[Verse 1]
D                  Bm        E     A
They put me on the map at an early age

G6              A         Bm      E
And I knew this world was mine to save

              A     F#m        Bm
And I love it here, I hate to say it

G                A    D
I'm your perfect 2000 baby

D           Bm    E           A
Split me up along demographic lines

G6                     A     Bm     E
But you can't take the stars out of my eyes

         A        F#m    Bm
Im sick, radical, pathologized

G                A   D
I'm your perfect Y2K baby
[Chorus]
E                       A
I'm an archetype, I'm a scam

D                                Bm
I'm a religion, I'm the folly of man

                E                      A
Stamp me with a barcode, put me on the news

G          A        D
So crazy I could be true
[Verse 2]
D                Bm      E     A
Deeply deranged, unprecedented times

G6                A        Bm    E
And I can't quite leave my guilt behind

          A       F#m            Bm
But we're dancing anyway, that's alright

             G               A       D
These things work themselves out sometimes

              Bm        E   A
I take off my shoes for the TSA

G6                    A            Bm     E
And I stuff my second shoe with my second brain

      A             F#m       Bm
And I saturate with levels of contamination

        G     A             D
But I'm still gonna make my flight
[Chorus]
E                     A
I'm delusional, I'm a dream

D                       Bm
I'm the future, I'm the scheme

              E                   A
Underneath it all, I'm somebody's child

      G              A         D
Gotta remember every once in a while
[Verse 3]
D             Bm           E     A
I'm very well suited to my crazy conditions

G6                   Bm          E        E7
From my microplastic blood to my dopamine deficiency

A        F#m        Bm        B7
The web, the bleed, the flow, the lines,

G7         A     D
I'm a hero of my time

          Bm                 E      A
I live in symbols, I breathe poison air

G6                  A             Bm      E
I can still fall in love when the world's unfair

      A             F#m         Bm               B7
And I can't fucking read, but I read between the lines

      G7   A     D
I'm a sign of my times
[Chorus]
E                           A
I'm an embarrassment, I'm a joke

D                          Bm
I'm the hit that makes you choke

      E                A
I'm a head rush, I'm a lamb

           G          Fm     Bm
You're not quite sure what I am

E         A     D    G
Unimpressed and unsurprised

A            Bm
Rude and oversocialized

E                           A
They're rooting for us, for what it's worth

C         A             D
So crazy, it just might work
[Verse 4]
D               Bm             E         A
I melt into the network, and I touch the cloud

        G6            Bm            E                 E7
I wanna overthrow the government, I can't get off the couch

  A    F#m             Bm      B7
I miss technology that I never had

         G7    A         D
I'm your sweet nostalgic girl

  Bm                          E          A
I send my little memes, and I play on my devices

G6           A       Bm           E
Visions of a unified design in my mind

       A             F#m            Bm           B7
And to see it, is to sort it, is to split it all apart

         G7    A         D
I'm your sweet nostalgic girl
[Chorus]
E                    A
I'm a promise, I'm a slog

  D                     Bm
A spoiled brat, an underdog

          E                A
Give me a computer, let me run

    G            A         D
God forbid these kids have fun
[Verse 5]
D     Bm            E     A
I was born, and the stars aligned

      G6      Bm           E    E7
And I fell in love with my only life

A              F#m          Bm       B7
I'm ashamed to say that I'm right on time

    G7   A    D
I'm your 2000 baby

Bm         E          A
Lower your voice and look around

G6          A          Bm  E
What do you think it's all about?

A          F#m           Bm        B7
Maybe it's okay to never figure it out

     G7        A         D
Just keep your head out, baby
[Bridge]
E                       A
Death of the narrative, birth of the hive

D                           Bm        E
Dillions of nodes, and then one great mind

                            A
Can you make your home in a rising tide?

        G        A           D
Can you laugh as hard as you cry?
[Chorus]
E                       A
I'm an archetype, I'm a scam

      D                          Bm
I'm a religion, I'm the folly of man

                E                       A
Stamp me with a barcode, send me to the moon

       G        A        D
I'm so crazy, I could be true
