[Intro]
E B F# G#
[Verse 1]
E B F# G#
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
E B F# G# F#
Midnights become my afternoons
E B F#
When my depression works the graveyard shift
G# E B F# G# F#
All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
[Pre-chorus 1]
E B F#
I should not be left to my own devices
G# E B
They come with prices and vices
F# G# F#
I end up in crisis
E B F#
I wake up screaming from dreaming
G# F# E
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
B F# G# F#
Cause you got tired of my scheming
[Chorus]
E B
It’s me, hi
F# G#
I’m the problem, it’s me
E B F# G#
At tea time, everybody agrees
E B F#
I’ll stare directly at the sun
G#
But never in the mirror
E B
It must be exhausting
F# G# F#
Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumental]
E B F# G#
E B F# G# F#
[Verse 2]
E B F# G# F#
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
E B F# G# F#
And I’m a monster on the hill
E B F# G# F#
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
E B F# G# F#
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
[Pre-chorus 2]
E B F# G# F# E
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
B F# G# F#
Like some crooked congressman
E B F#
I wake up screaming from dreaming
G# F# E
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
B F# G# F#
And life will lose all its meaning
[Chorus]
E B
It’s me, hi
F# G#
I’m the problem, it’s me
E B F# G#
At tea time, everybody agrees
E B F#
I’ll stare directly at the sun
G# F#
But never in the mirror
E B
It must be exhausting
F# G# F#
Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumental]
E B F# G#
[Bridge]
E B F# G#
I have this dream my daughter kills me for the money
E B F# G# F#
She thinks I left her in the will
E B F# G#
And all my family gathers round and then someone screams out
E B F# G# F#
“He’s laughing up at us from hell!”
[Chorus]
E B
It’s me, hi
F# G#
I’m the problem, it’s me
E B F# G#
At tea time, everybody agrees
E B F#
I’ll stare directly at the sun
G# F#
But never in the mirror
E B
It must be exhausting
F# G# F#
Always rooting for the anti-hero.
[Outro]

[Verse 1]
I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people
I have ghosted stand there in the room
[Pre-Chorus]
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in a crisis
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch you as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
[Chorus]
And it's mе, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At tеatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced right through the heart, but never killed
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some crooked congressman?
And I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch you as you're leaving
Life will lose all of its meaning
[Chorus]
And it's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
[Bridge]
I have this dream where my daughter kills me for the money
She thinks I left her in the will
And all my family gathers 'round and then somebody screams out
"He's laughing up at us from Hell"
[Chorus]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
