Em C A Em C A Em C A Em C A
I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed
Em C A Em C A Em C A Em C A
I might be proving you right with my silence or my retaliation
E5 F#5/E G5/E F#5/E E5 F#5/E G5/E F#5/E
Would I be letting you win in my non reaction? Yeah
E5 F#5/E G5/E F#5/E

To all the unheard wisdom in the schoolyard
A E E/D
You think you're the right ones
A/C# Bsus4 B
You think you're the charmed ones, I'm sure
E E/D A/C#
And how can you go on with such conviction?
C E/B
And who do you think you are?
Bsus4 B
Why do you question me?
[Chorus 3]
Em C
Because we can't not
A Em C
Because we can't not
A Em C G Bm
Because we can't help laugh at underestimations

Why do you trigger me? Why do you trigger me still?
