Version 1 Version 2
            [Verse 1]
             F                          Dm
Here's the thing: I can't do anything right,
           F                  Dm
Try as I absolutely, totally might
               A7            Dm
The bones are melting, the skeleton is ash,
      C
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
                   C
I don't even know what I don't know
            Gm                        Dm
And if you look outside you’ll see disintegrating trees
     Bb                 C                F       Bb   F
The artificial way the sunlight bounces off the waxy leaves
Bb        Gm
My heart catches on every thorn
                Dm
You’re already halfway out the door
         Bb              Dm
And I’ve never looked so old
            Am            Dm
And I have never been so cold
          Bb
And it is 85 degrees
A7
  I don’t know what I need


[Interlude]

F    A7    Dm    Gm
F    A7    Bb


[Verse 2]
                  F                          Dm
There’s lukewarm herbal mango sweet hibiscus tea
             F              A7              Dm     A7  Bb
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
It wouldn’t catch ‘cause all the posters are on their
 F     Bb      F
Way to my hometown


[Chorus]
Bb       F
And I'm not your protagonist,
    A7
I'm not even my own;
   Dm         Gm
I don't know anything,
                       C
I don't even know what I don't know
           Gm                         Dm
And if you look outside you’ll see disintegrating trees,
     Bb                 C                F       Bb        F
The artificial way the sunlight bounces off the glitching leaves
Bb            Gm                Dm
My wet heart catches on every thorn,
                Am              Dm
You’re already halfway out the door
            Bb         Dm
And I’m so tiny and so old
               C             Dm
And God, it’s never been so cold
          Bb
And it is 85 degrees
 A7
I don’t know what I need
