        Em  D  C  G 

Verse 1:
Em                   D             C 
I'm caught up in the everyday trend 
             G 
Tied up by invisible thread 
Em             D 
Walking down a razor-thin edge 
      C                        G 
And I wake up tired, think I'm better off dead 
Em                        D                  C 
Been a few months since I crossed over state lines 
                            G 
Talk to my mom, fake smiles over FaceTime 
Em                     D                        C 
Drink all night till I can't walk in a straight line 
                    G 
Feel so low but I'm high at the same time 

Pre-Chorus
G               Bm          C 
I can't keep my feet on the ground 
        G                   Bm          C 
And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now 
    G               Bm         C 
I'm hoping that someone comes around 
         D         Em  Bm C 
Helps me figure it out 


  Em                  D              C   G 
I think that I should try to kill my ego 
       Em             D              C   G 
'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me 
    Em               D 
I'm all grown up but somehow lately 
    C             G 
I'm acting like a fucking baby 
    Em            D          C    G 
I'm really not as happy as I seem 


Verse 2:
Em 
Still a little kid that can't make friends 
C                             D 
Wanna be invited, but I won't attend 
          Em 
I've been having bad dreams my career could end 
         C                               D 
'Cause I slip up when I should've played pretend 
Em                    D 
Turned eighteen and I left the city 
         C                      G 
Said, "I wanna be cool, I don't wanna be pretty" 
    Em              D 
The voices all came crashing down 
           C                  G 
And said, "You're too nice to run this town" 

Pre-Chorus
G               Bm          C 
I can't keep my feet on the ground 
        G                   Bm          C 
And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now 
    G               Bm         C 
I'm hoping that someone comes around 
         D         Em  Bm C 
Helps me figure it out 


  Em                  D              C   G 
I think that I should try to kill my ego 
       Em             D              C   G 
'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me 
    Em               D 
I'm all grown up but somehow lately 
    C             G 
I'm acting like a fucking baby 
    Em            D          C 
I'm really not as happy as I seem 
G               Em    D C 
Nothing's as it seems 
G               Em    D C G 
Nothing's as it seems 
        Em               D 
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately 
    C             G 
I'm acting like a fucking baby 
    Em              D           C  G 
I'm really not that happy being me 


Bridge:
C 
I don't like the lie I'm living 
    D 
I'm way too nice and too forgiving 
  Em 
I wanna go back to the beginning 
                       D 
When it all felt right 
  C 
A rooftop, Lower East Side, I'm singing 
D 
Didn't give a fuck if I was winning 
     Em 
It's all done now, who am I kidding? 


I'm doing way worse than I'm admitting 


  Em                  D              C   G 
I think that I should try to kill my ego 
       Em             D              C   G 
'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me 
    Em               D 
I'm all grown up but somehow lately 
    C             G 
I'm acting like a fucking baby 
    Em            D          C 
I'm really not as happy as I seem 
G               Em    D C 
Nothing's as it seems 
G               Em    D C G 
Nothing's as it seems 
        Em               D 
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately 
    C             G 
I'm acting like a fucking baby 
    Em              D           C 
I'm really not that happy being me
