[Verse 1]
           G                                Em
Here's the thing, I can't do anything right

         G                        Em
Try as I absolutely, totally might

              B7           Em          B7
The bones are melting, the skeleton is ash

    Em         Am         D7           Am             D7
The clavicle detaches and falls with a deafening crash
[Refrain]
        G
And I'm not your protagonist

    B7
I'm not even my own

             Em
I don't know anything

                  C
I don't even know what I don't know
[Chorus]
           Am                     G
And if you look outside you'll see

  D7                Em
Disintegrating trees

        Am             D7
The artificial way the sunlight bounces

G       D7   G
Off the waxy leaves

         C                     D7
My heart catches on every thorn

               G       G7      Em
You're already halfway out the door

         Am                 D7
And I've never looked so old

           G     G7      Em
And I have never been so cold

          Am
And it is 85 degrees
A° I don't know what I need [Interlude] G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7 [Verse 2]
                 G                           Em
There's lukewarm herbal mango sweet hibiscus tea

           G                               Em
On the hot garbage pile in which I fucking sleep

              B7            Em
The walls are empty it's so ugly I could

B7                       Em
Burn the whole place down

            Am                   D7
It wouldn't catch 'cause all the posters

             Am                D7
Are on their way to my hometown
[Refrain]
        G
And I'm not your protagonist

    B7
I'm not even my own

             Em
I don't know anything

                  C
I don't even know what I don't know
[Chorus]
           Am                     G
And if you look outside you'll see

  D7                Em
Disintegrating trees

        Am             D7
The artificial way the sunlight bounces

G       D7        G
Off the glitching leaves

             C                     D7
My wet heart catches on every thorn

               G       G7      Em
You're already halfway out the door

           Am             D7
And I'm so tiny and so old

               G     G7      Em
And, God, it's never been so cold

          Am
And it is 85 degrees
I don't know what I need [Outro] G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7 D G
