C#  G# C#/F F#
I'm coming to
the conclusion
D#m       C#/F
I think I would
F#
rather be Anyone
         F# C# G# C#/F F# C# G# C#/F
else but me

F#               C#
This straight jacket
          G#    C#/F
chokes me of addiction
F#             C#
This tightrope is
        G#     C#/F
swaying in the wind
           D#m
And it's a long way
C#/F F#     C#
down No way out of
G#
this so I Oh it's
  D#m      C#/F
a long way down
         F#
When the tension
      C#
gives out Cause
G#
that's when I snap
And that's how
I'm feeling now

Chorus:
C# G# C#/F F#
Oh my head tripped
and fell too hard
 G#  C#     G# C#/F
again  Lost myself
F#
lost myself in the
   G#   C#
nervous wreck
    G# C#/F F#
I'm coming to
the conclusion
D#m       C#/F
I think I would
F#
rather be Anyone
         F# C# G# C#/F F# C# G# C#/F
else but me

This dissonance blurs the lines
And fucks with my symmetry
I'm one twisted butterfly
I will never be quite good enough
And I'm holding on so I don't come undone
But I feel like giving up

Chorus

A#m         G#
All eyes on me
           D#m
But that's not
     F#
reality Cause my
A#m
mind plays tricks
   G#
on me Sometimes
   D#m
my mind plays tricks
   F# A#m
on me Crawling up
    G#           D#m
the walls Caving as
                F#
they are caving in
        A#m
Claustrophobic in
   G#      D#/G
my own skin    From
               F# C# G# C#/F F# C# G# C#/F
holding it all in

Chorus:
Oh my head, tripped and fell too hard again
Lost myself, lost myself in the nervous wreck
I'm coming to the conclusion
I think I would rather be
Woah I, I think I'd rather be
Anyone else but me
Anyone else but me
