   C                              G 
My breakfast was straight out the medicine cabinet 
  Am             F 
a remedy for the aftermath of my habits 
C                  G               Am 
sometimes it’s the ones who try to help 
              F 
that hurt the most 
C                                    G    
I feel like we’re playing tug of war and I'm the rope 
        Am 
and I'm stretched to the limit 
        F 
but you keep on pulling 
    C                 G             Am                F 
and I'm gunna lose my goddamn mind, I'm gunna lose my mind 

C G Am G F   C G F  C G Am G F   C G F 

               C    
I want to hide away in the back of a cave  
                G 
at the top of a mountain  
                                        Am 
where no one can hear me and no one can see me  
                   G            
so I don’t have to deal with them  
               F 
and they don’t have to deal with me  
      C 
Cause relationships are overrated  
G 
maybe I'm just tired and jaded  
        Am                G                       F 
but I'm sorry I just like myself more than I like you  

           C                   G 
So call me anti-social call it masturbation  
       Am              F 
Either way it’s a solo operation  
C                 G           F 
I'm just far more comfortable alone  

                C 
It appears that apathy  
               G    Am F 
has gotten the best of me  
             C                    G 
cause I'm so tired of you talking my ear off  
               Am                    F 
about all your problems I just can’t fix  
        C                        G Am F 
I don’t appreciate this unwanted company  
         C 
and your constant chatter  
G                  Am                  F 
reminds me why I’d rather you leave me be  

           C                   G 
So call me anti-social call it masturbation  
       Am              F 
Either way it’s a solo operation  
C                 G           F 
I'm just far more comfortable alone  

Chorus  
      Am                  G   
Cause people are ugly and people are hateful  
C               G 
destructive and greedy  
      F 
we’re proud and ungrateful  
    Am                     G          F 
the world would be so much better off without us  
Am 
So swallow a bullet  
G 
or a handful of pills  
          C          G 
we’re all compost in training  
            F 
and there’s graves left to fill  
   Am                            G                        F 
we distract ourselves to make us feel like we’re not just mistakes  
   Am                            G                        F 
we distract ourselves to make us feel like we’re not just mistakes  

                                       C 
It seems that everybody’s always got a bone to pick  
                    G 
a promise to break, never again will I make that mistake 
Am 
Of trusting anyone  
G 
trusting anyone  
F 
trusting anyone  
           C 
This is my misanthropic confession  
G 
human beings are a waste of breath and  
Am            G 
don’t think I excuse myself  
        F F F F F 
I'm an asshole just like you  

Chorus  
      Am                  G   
Cause people are ugly and people are hateful  
C               G 
destructive and greedy  
      F 
we’re proud and ungrateful  
    Am                     G          F 
the world would be so much better off without us  
Am 
So swallow a bullet  
G 
or a handful of pills  
          C          G 
we’re all compost in training  
            F 
and there’s graves left to fill  
   Am                            G                        F 
we distract ourselves to make us feel like we’re not just mistakes  
   Am                            G                        F 
we distract ourselves to make us feel like we’re not just mistakes  

   C                              G                C (Let the C ring out) 
My breakfast was straight out the medicine cabinet.
