Em7                                
I'm caught up in the everyday trend
Gsus4      G               
Tied up by invisible thread
Em7            G             
Walking down a razorthin edge
      C                       G              
And I wake up tired think I'm better off dead
Em                        Em7                     
Been a few months since I crossed over state lines
C                   G                   
Talk to my mom fake smiles over FaceTime
Em7                                                 
Drink all night till I can't walk in a straight line
G       Gsus4       C                    
Feel so low but I'm high at the same time
G                           C     
I can't keep my feet on the ground
    G                                   C  
And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now
G                             C     
I'm hoping that someone comes around
         D         G   C
Helps me figure it out ■


[Chorus]
Em             D                     C  
I think that I should try to kill my ego
Em                   D              C 
'cause if I don't my ego might kill me
    Em7                            
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
C                             
I'm acting like a fucking baby
Em7                              
I'm really not as happy as I seem
G     Em                                  
Still a little kid that can't make friends


[Verse]
C                                  
Wanna be invited but I won't attend
          Em                                   
I've been having bad dreams my career could end
         C                                      
'cause I slip up when I should've played pretend
Em                                 
Turned eighteen and I left the city
       Cmaj7                                
Said I wanna be cool I don't wanna be pretty
    Em7                          
The voices all came crashing down
         Cmaj7                           
And said You're too nice to run this town
Gmaj7   G                   Cmaj7 
I can't keep my feet on the ground
        G                                   Cmaj7
And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now ■    
G                             C     
I'm hoping that someone comes around
         G      C  G C    
Helps me figure it ■ ■ out


[Chorus]
Em Em7                                C  
I  think that I should try to kill my ego
          Em7 Em       D                
'cause if I   don't my ego might kill me
C   D   Em7                        
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
C                             
I'm acting like a fucking baby
Em7               D          C   
I'm really not as happy as I seem
G                    
Nothing's as it seems
Em7 Em C Cmaj7

And I'm ■ all grown up but somehow lately

I'm really not that happy being me
Cmaj7 C     Cmaj7                  
I     don't like the lie I'm living


[Bridge]
    D                             
I'm way too nice and too forgiving
  Em7                           
I wanna go back to the beginning
     Em          C    
When it all felt right
  C                                  
A rooftop Lower East Side I'm singing
D                                  
Didn't give a fuck if I was winning
Em7                        Em     
It's all done now who am I kidding
                         Em           
I'm doing way worse than I'm admitting
                      Em7            C  
I think that I should try to kill my ego


[Chorus]
       Em            Em7            C 
'cause if I don't my ego might kill me
G   Em                             
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
C                 G           
I'm acting like a fucking baby
Em7                          C   
I'm really not as happy as I seem
G               Em    D C
Nothing's as it seems ■ ■
C                    
Nothing's as it seems
Em  D   Cmaj7 Em7                            
And I'm ■     all grown up but somehow lately
Cmaj7             G           
I'm acting like a fucking baby
Em7                 D           C  D G
I'm really not that happy being me ■ ■
