Chords

[Intro] C G Em D C G Em D C G [Verse 1]
Em                   D             C
I'm caught up in the everyday trend

             G
Tied up by invisible thread

Em             D
Walking down a razor-thin edge

      C                        G
And I wake up tired, think I'm better off dead

Em                        D                  C
Been a few months since I crossed over state lines

                            G
Talk to my mom, fake smiles over FaceTime

Em                     D                        C
Drink all night till I can't walk in a straight line

                    G
Feel so low but I'm high at the same time
[Pre-Chorus]
G               Bm          C
I can't keep my feet on the ground

        G                   Bm          C
And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now

    G               Bm         C
I'm hoping that someone comes around

         D         Em  Bm C
Helps me figure it out
[Chorus]
  Em                  D              C   G
I think that I should try to kill my ego

       Em             D              C   G
'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me

    Em               D
I'm all grown up but somehow lately

    C             G
I'm acting like a fucking baby

    Em            D          C    G
I'm really not as happy as I seem
[Verse 2]
Em
Still a little kid that can't make friends

C                             D
Wanna be invited, but I won't attend

          Em
I've been having bad dreams my career could end

         C                               D
'Cause I slip up when I should've played pretend

Em                    D
Turned eighteen and I left the city

         C                      G
Said, "I wanna be cool, I don't wanna be pretty"

    Em              D
The voices all came crashing down

           C                  G
And said, "You're too nice to run this town"
[Pre-Chorus]
G               Bm          C
I can't keep my feet on the ground

        G                   Bm          C
And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now

    G               Bm         C
I'm hoping that someone comes around

         D         Em  Bm C
Helps me figure it out
[Chorus]

I think that I should try to kill my ego

    Em            D          C
I'm really not as happy as I seem

G               Em    D C
Nothing's as it seems

G               Em    D C G
Nothing's as it seems

        Em               D
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately

    C             G
I'm acting like a fucking baby

    Em              D           C  G
I'm really not that happy being me
[Bridge]
C
I don't like the lie I'm living

    D
I'm way too nice and too forgiving

  Em
I wanna go back to the beginning

                       D
When it all felt right

  C
A rooftop, Lower East Side, I'm singing

D
Didn't give a fuck if I was winning

     Em
It's all done now, who am I kidding?
N.C. I'm doing way worse than I'm admitting [Chorus]
  Em                  D              C   G
I think that I should try to kill my ego

       Em             D              C   G
'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me

    Em               D
I'm all grown up but somehow lately

    C             G
I'm acting like a fucking baby

    Em            D          C
I'm really not as happy as I seem

G               Em    D C
Nothing's as it seems

G               Em    D C G
Nothing's as it seems

        Em               D
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately

    C             G
I'm acting like a fucking baby

    Em              D           C
I'm really not that happy being me
