Verse 1:
           G                                Em
Here's the thing, I can't do anything right
         G                        Em
Try as I absolutely, totally might
              B7           Em          B7
The bones are melting, the skeleton is ash
    Em         Am         D7           Am             D7
The clavicle detaches and falls with a deafening crash

Refrain:
        G
And I'm not your protagonist
    B7
I'm not even my own
             Em
I don't know anything
                  C
I don't even know what I don't know
Chorus:
           Am                     G
And if you look outside you'll see
  D7                Em
Disintegrating trees
        Am             D7
The artificial way the sunlight bounces
G       D7   G
Off the waxy leaves
         C                     D7
My heart catches on every thorn
               G                   Em
You're already halfway out the door
         Am                 D7
And I've never looked so old
           G                 Em
And I have never been so cold
          Am
And it is 85 degrees
  AΒ°
I don't know what I need

Interlude:
G Em Am D7
G Em Am D7

Verse 2:
                 G                           Em
There's lukewarm herbal mango sweet hibiscus tea
           G                               Em
On the hot garbage pile in which I fucking sleep
              B7            Em
The walls are empty it's so ugly I could
B7                       Em
Burn the whole place down
            Am                   D7
It wouldn't catch 'cause all the posters
             Am                D7
Are on their way to my hometown

Refrain:
        G
And I'm not your protagonist
    B7
I'm not even my own
             Em
I don't know anything
                  C
I don't even know what I don't know

Chorus:
           Am                     G
And if you look outside you'll see
  D7                Em
Disintegrating trees
        Am             D7
The artificial way the sunlight bounces
G       D7        G
Off the glitching leaves
             C                     D7
My wet heart catches on every thorn
               G                   Em
You're already halfway out the door
           Am             D7
And I'm so tiny and so old
               G                 Em
And, God, it's never been so cold
          Am
And it is 85 degrees

I don't know what I need

Outro:
G Em Am D7
G Em Am D7 D G
