Chords

[Intro] F# E F# E F# (slide from E to F#) F# E D# C# [Verse]
F#
I love you, I hate you, I'm on the fence, it all depends

F#
Whether I'm up or down, I'm on the mend, transcending all reality

F#
I like you, despise you, admire you

F#
What are we gonna do when everything all falls through?

F#
I must confess, I've made a mess of what should be a small success

F#
But I digress, at least I've tried my very best, I guess

F#
This, that, the other, why even bother?

F#     F#    E   D#     C#
It won't be with me on my deathbed, but I'll still be in your head
[Chorus]
F#                            A         B                 F#    A      B
Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you

F#                         A          B                 F#    A      B
Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you

F#                               A                  B       F#    A      B
Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey

F#                         A       B              A#m7
I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
F# F# E D# C# [Verse 2]
F#
It's scratched and drifting, I've become attached to the idea

F#
It's all a shifting dream, bittersweet philosophy

F#
I've got no idea how I even got here

F#
I'm resentful, I'm having an existential time crisis

F#
Want bliss, daylight savings won't fix this mess

F#
Under-worked and over-sexed, I must express my disinterest

F#       F#    E   D#     C#
The rats are back inside my head, what would Freud have said?
[Chorus]
F#                            A         B                 F#    A      B
Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you

Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you

F#                               A                  B       F#    A      B
Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey

F#                         A       B              A#m7
I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
F# F# E D# C# [Verse 3]
F#
I wanna wash out my head with turpentine, cyanide

F#
I decide this internal diatribe

F#
When I try to catch you right, I hate seeing you cry

F#
In the kitchen, I don't know why it affects me like this

F#
When you're not even mine to consider

F#
Erroneous, harmonious, I'm hardly sanctimonious

F#
Dirty clothes, I suppose we all outgrow ourselves

F#
I'm a fake, I'm a phony, I'm awake, I'm alone

F#
I'm homely, I'm a Scorpio
[Chorus]
F#                            A         B                 F#    A      B

Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey

F#                         A       B              A#m7
I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
