Weirdo Years

[Verse 1]

It’s ancient and predictable, to smart to be happy and too dumb to be a success

eb|-----------------------------7---------------------4--------------|
Bb|-11-------------11-----------7---------------------4--------------|
Gb|-11-------------11-----------8---------------------4--------------|
Db|-11-------------10-----------9---------------------6--------------|
Ab|-9--------------11-----------9---------------------6--------------|
Eb|-----------------------------7---------------------4--------------|

Mum’s done her best, and raised you wrong, backbone like a stick and a head filled with Jungian slips

eb|-----------------------------7---------------------4--------------|
Bb|-11-------------11-----------7---------------------4--------------|
Gb|-11-------------11-----------8---------------------4--------------|
Db|-11-------------10-----------9---------------------6--------------|
Ab|-9--------------11-----------9---------------------6--------------|
Eb|-----------------------------7---------------------4--------------|

Music’s a terrible conduit, for serious themes like dying alone with no peace

eb|-----------------------------7---------------------4--------------|
Bb|-11-------------11-----------7---------------------4--------------|
Gb|-11-------------11-----------8---------------------4--------------|
Db|-11-------------10-----------9---------------------6--------------|
Ab|-9--------------11-----------9---------------------6--------------|
Eb|-----------------------------7---------------------4--------------|

What an ironic end to thee I think, cry while I try and sleep, wish I had drowned in my dreams

eb|-----------------------------7---------------------4--------------|
Bb|-11-------------11-----------7---------------------4--------------|
Gb|-11-------------11-----------8---------------------4--------------|
Db|-11-------------10-----------9---------------------6--------------|
Ab|-9--------------11-----------9---------------------6--------------|
Eb|-----------------------------7---------------------4--------------|

(after "wish I had drowned in my dreams...")

Bb|------------------2-------2-------2-------------------------------|
Gb|------------------3-------4-------3-------------------------------|
Db|------------------4-------2-------4-------------------------------|
Ab|------------------4-------4-------4-------------------------------|
Eb|------------------2-------2-------2-------------------------------|


[Chorus]

        Am I chasing that one thing I’m not allowed?

eb|-2----------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-2---------------------6-------------4----------------------------|
Gb|-3---------------------4-------------4----------------------------|
Db|-4---------------------6-------------4----------------------------|
Ab|-4---------------------4-------------2----------------------------|
Eb|-2----------------------------------------------------------------|

      You might love me but you sure don’t like me right now,

eb|-2----------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-2---------------------------6----------4--------------4----------|
Gb|-3---------------------------6----------2--------------4----------|
Db|-4---------------------------6----------4--------------3----------|
Ab|-4---------------------------4----------2-----------3/4-----------|
Eb|-2----------------------------------------------------------------|

       What I am striving for is more or less truth…

eb|-2----------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-2----------------------------6-------4---------------------------|
Gb|-3----------------------------4-------4---------------------------|
Db|-4----------------------------6-------4---------------------------|
Ab|-4----------------------------4-------2---------------------------|
Eb|-2----------------------------------------------------------------|

   …in myself.

Gb|-11-------------11-----------8---------------------4--------------|
Db|-11-------------10-----------9---------------------6--------------|

I’m grappling for reality, it’s art through adversity, dad’s been far too kind to me

eb|-----------------------------7---------------------4--------------|
Bb|-11-------------11-----------7---------------------4--------------|
Gb|-11-------------11-----------8---------------------4--------------|
Db|-11-------------10-----------9---------------------6--------------|
Ab|-9--------------11-----------9---------------------6--------------|
Eb|-----------------------------7---------------------4--------------|

God damn I’m bored by my own speech, a privileged and passive life, some say I’m barely alive

Bb|-11-------------11-----------7---------------------4--------------|
Gb|-11-------------11-----------8---------------------4--------------|
Db|-11-------------10-----------9---------------------6--------------|
