D#
Four shots deep, I'm out alone again
A#                       F
'Cause I don't really know who to call friend, yeah
D#
Should have stayed home, but I'd rather pretend
      A#                    F
That I'm not gonna lose it, I know what
I'm doing, yeah

I call you, but you never pick up
Maybe I'm just asking too much, yeah
Thought I'd know it all by 21
But I still don't know

Chorus:
D#
How to be human
                 A#             F
Still don't know how to be human
               D#
I don't know what I am doing
                A#            F
Please tell me how to be human

4 AM and I can't sleep again
I don't know God, but I know that I sin
I wanna love, but I have thicker skin
Now that somebody has hurt me
Heart was broken early, yeah

I call you, but you never pick up
Maybe I'm just asking too much, yeah
Thought I'd know it all by 21
But I still don't know

Chorus:
How to be human
Still don't know how to be human
I don't know what I am doing
Please tell me how to be human

(I still don't know how to be human)
(Still don't know how to be human)
(I don't know what I am doing)
(Please tell me how to be human)
(I still don't know how to be human)
Bending all my bones for you
(Still don't know how to be human)
I don't know what's left of me
(I don't know what I am doing)
What am I supposed to do?
(Please tell me how to be human)
Oh yeah (I still don't know)

I call you, but you never pick up
Maybe I'm just asking too much, yeah
Thought I'd know it all by 21
