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