Intro:
C majorC G+G
Tonight, my mother said that I
Bb majorBb
Should never go outside

That I should run and hide

Donate my brains to charity
A augmentedA one, two, three
Verse 1:
C majorC G+G
So, I'm lost in the supermarket shopping for my sense of self
Bb majorBb
I wandered down the aisles tryna figure out where I disappeared to
FF
What will I adhere to? And what could I appear to be?
C majorC
And maybe I'm with the strawberries, alone on the shelf
G+G
Because they breathe and bleed, and they're sweet like me
Bb majorBb
They hold my hand and they make it seem that right now
FF
In this moment, I don't need to be afraid
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
Tonight, my mother said that I
Bb majorBb
Should never go outside
FF
That I should run and hide
G#G# C majorC

C majorC G+G
I, I'd rather go blind
Bb majorBb
Than to look into your eyes
FF
And tell you that I lied
G#G# C majorC
Donate my brains to charity
Verse 2:
C majorC
So I made myself sad ‘cause I feel comfortable here
G+G
So I made myself mad because I don't want to steer
Bb majorBb
To be off the rails is to live without fear
FF
But when you start feeling nothing, nothing becomes clear
C majorC
So, please speak, please laugh, please dance, please cry
G+G
Feel every fuckin' tear that falls from your eye
Bb majorBb
‘Cause to feel is to breathe and to fear is to be free
FF
And to be free is what it means to be successful to me

C majorC G+G
Tonight, my mother said that I
Bb majorBb
Should never go outside

Post-Chorus:
C majorC G+G
And now, here alone
Bb majorBb
That I put into my phone
FF
Love, I'm never coming home
G#G# C majorC
Donate my brains to charity
C majorC G+G
I just feel that I'm not real
Bb majorBb
I put my hands on the steering wheel

Donate my brains to charity
