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
The bones are melting, the skeleton is ash,
C
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
C
I don't even know what I don't know
Gm Dm
And if you look outside you’ll see disintegrating trees
Bb C F Bb F
The artificial way the sunlight bounces off the waxy leaves
Bb Gm
My heart catches on every thorn
Dm
You’re already halfway out the door
Bb Dm
And I’ve never looked so old
Am Dm
And I have never been so cold
Bb
And it is 85 degrees
A7
I don’t know what I need
[Interlude]
F A7 Dm Gm
F A7 Bb
[Verse 2]
F Dm
There’s lukewarm herbal mango sweet hibiscus tea
F A7 Dm A7 Bb
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
It wouldn’t catch ‘cause all the posters are on their
F Bb F
Way to my hometown
[Chorus]
Bb F
And I'm not your protagonist,
A7
I'm not even my own;
Dm Gm
I don't know anything,
C
I don't even know what I don't know
Gm Dm
And if you look outside you’ll see disintegrating trees,
Bb C F Bb F
The artificial way the sunlight bounces off the glitching leaves
Bb Gm Dm
My wet heart catches on every thorn,
Am Dm
You’re already halfway out the door
Bb Dm
And I’m so tiny and so old
C Dm
And God, it’s never been so cold
Bb
And it is 85 degrees
A7
I don’t know what I need
[Outro]
F A7 Dm Gm
F A7 Bb F
