Verse 

F# 
I love you, I hate you, I'm on the fence, it all depends 
F# 
Whether I'm up or down, I'm on the mend, transcending all reality 
F# 
I like you, despise you, admire you 
F# 
What are we gonna do when everything all falls through? 
F# 
I must confess, I've made a mess of what should be a small success 
F# 
But I digress, at least I've tried my very best, I guess 
F# 
This, that, the other, why even bother? 
F#     F#    E   D#     C# 
It won't be with me on my deathbed, but I'll still be in your head 

Chorus 
F#                            A         B                 F#    A      B 
Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you 
F#                         A          B                 F#    A      B 
Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you 
F#                               A                  B       F#    A      B 
Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey 
F#                         A       B              A#m7 
I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny 

   
F#            F#    E   D#     C# 
verse 2 
F# 
It's scratched and drifting, I've become attached to the idea 
F# 
It's all a shifting dream, bittersweet philosophy 
F# 
I've got no idea how I even got here 
F# 
I'm resentful, I'm having an existential time crisis 
F# 
Want bliss, daylight savings won't fix this mess 
F# 
Under-worked and over-sexed, I must express my disinterest 
F#       F#    E   D#     C# 
The rats are back inside my head, what would Freud have said? 


Chorus 

verse 3 
F# 
I wanna wash out my head with turpentine, cyanide 
F# 
I decide this internal diatribe 
F# 
When I try to catch you right, I hate seeing you cry 
F# 
In the kitchen, I don't know why it affects me like this 
F# 
When you're not even mine to consider 
F# 
Erroneous, harmonious, I'm hardly sanctimonious 
F# 
Dirty clothes, I suppose we all outgrow ourselves 
F# 
I'm a fake, I'm a phony, I'm awake, I'm alone 
F# 
I'm homely, I'm a Scorpio 

Chorus
