Chords

[Verse 1]
           F                           Dm
Here's the thing: I can't do anything right

             F              Dm
Try as I absolutely totally might

              A7             Dm       A7
The bones are melting, the skeleton is ash

       Dm        Bb        C7          Bb        C7
The clavicle detaches and falls with a deafening crash
[Chorus]
         F
And I'm not your protagonist

     A7
I'm not even my own

               Dm
I don't know anything

                  C7
I don't even know what I don't know
[Bridge]
             Gm                C7
And if you look outside you'll see

   F           Dm
disintegrating trees

        Bb               C7              F       C7   F
The artificial way the sunlight bounces off the waxy leaves

            Gm               C7
My heart catches on every thorn

               F        C/E     Dm
You're already halfway out the door

           Bb             C7
And I've never looked so old

            F             Dm
And I have never been so cold

          Bb
And it is 85 degrees

   Bbm
I don't know what I need
[Instrumental] F A7 Bb Bbm F A7 Bb Bbm C [Verse 2]
                    F                       Dm
There's lukewarm herbal mango sweet hibiscus tea

              F                             Dm    D
On the hot garbage pile in which I fucking sleep

                A7            Dm
The walls are empty, it's so ugly

         A7                   Dm
I could burn the whole place down

     Bb                           C7
It wouldn't catch 'cause all the posters 

             Bb            C7
are on their way to my hometown
[Chorus]
         F
And I'm not your protagonist

     A7
I'm not even my own

               Dm
I don't know anything

                  C7
I don't even know what I don't know
[Bridge]
             Gm                C7
And if you look outside you'll see

   F           Dm
disintegrating trees

        Bb               C7              F       C7        F
The artificial way the sunlight bounces off the glitching leaves

                Gm             C7
My wet heart catches on every thorn

               F        C/E     Dm
You're already halfway out the door

            Bb          C7
And I'm so tiny and so old

             F             Dm
And God it's never been so cold

          Bb
And it is 85 degrees

  Bbm
I don't know what I need
[Outro] F A7 Bb Bbm F A7 Bb Bbm F
