     G              D#
Your ritual everyday

       G              C#   D#    A 
A mild shower soak in aftershave

G                       D#
Best clothes do your best

A           G      C#  D#
Look in the mirror go on

  A          G        C#       D#
Belittle yourself yourself yourself

  A          G        C#       D#  A
Belittle yourself yourself yourself
[Chorus]
C             C#        F
You go on day after day

         C#
Dreaming on a lie

         C    G
That you keep locked inside

       F C#
Of yourself

    F#

[Interlude] G D# A G D# A G [Verse 2]
G       C#       D#        
Can you sleep tonight

               G                    D# A
Cast aside for some pouting young pup

G           C#          D#
Sink into a slurred veneer

          G         D#
Alcoholic haze so now

A             G        C#       D#
Least you can like yourself yourself

Least you can like yourself yourself
[Chorus]
C             C#        F
You go on day after day

     C#
Reservoirs of guilt

          C
That your fixed grin always hides

        F C#
And yourself

    F#
Yourself

[Guitar Solo] D A# C G D A# C G G# A# G# D [Verse 3]
G
You look at ads all day

G
Everyone is perfect and you're so lame

G
Free scent burns your skin

D#     A         G      C#      D#
But no smell can really cover sin

A        G       C#       D#   
Too many teenage holes to fill

A        G       C#       D#   A 
Too many teenage holes to fill
[Chorus]
C             C#        F
You go on day after day

         C#
Speak to your despised

C
Blanking your loved ones

        F C#
And yourself

    C
Yourself

    F C#
Yourself

        C
And yourself

    F C#
Yourself

    C

        F C#
