G                   Em                       C 
Trying hard not to look like I'm trying that hard 
                     D            D (hold) 
Failing miserably at everything, including that 
G                  Em                         C 
Making plans in my head right before I go to sleep 
                       D                           G 
Trying to think of who could make a better me than me 
G                       Em 
Maybe I'll shoot him an email 
                      C 
Maybe he'll give it a go 
                           Em          D            G 
Then I'll be free to just evaporate, disperse, or implode 
                         Em 
Picking at holes in my jeans 
                 C             Em 
There's so much God in my gene pool 
G                                D     G 
Not feeling lonely, I just like being alone 
           Em       C     G                 D 
I've called A through F already but no one knows 
           Em       C        G             D 
Why one girl, one band, two paychecks are more than I can handle 
          Em           C             G                 D 
Mathematically that can't be more than one end of a candle 
         Em             C         G 
Bottom of the ninth, can't find my socks 
      D 
Lord knows 
     Em            D           C                        Em 
I'm stuck between two good things, but I just wanna get out 
Em     D 
Mom knows 
    Em                      C 
I should have been home an hour ago 
        G          D                         C 
But I'm still outside, not doing anything wrong 
      Em                            C                       D 
Just walking in circles, replaying high school songs in my head 
               Em        C        G 
Because it's better than lying awake
