(If playing on guitar, put a capo on the 5th fret; these chords also work for the uke)
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)
