Intro: N.C. (drums)
A E B C#m
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser, Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift. All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room
A E
I should not be left to my own devices. They come with prices and

vices. I end up in crises. (Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming. One day I'll watch as you're
leaving. 'Cause you got tired of my scheming (For the last time)
A E B C#m
It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me. At tea time, everybody agrees
A E B C#m
I'll stare directly at the sun But never in the mirror. It must be exhausting Always rooting for the anti-hero
A E B C#m
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city. Pierced through the heart, but never killed
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as
altruism. Like some kind of congressman (Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming One day I'll watch as you're
leaving And life will lose all its meaning (For the last time)
A E B C#m
It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me. At tea time, everybody agrees
A E B C#m
I'll stare directly at the sun But never in the mirror. It must be exhausting Always rooting for the anti-hero
A E B C#m (instrumental)
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers around and reads it and then someone screams out
"She's laughing up at us from hell!"
A E B C#m
It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me
A E B C#m
It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me
A E B C#m
It's me, hi, everybody agrees
A E B C#m
Everybody agrees…
A E B C#m
It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me. At tea time, everybody agrees
A E B C#m
I'll stare directly at the sun But never in the mirror. It must be exhausting Always rooting for the anti-hero
