Verse 1:
    C
So sick of being lonely, do you want to get to know me?
C
I'm a zero, I'm a weirdo, I'm a struggling superhero
          Am
But I'm a star in outer space
       G                             F
Ask an alien and they'll say I'm the real deal
            C
Found each other in our worst ways, everything was going, gone
        C
All the drugs we took for breakfast couldn't convince us nothing's wrong
        Am
Do you ever feel like nothing's real
          G                                 F
Like The Truman Show or something way more miserable?

Pre-Chorus:
      G                                  F
If we tell each other secrets, even the dark parts that don't glow
       G                 F
Maybe life could feel a little less alone
 
Chorus:
       F     G    Am                C     G     F
We may never stand a chance, but we still gotta try
F               G  Am      C              G  F
No one's coming to save us from ourselves tonight
       F  G Am

Verse 2:
       C
I felt sinister on the sidewalk, intrusive thoughts abound
C
I kind of felt like jumping into traffic downtown
       Am                    G
It all blurs together and it barely makes sense
        F
We were sixteen once, we will never be again
         C
How you listened, oh my God
         C
What a spiritual awakening
     C
I listened, oh my God
       C N.C.
To the genius you're self-training
Am               G            F
Maybe things can never be the same and that's okay
 
Pre-Chorus:
      G                                  F
If we tell each other secrets, even the dark parts that don't glow
       G                 F
Maybe life could feel a little less alone
 
Chorus:
       F     G    Am                C     G     F
We may never stand a chance, but we still gotta try
F               G  Am      C              G  F
No one's coming to save us from ourselves tonight

Bridge:
Am             C                 F
Chalk it up to fate or whatever, Blame it on a higher power
Am       C          F
For this chance encounter
Am                C                 F
Maybe the right stars have aligned, we've crossed into a parallel life
Am          E        F
From this chance encounter
 
Chorus:
       F     G    Am                C     G     F
We may never stand a chance, but we still gotta try
F               G  Am      C              G  F
No one's coming to save us from ourselves tonight
