 C       G        C     G
Life is long and God is mean
 C     G      B7   Em
Suffering in everything
 B7       Em      C          G
Music is bad and movies are too
 C         G        B7      Em
Bugs are trapped inside my room
        C       D           G
So pick anybody other than me

 Em     B       C       G
I'm so sick of telling lies
 Em     B        C       B
I'm so sick of smiling 'til
         Em           B       C             G
I can't go home and cry, say sad girls are hot
         C           D                        Em
But it doesn’t even matter if you want me or not
       C       G     B7     Em
'Cause I'm so tired, I'm so low
 C        G       B     Em
I've got nowhere left to go

Leaves change color, babies cry
All I want to do is die
Cut two holes out of a sheet
Give me something good to eat
Trick or treat, what's it gonna be?

I wish I could lose the weight and look the part
Exorcise my fat old heart
Wedding dress and smokey eyes
That look better after I cry
It's nothing to me these days
Halloween is nothing to me

                         C      G   C           G
And the worst part is: I have no desire to be thin
C        G       B       Em
I don’t need to let them win
    Am           G            D        Em
But I would give anything to look the way
      C                           D
That sick people are supposed to look

C    G            C       G
Why can't I just finally die?
 C        G       B        Em
Why can't I just fail and try?
C                     Am      D
I know exactly where my blood is
       G
If I try, I will not miss
