G#                   D#/G#             Fm/G#
I've been thinkin' 'bout my father lately
    D#/G#           G#
The person that he made me
    D#/G#         C# D#
The person I've become
    G#                   D#/G#
And I've been trying to fill all of this
Fm/G#
empty
     D#/G#                Fm7
But, fuck, I'm still so empty
                       C#  D#sus4
Yeah, I could use some love

    G#         D#/G      Fm7    D#/G
And I've been trying to find a reason to get
G#
up
     D#/G      Fm7    D#sus4           C#
Been trying to find a reason for this stuff
      G#/C            A#m7
In my bedroom and my closet
    G#/C           C#       G#/C    D#sus4
The baggage in my heart is still so dark

Chorus:
G#      A#m7
Modern loneliness
      Fm7              D#
We're never alone, but always depressed,

yeah
G#       A#m7
Love my friends to death
    Fm7              D#
But I never call and I never text, yeah
G#     A#m7
La-di-da-di-da
          Fm7                   D#
Yeah, you get what you give and you give

what you get, so
G#      A#m7
Modern loneliness
   Fm7                   D#
We love to get high, but we don't know how
         C#
to come down

If I could break my DNA to pieces
Rid of all my demons
If I could cleanse my soul
Then I could fill the world with all my problems
But, shit, that wouldn't solve them
So, I'm left here alone

And I've been trying to find a reason to get up
I'm trying to find a reason for this stuff
In my bedroom and my closet
The baggage in my heart is still so dark

Chorus:
Modern loneliness
We're never alone, but always depressed, yeah
Love my friends to death
But I never call and I never text 'em
La-di-da-di-da
Yeah, you get what you give
and you give what you get, so
Modern loneliness
We love to get high,
but we don't know how to come down

      G#/C         A#m7
Down, down, down, down, down
D#                         C#
We don't know how to come down
      G#/C         A#m7
Down, down, down, down, down
D#                         C#
We don't know how to come down
      G#/C         A#m7
Down, down, down, down, down
D#                         C#
We don't know how to come down
      G#/C         A#m7
Down, down, down, down, down
D#                         C#
We don't know how to come down

Chorus:
Modern loneliness
We're never alone, but always depressed, yeah
Love my friends to death
But I never call and I never text 'em
La-di-da-di-da
Yeah, you get what you give
and you give what you get, so
Modern loneliness
We love to get high,
but we don't know how to come down

Down, down, down, down, down
We don't know how to come down
Down, down, down, down, down
We don't know how to come down
Down, down, down, down, down
(I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin')
We don't know how to come down
(Please don't wake me up)
Down, down, down, down, down
(I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin')
We don't know how to come down
(Please don't wake me up)

Modern loneliness
We're never alone, but always depressed, yeah
