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