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