Verse
F#
You can tell me that it’s not my fault
A#m C#/F
Sleep all day, wide awake when the night falls
F#
And I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
A#m C#/F
"Just be yourself", the fuck is that supposed to mean
F#
Told you that I’d stay in touch
A#m C#/F
But things change and these days I don’t get out much
F#
And I’m sorry that I’ve not been there
A#m C#/F
Just things are tough, please don’t tell me I don’t fucking care
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
A#m C#/F F# D#m
It’s not your place to try to change me
A#m C#/F F# D#m
It’s far too late for you to save me
A#m C#/F F# D#m
I’m tired of living in the background
A#m C#/F F# D#m
I wanna leave but I don’t know how
[Verse 2]
A#m
I’m fading out slowly
G#
The city’s so lonely
F# D#m
Tell you I’m fine, push it aside
You think that you know me
A#m
I know I’m complacent
G#
You’ll find a replacement
F# D#m
If you need anything, I’ll be wasting away in the basement

A#m G# F# D#m
Get back to me... or I'm done. Alright?"
[Chorus]
F#
You can tell me that it’s not my fault

And I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
