Since this version isn't exactly like the original song, here's the acoustic version that inspired the tab: [Intro] C G E F x2 [Verse 1]
C               G
I'm a dumb teen boy

      E                F
I eat sticks and rocks and mud

        C              G
I don't care about the government

      E            F
And I really need a hug

       C
I feel stupid (stupid)

G
Ugly (ugly)

    E             F
Pretend it doesn't bother me

    C        G
I'm not very strong but

     E                            F
I'll fuck you up if you're mean to bugs
C G E F x4 [Verse 2]
C            G              E             F
It's getting cold down here underneath the weather

          C            G
I skipped class to sit with you

         E               F
I really like your spotty sweater

   C            G
If ladybugs are girls

       E            F
How do you make kids together?

          C                G
What's it like in a female world

           E           F
I bet it's just so much better
[Pre-Chorus]
D
I just turned fourteen

F
And I think this year I'm gonna be mean
[Chorus]
C     E                    F                  G
Don't mess with me 'cause a big boy now and I'm very scary

C E                   F                   G
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

C     Em                F                    G
Don't message me cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

C                  Em                       F
Ain't that how its s'posed to be? Though it isn't me

     G
Boys will be bugs right?
C Em F G x2 [Verse 3]
C               G
I'm a dumb teen boy

      E          F
All I wanna do is quit

       C                  G
My mum told me that she's worried

      E              F
And I couldn't give a shit

       C                G
I have friends who understand me

      E                F
Their names are spider, beetle, bee

     C         G
They don't say much but

E               F
They have always listened to me
C G E F [Verse 4]
    C             G
The other boys at school

           E                F
Think it's cool to hate your parents

            C             G
But they're lying all the time

         E                    F
The bugs advised that I should let 'em

    C            G
And if you wanna cry

          E              F
Make sure that they never see it

   C           G
Or even better yet

         E            F
Block it out and never feel it
[Pre-Chorus]
D
I just turned fourteen

F
And I think I know everything

Don't mess with me 'cause a big boy now and I'm very scary

C E                   F                   G
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate

C     Em                F                    G
Don't message me cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry

C                  Em                       F
Ain't that how its s'posed to be? Though it isn't me
