Version 1 Version 2
[Verse 1]
F Dm
Here's the thing: I can't do anything right
F Dm
Try as I absolutely totally might
A7 Dm A7
The bones are melting, the skeleton is ash
Dm Bb C7 Bb C7
The clavicle detaches and falls with a deafening crash
[Chorus]
F
And I'm not your protagonist
A7
I'm not even my own
Dm
I don't know anything
C7
I don't even know what I don't know
[Bridge]
Gm C7
And if you look outside you’ll see
F Dm
disintegrating trees
Bb C7 F C7 F
The artificial way the sunlight bounces off the waxy leaves
Gm C7
My heart catches on every thorn
F C/E Dm
You’re already halfway out the door
Bb C7
And I’ve never looked so old
F Dm
And I have never been so cold
Bb
And it is 85 degrees
A7
I don’t know what I need
[Instrumental]
F A7 Bb Bbm
F A7 Bb Bbm C
[Verse 2]
F Dm
There’s lukewarm herbal mango sweet hibiscus tea
F Dm D
On the hot garbage pile in which I fucking sleep
A7 Dm
The walls are empty, it’s so ugly
A7 Dm
I could burn the whole place down
Bb C7
It wouldn’t catch ‘cause all the posters
Bb C7
are on their way to my hometown
[Chorus]
F
And I'm not your protagonist
A7
I'm not even my own
Dm
I don't know anything
C7
I don't even know what I don't know
[Bridge]
Gm C7
And if you look outside you’ll see
F Dm
disintegrating trees
Bb C7 F C7 F
The artificial way the sunlight bounces off the glitching leaves
Gm C7
My wet heart catches on every thorn
F C/E Dm
You’re already halfway out the door
Bb C7
And I’m so tiny and so old
F Dm
And God it’s never been so cold
Bb
And it is 85 degrees
A7
I don’t know what I need
[Outro]
