verse 1 

D                     F                             
I've been feeling so frustrated 
                 Em                                 
I'll never be as great as 
          G                                        
I want to be 
D                   F                               
Everyone that I run into 
                            Em                      
The ones you always seem so into 
                  G                                
What's wrong with me? 
                                                  
D                     F                             
They all seem to know exactly 
                           Em                       
What it is they want, they pass me 
                   G                               
They smile as they go 
D                    F                              
So I work at staying patient 
                          Em                        
Good things come to those that wait 
           G                                       
Or so they say 
                                                  

Bm  G      D  Dsus2 D G                                               
I'm so empty 
Bm              G       D   G    F    D                                             
You're all I'm thinking about,  about 
       G      F     D                                                  
Oh oh, about, about 
          D     G  F    D                                                     
Oh oh oh, about,   about 
           G    F       D                                                  
Oh oh oh, about, about 
                                                  
                                                  
verse 2 

D              F                                    
I get tired of trying 
                 Em                                 
Ideas die on the vine 
                  G                                
And I feel like a fake 
D              F                                    
I lie awake believing 
                    Em                             
That somehow I keep failing 
             G                                     
I rail and I ache 
D                       F                           
At the monsters and the demons 
                       Em                            
I've wrestled with for eons 
              G                                    
And I want to destroy 

D  G  F  D  G  F  D

I'm so empty 
Bm              G       D                                                      
You're all I talk about 
G  F  D                                                     
Oh oh-out 
       G      F     D                                                       
You're all I talk about
