Sweet Hibiscus Tea chords by Penelope Scott

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
           F
Here's the thing: I can't do anything
Dm
right
              F              Dm
Try as I absolutely totally might
              Am             A7
The bones are melting, the skeleton is 
Dm
ash
       Bb        F
The clavicle detaches and falls with a
    C       F
deafening crash

Chorus:
         F
And I'm not your protagonist
     A7
I'm not even my own
               Bb
I don't know anything
                  Bbm
I don't even know what I don't know
             F
And if you look outside you’ll see
   Dm
disintegrating trees
        Bb
The artificial way the sunlight bounces
 F       C    F
off the waxy leaves
            Bb
My heart catches on every thorn
                  Dm
You’re already halfway out the door
           Bb
And I’ve never looked so old
            Dm
And I have never been so cold
          Bb
And it is 85 degrees
   Bbm
I don’t know what I need


Instrumental Break:
F Dm Bb C
F A7 Bb Bbm


Verse 2:
                    F
There’s lukewarm herbal mango sweet
         Dm
hibiscus tea
              F
On the hot garbage pile in which I
   Dm
fucking sleep
                Am            Dm
The walls are empty, it’s so ugly
         A7                   Dm
I could burn the whole place down
     Bb
It wouldn’t catch ‘cause all the
   F
posters are on their
 Bb          C
Way to my hometown


Chorus:
         F
And I'm not your protagonist
     A7
I'm not even my own
               Bb
I don't know anything
                  Bbm
I don't even know what I don't know
            F
And if you look outside you’ll see
      Dm
disintegrating trees
       Bb
The artificial way the sunlight bounces
 F         C        F
off the glitching leaves
                Bb
My wet heart catches on every thorn
                 Dm
You’re already halfway out the door
            Bb
And I’m so tiny and so old
              Dm
And God it’s never been so cold
          Bb
And it is 85 degrees
  Bbm
I don’t know what I need
