[Intro] Am E C Dm F E Am x2 [Verse 1]
  Am                  E
I trip through yesterday

     C               Dm
I'll sleep this one away

     F               E            Am
I'll spend my summer only getting high

Am                E
Every year's the same

  C          Dm
I revel in my shame

    F               E              Am
I'm wishing that we never said goodbye
[Pre-Chorus 1]
      C                     E
And I know, you're a weirdo kid

    C                        E
And no-o-o, look at what you did to me

      F           G      Am
And I can't trust my feelings, they will deceive

     F      G
I am malfunctioning

     C            F
It's safer if you go

               E
So we'll never know
[Chorus 1] (Honestly not 100% sure on this part, but it sounds good to me, simplify if needed though)
Am   Dm   C    F    C F E
Come down from your pedestal

Am Dm C   F  C    F  E
I  am not in full control

Am  Dm  C    F  C  F   E
You can have my filthy soul

   Am   Dm  C  F  C   F    E
Is that enough to pay your toll?
[Verse 2]
     Am              E
Everything I am is wrong

    C              Dm
I'm not where I belong

    F                E              Am
And soon I'll open portals to my own kind

                     Am             E
But I'm in love with everything you are

      C               Dm
I'm a worm, you'rе a star

      F             E               Am
But tomorrow I will surely change my mind
[Pre-Chorus 2]
      C                  E
And I know, I'm a weirdo kid

    C                          E
And oh, oh, oh, look at what I did to mе

    F       G
And I don't blame you

Am
I have trouble living with me too

F       G         C        F
 I will lose everyone eventually

          E
Including me
[Chorus 2]
Am  Dm    C   F    C F     E
Why don't you just release me

  Am Dm   C  F  C    F E
I worship in my self pity

Am   Dm   C    F    C F E
Come down from your pedestal

Am Dm C   F  C    F  E
I  am not in full control
[Interlude]
        Am                 F
So I'll light my brightest fire

     Dm                E
I'll drop just one or two

     Am                F
I'll burn through my desire

               Dm            E
To where there is no me and you

E
Ah, Ah, Ah

    Am
And wow
[Verse 3]
      Am
I was dreaming

         Dm
Or I was dead

           E
I was in a ballroom

                               Am
I've never seen such shades of red

       Am
In the center, on a rug

            Dm
There was a bed

         E                                   Am
From within it's sheets and pillows, black it bled

      Am
I was changing as I floated

       Dm
To the blankets that were dripping goo

    E                         Am
And everyone I ever knew, was there

    Am
And animals with human hands

  Dm
Unspoken things from ancient lands

  E                                    Am
Selected those to strip, and bite, and tear

    Am
And oh, the people said, we're doomed

    Dm
The beasts would fuck, and then consume

   E                             Am
As I lay in the blackness of the sheets

      Am
Their suffering was sweet

            Dm
Compared to all the pain that one must bear

   E                                 Am
In life when we would rot in bags of meat

         Am
I was an abomination

           Dm
I wasn't a man anymore

E
I was the darkness
I was alone
    Am
And I, alone was the whore

          Am                      Dm
It was magnificent, and I only consumed

E
I am the bride, I am the groom
This is my party, here in the ballroom [Outro] Am Dm E Am
Am  Dm  E
(Na, Na, Na's)

Am
This is my party, here in the ballroom
Am Dm E Am
Am  Dm  E
(Woah, Woah, Woahs)

Am
This is my party, here in the ballroom
