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