[Intro]
Bm
(over drums)
[Verse 1]
Bm                                  D
    Learn your lessons while you’re young, they said

Bm                               D
    Learn your lessons while you still got time to make mistakes, and

Bm                           D
    True this life is just a game made up by fools

        A*
You can play by all their rules

    G*                  F#*            Bm
And still you’re always racing just to start

                            D
Learn your lesson, you’re a smart girl (smart girl)

Bm                                    D
     You’ve been blessed with all the intellect you’ll ever need

Bm                           D
     True what they say, but what good will it do?

      A                                 G
I can play by all their rules and after all

      F#
After all
[Pre-Chorus]
          Bm              G
And after all I’m just so    tired

       Bm                 G
I’m so tired that I feel     weak

       Bm                 G
And my bones are aching,     overgrown

     F#
Like weeds inside a garden,

                          F#7             Bm
I’m just grasping at what makes me feel alive
[Chorus]
  D
Ohhh

                    Bm      G
What makes me feel alive, ohhh

                     Bm     G
What makes me feel alive, ohhh

F#             Bm
Make me feel alive
[Verse 2]
Bm                                D
    This so-called lesson it’s on repeat (repeat)

Bm                        D
    Here I go again, it’s cyclical, I’m sick of me, and

Bm                        D
    Sitting with a mix of nausea and ennui

   A*
I suppose it’s what you see

            G*
Or what you make of it

   F#*           Bm
Or whatever they said

                          D
Come on, stupid, you’re a smart girl (smart girl)

Bm                                  D
    And all the smart girls and the pretty girls they get ahead

Bm                             D
    Or get in line, though I’m not sure what that means

              A                          G
Or if there’s something in between after all

      F#
After all
[Pre-Chorus]
          Bm              G
And after all I’m just so    tired

       Bm                 G
I’m so tired that I feel     weak

       Bm                 G
And my bones are aching,     overgrown

     F#
Like weeds inside a garden,

                          F#7             Bm
I’m just grasping at what makes me feel alive
[Double Chorus]
  D
Ohhh

                    Bm      G
What makes me feel alive, ohhh

                     Bm     G
What makes me feel alive, ohhh

F#             Bm
Make me feel alive

  D
Ohhh

  Bm     G
Alive

  Bm     G
Alive

F#*
Make me feel
[Violin Solo over Verse] Bm D Bm D Bm D A G F# Bm D Bm D Bm D A G F# [Pre-Chorus]

I’m so tired that I feel     weak

       Bm                 G
And my bones are aching,     overgrown

I’m just grasping at what makes me feel alive
