[Intro]
G   Em   C   D
   G     Em     C   DN.C.
[Verse 1]
My hands are Gshaking,  EmIt’s C3:52 aDm and I am not
GWakingEm,   CUp ever aDgain
At least not until GTuesdayEm,  When my CAmazon package arDrives
Because Gresting is easy but Emsleeping is harder, so Csing the insomniac's Dlullaby
   G     Em     C   DN.C.
[Verse 2]
I like listenin’ to GElliottEm, to get my Chead back in the Dzone
of my isoGlationEm, and Cwhy I like being aDlone
So I'll stay in my GbedroomEm, 'til you Cgive me a reason to Dleave
Or someone to Gvent toEm, 'cause I Cwear my anger Don my sleeve
[Chorus]
And I Cstill don't see Dwhy, I should Emtake off these fucking Gsweatpants
'Cause CI'm doing Dfine, EmLiving the way I Gcurrently am
                        C   DN.C.           G  
Or probably not, But I'm doing the best I can
    Em   C   D
   G     Em     C   DN.C.
[Verse 3]
Used to think I was GspecialEm,  but I'm Cnot and neither are Dyou
And neither is GGodEm, comCpared to everyDthing else going
   G     Em     C   DN.C.
On
I'm not cool or atGtractiveEm,  but CI can still play Dguitar and write all these
GSongsEm,  ACbout how dumb I Dthink we all are
[Verse 4]
And I'm GsorryEm,  that CI can be so Dmean
                         G         Em                    C   DN.C.
I swear one day I won't be,  but until the day I come clean
I'll sit in the GshowerEm,  that's Cwhere you always come Dup
And although we don't GtalkEm,  I Cwish you the best of Dluck
[Verse 5]
There is not enough GsoapEm,  to Cwash my dirty Dhands
Of all the stupid musGiciansEm,  that Ctold me they liked the same Dbands
[Verse 6]
I always will GfallEm,  for the Csame fucking Dguy
In that cool leather GjacketEm,  who'll like to Csmoke cigarettes and get Dhigh
And then leave the next GmorningEm,  for some Cindie-hipster Dchick
And I'll say I don't GmindEm,  'cause he'd Calways be Dkind of a dick
[Pre-Chorus]
And that Cmight never Dchange, and I'll Emnever learn my Glesson
                            C   DN.C.          G  
'Cause boys with guitars are just so fucking common
    Em   C   D
G   Em   C   D
[Chorus]
And I Cstill don't see Dwhy I should take Emoff these fucking Gsweatpants
'Cause CI'm doing Dfine, EmLiving the way I Gcurrently am
                        C   DN.C.           G  
Or probably not, But I'm doing the best I can

[Intro]

G Em C D

N.C.

[Verse 1]

G Em C D

My hands are shaking, It’s 3:52 am and I am not

G Em C D

Waking, Up ever again

G Em C D

At least not until Tuesday, When my Amazon package arrives

G Em C D

Because resting is easy but sleeping is harder, so sing the insomniac's lullaby

G Em C D

N.C.

[Verse 2]

G Em C D

I like listenin’ to Elliott, to get my head back in the zone

G Em C D

of my isolation, and why I like being alone

G Em C D

So I'll stay in my bedroom, 'til you give me a reason to leave

G Em C D

Or someone to vent to, 'cause I wear my anger on my sleeve

[Chorus]

C D Em G

And I still don't see why, I should take off these fucking sweatpants

C D Em G

'Cause I'm doing fine, Living the way I currently am

C D G

N.C.

Or probably not, But I'm doing the best I can

Em C D

G Em C D

N.C.

[Verse 3]

G Em C D

Used to think I was special, but I'm not and neither are you

G Em C D

And neither is God, compared to everything else going

G Em C D

N.C.

G Em C D

I'm not cool or attractive, but I can still play guitar and write all these

G Em C D

Songs, About how dumb I think we all are

[Verse 4]

G Em C D

And I'm sorry, that I can be so mean

G Em C D

N.C.

I swear one day I won't be, but until the day I come clean

G Em C D

I'll sit in the shower, that's where you always come up

G Em C D

And although we don't talk, I wish you the best of luck

[Verse 5]

G Em C D

There is not enough soap, to wash my dirty hands

G Em C D

Of all the stupid musicians, that told me they liked the same bands

[Verse 6]

G Em C D

I always will fall, for the same fucking guy

G Em C D

In that cool leather jacket, who'll like to smoke cigarettes and get high

G Em C D

And then leave the next morning, for some indie-hipster chick

G Em C D

And I'll say I don't mind, 'cause he'd always be kind of a dick

[Pre-Chorus]

C D Em G

And that might never change, and I'll never learn my lesson

C D G

N.C.

'Cause boys with guitars are just so fucking common

Em C D

G Em C D

[Chorus]

C D Em G

And I still don't see why I should take off these fucking sweatpants

C D Em G

'Cause I'm doing fine, Living the way I currently am

C D G

N.C.

Or probably not, But I'm doing the best I can
