                    A#m
It's not a very big deal
                            G#
I just thought Heaven would glow
                  D#
I lost my life to get here
                   G#
And I'm so fucking bored

              Fm
I don't wanna die this way
And you should know
                    G#
I'm looking at your eyes and
You super fucking don't

G#
I wanna steal a car and
Fm
Crash it right into a board
                  G#
Fuck someone's professor
Even if it's not my own

                     C#/G#
'Cause I don't wanna go like this
          Fm/C
So goddamn bored
              C#/G#        A#m
I don't wanna live this way
                C#         D#7  C
And you should know, ah-ah-ah

Looking at the sky,
can't believe it's real
It's so fucking synthetic,
I don't know how to feel

Settle on nothing,
I'm gonna burn it down
Rip it like a curtain
and toss it to the ground

'Cause I don't wanna go this way a
nd you should know
I'm looking at your eyes and,
god, you just don't

Walk into the ocean
And swim away
Trade a boring life for
One real bad day
