[Verse 1]
E F#m E B
Sixteen years looking up at the blackboard
C#m E F#m E B
I don't even know how to read
C#m E F#m E B C#m
I got pills to make the hamster wheels turn faster
E F#m E B
But the monkey's in the driver's seat
[Pre-chorus]
C#m E F#m E B C#m
And now I tear myself apart about everything at once
E F#m E B
I miss my good old lack of self esteem
C#m E F#m E B C#m
You can take out the wax and tie me to the mast
E F#m E B
I gotta hear the sirens scream
G#
Don't listen to me
A
I just need a good night's sleep
[Chorus]
B E
And you keep me up all night
B E B
Can't talk right
E A
I'm falling into my clothes
B E
And even though I'm feeling like death
B E B
I can't be upset
E A
'Cause I finally know
F#m B G#m C#m
F#m B A
[Verse 2]
E F#m E B
You can document the teenage wildlife
C#m E F#m E B
Psychoanalyze the modern man
C#m E F#m E B
You can classify 'em all by bloodtype
C#m E F#m E B
But you're never gonna understand
[Pre-chorus]
E F#m E B
What if panic were the right reaction
C#m E F#m E B
To the anno domini milieu
C#m E F#m E B
I'm too sleepy for the main distraction
C#m E F#m E B
Downtown lights could never glow like you
G#
I'm going to sleep
[Chorus]
B E
And you keep me up all night
B E B
Can't talk right
E A
I'm falling into my clothes
B E
And even though I'm feeling like death
B E B
I can't be upset
E A
'Cause I finally know
[Post-chorus]
F#m B
I don't want to be an animal (oh no)
G#m C#m
But you're making this hard for me
F#m B
But I don't want to be an animal (oh no)
A
But you don't wanna go
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
B E
And you keep me up all night
B E B
Can't talk right
E A
I'm falling into my clothes
B E
And even though I'm feeling like death
B E B
I can't be upset
E A G A G A
'Cause I finally know
G A G A
'Cause I finally know
G A G A
'Cause I finally know
G A G A
You'll finally know
