♫ Intro:


G G A A C C G G


♫ Verse 1:

    G
you fuck me up like a horoscope
         D
when you want to be sincere
        C             Am
you try so hard to be clever
                  G
that you're never clear

    Em
I'd bottom for you if you asked me to
        A
but I'm dancing alone in the living room
           G                D
and you're face down on the floor crying
         C
that you wish you weren't queer

               G
so I'll put my best face forward
                    A
but you know what a wreck I can be
                      C
I'm always getting in over my head
                         G
but never saying what I need

        G                          A
so I'll smile for the timeline and stare at ceilings alone
        C                           G
but I'm still not sure what to tell Simone


♫ Verse 2:

    G
you tear me down like an old lighthouse
         D
when you ask me to get you high
      C          Am
I try so hard to fix things
            G
that I'm never fine

        Em
you say can't really love me cause you hate yourself
           A
you're too tired and broken to crawl up from hell
            G                    D
and now I'm texting into a black hole
          C
that I'll never understand your mind

                G
you put on your deepest scowl
               A
but I know how kind you can be
                  C
a pillow princess flat on your back
                                G
afraid of what your weakness means

         G                               A
so I'll take your paintings off the wall block you from my phone
        C                              G
but I'm still not sure what to tell Simone


♫ Bridge:

C                                     B              B7
dressing down won't save you from the pain of being seen
Am                                 G
hiding yourself in a sea of cis machines
        C                                B                  B7
you can find a wife who'll carry, be the mother of your dreams
                   Am                           C
but to them you'll always be a faggot just like me


♫ Bridge:

♫ Verse 3:

Em
you can't take anything else from me
               A
cause I've got nothing left but sympathy, pity
        G               D             C
and the restless lonely energy of the freedom you gave me

            G
I'll put my best face forward
                    A
but you know what a wreck I can be
                      C
I'm always getting in over my head
                        G
but never saying what I need

G                                        A
so I'll throw away this dead bouquet and bury it in my bones
        C                               G
but I'm still not sure what to tell Simone
