Verse 1:
C                               F
 I think my hair stopped growin', is that even a thing?
C                           F
 Haven't lost any other, but somethin' ain't the same
Am                     G                      C
  Maybe it's a metaphor, is it even that deep?
F
 I think my hair stopped growin', or is it me?
C                                  F
 I called Phil a couple times, he's probably sick of me
C                         F
 He said, "Go easy on yourself," but what does that even mean?
Am                            G           C F
  Sounds like good advice, but I just can't hear it right now

Chorus:
              C                        F
Hit me like a gut punch, I hurt my own feelings
                 Am                      G
How did I get so good at being mean to myself?
                  C                         F
I should turn the heat down, tell myself to chill out
               Am                       G
Damn, I really hate the way I talk to myself


Post-Chorus:
              C F Am G
Hit me like a

Hit me like a


Verse 2:
C
 When the hell did I start trying to be perfect?
F
 And people-pleasing, is it ever really worth it?
Am
  Fake-smiling just to pass the time
G
 It's the only way I've been getting by
C                                  F
 Looked at myself and I can't even recognize
           Am                          G
Who I am behind those eyes, one big disguise


Chorus:
              C                        F
Hit me like a gut punch, I hurt my own feelings
                 Am                      G
How did I get so good at being mean to myself?
                  C                         F
I should turn the heat down, tell myself to chill out
               Am                       G
Damn, I really hate the way I talk to myself


Post-Chorus:

Hit me like a


Bridge:
Am                      G                          F                                                G
  Now, what would it be like if I just tried being nice

To the person that I'm seeing in the mirror? Yeah
Am                       G
  If you find that inner child
                       F
Haven't seen him for a while

Let him know he's doing fine


Chorus:
              C                        F
Hit me like a gut punch, I hurt my own feelings
                 Am                      G
How did I get so good at being mean to myself?
                  C                         F
I should turn the heat down, tell myself to chill out
               Am                       G
Damn, I really hate the way I talk to myself


Post-Chorus:
             C
Hit me like a
F              Am    G
 Yeah-yeah, oh-oh, yeah
              C        F
Hit me like a gut punch
      Am   G
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
