#Intro
[C] [C7] [F] [Fm]
#Verse 1
[C]Shapes in the wall don’t matter at all, I’ll [C7]make them bend to fit
[F]Efficiently, independently, your [Fm]Ls grew in or up and it
This [C]worn in hall’s where I belong, and high [C7]praise up on the stage
[F]As dozens of nameless faces are [Fm]chanting my stage name
 
And [Am]every single thing that you thought could help has been [F]scrapped all
up, put on the shelf [Am]again [G]
And [Am]every single thing you’ve ever dreamed is [F]slowly drifting
out of reach [Am]again [G]
 
Pre-chorus 1:
[F]Maybe it’s just a fanta[G]fantasy, maybe I want a fami[C]family
A wife, a job, a home, a [C7]share, the cake, or at least take my piece
[F]Maybe I just want to grow old, [G]maybe I just want to be [C]told
“Here’s the path you’ll take, so [C7]follow to a tee!
 
#Chorus
[F]Oh my God, [G]I’m going crazy
[C]Oh my God, I would [C7]kill a baby
[F]Just keep running and [G]just keep fighting
[C]You’ll earn your peace when [C7]you turn 90
 
[F]Oh my God, my [G]god's abandoned [C]me
Didn’t care for [C7]codependen[F]codependency
I see, this [G]world doesn’t care
But [C]I hope you know that [C7]I’ll always be t[F]her[G]e, I’ll always be t[C]her[C7]e!
 
#Interlude
[F] [G] [C] [C7]
#Verse 2
The [C]pain and anger comes in waves, these [C7]medicines are wrong
[F]Slightly slower now, but still, it’s [Fm]off and on
[C]You can hate me all you want un[C7]until the day I die
[F]Unfortunately for us, I’m still [Fm]one of a kind
[Am]And every single thing that you thought
could help has been [F]scrapped all up, put on the shelf [Am]again [G]
And eve[Am]every single thing you’ve ever dreamed
is [F]slowly drifting out of reach [Am]again [G] [G7]
 
#Verse 3
[F]Maybe it’s just a fever [G]dream, maybe I should muffle my [C]screams
They say to “be yourself,” but [C7]who am I without the years of hell?
[F]Collage of people and [G]songs, and shows and movies ‘cause I [C]thought
The more I pile on, the [C7]lesser chance of getting lost
 
[F]Can’t see past interest in [G]paths, I were the boot, tip to my past [C]
I know the future’s coming, [C7]should I settle down and just [F]crash
Into the nearest full-[G]full-time position to make a [C]dime
Except the boss will make a [C7]dollar and never value my [F]life
[G]Oh God, is this just my [C]life? [C7]
 
#Chorus
[F] [G]
[C] [C7]
[F] [G]
[C] [C7]
#Pre-Chorus
[F]Maybe it’s just a fanta[G]fantasy, maybe I just want to be [C]free
Ditch the shame and panic, I [C7]swear to God that I’m not manic
[F]I’ll take the road less travelled, [G]pack my bags and never settle [C]down
-The rabbit hole we go, [C7]stepping into the unknown
 
#Chorus
[F]Don’t you worry, don’t be sorry, [G]don’t be selfish, kamikaze
[C]Up down up down left right start, [C7]I’ll sell my soul but keep my heart
[F]Oh my God, I’m [G]going crazy
[C]Oh my God, I would [C7]kill a baby
[F]Just keep running, [G]just keep fighting
You’ll [C]earn your peace when [C7]you turn 90!
 
[F]Oh my God, my [G]gods abandoned [C]me
 
Didn’t care for [C7]codependen[F]codependency
 
I see, this [G]world doesn’t care
 
But [C]I hope you know [C7]that I’ll always be [F]there
 
#Outro
There’s still some[G]something worth fighting [C]for-
 
-ty days and [C7]forty nights I [F]think
 
I feel I [G]know I am a [C]knight
 
A hand, a [C7]guard, a man, I [F]can’t
 
Believe that [G]I’m now finding
 
[C]There is still something worth fighting for
