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

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

"Hey man, I'm sick of trying to track you down all the time...
G#m F# E C#m
Get back to me... or I'm done. Alright?"
[Chorus]
E
You can tell me that it’s not my fault

Sleep all day, wide awake when the night falls
E
And I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
G#m B/D#
Just be yourself, the fuck is that supposed to mean?
E
Told you that I’d stay in touch
G#m B/D#
