Aadd9        E                H
I have this thing where I get older,
         C#madd9
Hut just never wiser.
Aadd9        E           H      C#m7
Midnights become my afternoons.
Aadd9      E
When my depression works
    H                   C#madd9
The graveyard shift all of the people,
Amaj9        E                  H    C#m7
I’ve ghosted stand there in the room.

  Aadd9              E           H
I should not be left to my own devices,
          C#m7            Aadd9
They come with prices and vices.
      E
I end up in crisis.
 H              C#m7
(Tale as old as time.)

Aadd9     E                  H
I wake up screaming from dreaming.
             C#m7               Aadd9
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
               E               H
‘Cause you got tired of my scheming.
              C#m7
(For the last time.)

Chorus:
          Amaj9
     It’s me.
     E
     Hi.
     H                     C#m7
     I’m the problem, it’s me.
        Amaj9
     At tea
     E    H          C#m7
     Time everybody agrees.
   Amaj9          E             H
     I’ll stare directly at the sun,
               C#m7
     Hut never in the mirror.
     Amaj9        E
     It must be exhausting
            H               C#m7
     Always rooting for the anti-hero.

Aadd9       E              H
Sometimes I feel like everybody
     C#madd9
Is a sexy baby
Aadd9     E              H     C#m7
And I’m a monster on the hill,
Aadd9      E
Too big to hang out,
       H
Slowly lurching
            C#madd9
Toward your favorite city,
Aadd9               E
Pierced through the heart,
          H       C#m7
Hut never killed.

Aadd9        E            H
Did you hear my covert narcissism,
  C#m7          Aadd9
I disguise as altruism
     E               H
Like some kind of congressman?
                C#m7
(Tale as old as time.)

Aadd9     E              H
I wake up screaming from dreaming.
             C#m7               Amaj9
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
              E               H
And life will lose all its meaning.
