Verse 1:

Em D C I'm caught up in the everyday trend G Tied up by invisible thread Em D Walking down a razor-thin edge C G And I wake up tired, think I'm better off dead Em D C Been a few months since I crossed over state lines G Talk to my mom, fake smiles over FaceTime Em D C Drink all night till I can't walk in a straight line G Feel so low but I'm high at the same time

Pre-Chorus

G Bm C I can't keep my feet on the ground G Bm C And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now G Bm C I'm hoping that someone comes around D Em Bm C Helps me figure it out
Em D C G I think that I should try to kill my ego Em D C G 'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me Em D I'm all grown up but somehow lately C G I'm acting like a fucking baby Em D C G I'm really not as happy as I seem

Verse 2:

Em Still a little kid that can't make friends C D Wanna be invited, but I won't attend Em I've been having bad dreams my career could end C D 'Cause I slip up when I should've played pretend Em D Turned eighteen and I left the city C G Said, 'I wanna be cool, I don't wanna be pretty' Em D The voices all came crashing down C G And said, 'You're too nice to run this town'

Pre-Chorus

G Bm C I can't keep my feet on the ground G Bm C And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now G Bm C I'm hoping that someone comes around D Em Bm C Helps me figure it out
Em D C G I think that I should try to kill my ego Em D C G 'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me Em D I'm all grown up but somehow lately C G I'm acting like a fucking baby Em D C I'm really not as happy as I seem G Em D C Nothing's as it seems G Em D C G Nothing's as it seems Em D And I'm all grown up but somehow lately C G I'm acting like a fucking baby Em D C G I'm really not that happy being me

Bridge:

C I don't like the lie I'm living D I'm way too nice and too forgiving Em I wanna go back to the beginning D When it all felt right C A rooftop, Lower East Side, I'm singing D Didn't give a fuck if I was winning Em It's all done now, who am I kidding? I'm doing way worse than I'm admitting
Em D C G I think that I should try to kill my ego Em D C G 'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me Em D I'm all grown up but somehow lately C G I'm acting like a fucking baby Em D C I'm really not as happy as I seem G Em D C Nothing's as it seems G Em D C G Nothing's as it seems Em D And I'm all grown up but somehow lately C G I'm acting like a fucking baby Em D C I'm really not that happy being me
