A             E               B
I have this thing where I get older
         C#m7
But just never wiser
A            E            B    C#m7
Midnights become my afternoons
A           E                  B
When my depression works the graveyard shift
   C#m7           A
All of the people I’ve ghosted
  E                  B  C#m7
Stand there in the room

A                    E            B
I should not be left to my own devices
         C#m7              A
They come with prices and vices
  E                       B               C#m7
I end up in crisis (I’ve realized all this time)
A            E             B
I wake up screaming from dreaming
             C#m7
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
A              E             B
Cause you got tired of my scheming
         C#m7
(For the last time)

Chorus:
      A   E
It’s me, hi
B                    C#m7
I’m the problem, it’s me
    A   E    B            C#m7
At tea time, everybody agrees
A             E             B
I’ll stare directly at the sun
         C#m7
But never in the mirror
A             E
It must be exhausting
        B             C#m7
Always rooting for the anti-hero

A E B C#m7

A             E              B        C#m7
Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
A          E              B    C#m7
And I'm a monster on the hill
A           E
Too big to hang out,
        B                   C#m7
Slowly lurching toward your favorite city
A                    E                B    C#m7
Pierced through the heart, but never killed

A             E         B
Did you hear my covert narcissism
   C#m7       A
I disguise as altruism
     E             B
Like some kind of congressman?
                  C#m7
(A tale as old as time)
A            E             B
I wake up screaming from dreaming
              C#m7              A
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
               E            B
And life will lose all its meaning
              C#m7
(For the last time)

Chorus:
      A   E
It's me, hi
B                    C#m7
I'm the problem, it's me
    A   E    B            C#m7
At teatime, everybody agrees
A             E             B
I'll stare directly at the sun,
         C#m7
But never in the mirror
A             E
It must be exhausting always
  B             C#m7
Rooting for the anti-hero

A E B C#m7

A             E               B
I have this dream my daughter-in-law
         C#m7
Kills me for the money
A             E                B   C#m7
She thinks I left them in the will
A           E                  B
The family gathers 'round and reads it
         C#m7
And then someone screams out
A               E              B   C#m7
"She's laughing up at us from hell"

      A   E
It's me, hi
B                    C#m7
I'm the problem, it's me
      A   E
It's me, hi
B                    C#m7
I'm the problem, it's me
      A   E   B
It's me, hi
     C#m7               A       E   B
Everybody agrees, everybody agrees

C#m7

Chorus:
      A   E
It's me, hi
B                    C#m7
I'm the problem, it's me
    A   E    B            C#m7
At teatime, everybody agrees
A             E             B
I'll stare directly at the sun,
         C#m7
But never in the mirror
A             E
It must be exhausting always
  B             C#m7        A  E  B
Rooting for the anti-hero
