[Verse 1]
                 G                                  Bm
15 of my closest friends, walked me right up to the ledge
                           G                                 Bm         Riff
”Everyone loves you,” they said, so why do they leave me for dead?
G                                                               Bm
Speaking off the record baby, I can’t believe you hurt yourself again
    G                                                             Bm
And even for a second baby, I can’t believe you’d risk it all for them
Riff                   G                            Bm
I spent the bulk of my youth, fucking my hand in my room
                      G                                    Bm     Riff
Singing a song out of tune, and wishing my brown eyes were blue
    G                                                              Bm
And speaking of your record baby, don’t include the early years at all
        G                                                                       Bm      Riff
They’re just a bit depressing, maybe? just give them all the rockstar that they want

A String:--5---------/---------7-------- G**   D*                 Em*    G**
                    Or maybe I spoke too soon,   it’s something I always do

D                   Em                    G*
  Whatever kills me fastest find a way to mask it, singing to the masses
D            Em        G*
  Or maybe I spoke too soon
D            Em              G**
  I’m not Cobain, I’m just a bitch, singing to the masses
D*               Em*                       G***
  but I live for fame, and I’ll die for it, Singing to the masses
D*            Em                 G*
  oh baby boy, you are not dead, You’re singing to the masses
D                    Em                  G**
   you’re on the cusp, but not quite yet, Singing to the masses, singing to the masses
                                  Bm    G*
I thought that we were passed this
    Bm                            G*
and speaking off the record baby, speaking off the record baby
Bm                              G*
When I come untethered baby, oh when I come untethered baby

G                                                                  Bm
Are you feeling better baby, or do you think about it every night?
           G
Hey, you’re smiling more than ever baby
                                      Bm
Tell me why you want to end your life
