you be startin' anymore
              Bm           G
They told me I was the fat cat kid for a minute
             D
But they're the ones who are doin' us proud

A
Well, what's the point runnin'?
                F#
Not like I'm up-and-comin' anymore
  Bm                 G
So what if they hear me singin' "I love war"?
   D
I'm sure they're big enough now


Pre-Chorus:

A
But, of course, I'll re-implore you
G                  D
On the kind of nation that we have

       G                D
Or it just feels like that (It just feels like that)

A
So tell me if I'm stuck or movin' up
G                   D
Now that's a conversation to be had
       A
Have I been talkin' to myself all along
        G          D
Or do I just sound like that?


Chorus:

  A
When I sing the song and you didn't like the verse

I try to fix myself but nothing works
A
I sing the song and you didn't like the words
      G         D
I try to fix myself but nothing works

A
I feel wrong, I feel rehearsed
      G         D
I try to fix myself but nothing works
A
I sing the song and you didn't like the words
      G
I try to fix myself but
