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