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