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