Version 1 Version 2
[Verse 1]
Bb Gm Cm F
I come from scientists and atheists and white men who kill God
Bb Gm Cm F
They make technology high quality, complex, physiological
Bb Gm Cm F
Experiments and sacrilege in the name of public good
Eb F Bb
They taught me everything, just like a daddy should
[Verse 2]
Bb Gm Cm F
And you were beautiful and vulnerable and power and success
Bb Gm Cm F
God damn, I fell for you, your flamethrowers, your tunnels, and your tech
Eb F D7 Gm
I studied code because I wanted to do something great like you
Eb F Bb
And the real tragеdy is half of it was true
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb Bb D Gm
But we've been fuckin' mеan, we're elitist, we're as flawed as any church
Cm Bb D Gm
And this faux-rad West coast dogma has a higher fuckin' net worth
Cm F
I bit the apple 'cause I trusted you
D Gm
It tastes like Thomas Malthus
Eb F Bb Gm
Your proposal is immodest and insane
Cm F Bb
And I hope someday Selmers rides her fuckin' train
[Chorus]
Eb Bb D Gm
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true
Eb Bb D Gm
I wanted to be you and do what you do
Eb Bb D7 Gm
I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true
Cm F Bb Gm
I feel so stupid, and so used
Cm F Bb
I feel so used
[Verse 3]
Bb Gm Cm F
I was your baby, your first born, the hot girl in your comp-sci class
Bb Gm Cm F
And I was Darwin's prep school dream bred born and raised to kick your ass
Bb Gm Cm F
I fell for circuit boards, rocket ships, pictures of the stars
Eb F Bb
If you could only be what you pretend you are
[Verse 4]
Bb Gm Cm F
When I said take me to the moon I never meant take me alone
Bb Gm Cm F
I thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could go
Eb F D7 Gm
But I don't want to see the stars if they're just one more piece of land
Eb F Bb
For us to colonize, for us to turn to sand
[Bridge 2]
Eb Bb D Gm
But we've been fuckin' mеan, we're elitist, we're as fucked as any church
Eb Bb D Gm
And this bullshit West coast dogma has a higher fuckin' net worth
Cm F D G
I bit the apple 'cause I loved you, and why would you lie?
Eb F Bb Gm
And then I realized that you're just as naïve as I am
Cm F Bb
Oh, you're so traumatized it makes me want to cry
N.C.
You dumb bitch
[Chorus]
Eb Bb D Gm
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true
Eb Bb D Gm
I wanted to be you and do what you do
Eb Bb D7 Gm
I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it's true
Cm F Bb
I'm so embarrassed, I feel abused
[Verse 5]
Bb Gm Cm F
Well I don't want to eat the rich, I'd have to eat my heroes first
Bb Gm Cm F
And my tuition's paid by blood, I might deserve your fate or worse
Bb Gm Cm F
But I don't need your god damn money, I don't need jack shit from you
Eb F Bb
So when I speak, you bet your life my words are true
[Verse 6]
Bb Gm Cm F
Let me level with you man, as someone guilty of the game
Bb Gm Cm F
I took the help, I took the cash, I would've taken your last name
Eb F D7 Gm
So if any girl on Earth should get to make a call about this,
Eb F Bb
It should be me, and as I see it, you're a dick
[Bridge 3]
Eb Bb D Gm
So fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your cars again
Cm Bb D7 Gm
You promised you'd be Tesla, but you're just another Edison
Eb F D7 Gm
'Cause Tesla broke a patent, all you ever broke were hearts
Cm F Bb
I can't believe you tore humanity apart
Gm Eb F Bb
With the very same machines that could have been our brand new start
N.C.
And the worst part is
[Chorus]
Eb Bb D Gm
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true
Eb Bb D Gm
And sometimes I feel like I still fuckin' do
Eb Bb D Gm
I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it's true
Cm F Bb
I'm so embarrassed, I feel abused
Cm F Bb Gm
I feel so used
Cm F Bb Gm
I feel so used
Cm F D7 Gm
Take me to the moon
Cm F Bb Gm
Cuz' I feel so used
Cm F Bb
I feel so used
