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