Tom: E
E
People always say be true to yourself
B
In the ideal situation I'd be anyone else but me
A
It's fine, your fragile state of mind
B
Is just a part of growing up you'll look back on this time
E
And,laugh,your struggle is your art
B
But don't struggle too much, you got a bleeding heart
A
And that's sad, you're mad, just call your mum and dad
B
And have them smooth a few things over, you're a growing lad
[Chorus]
E D A E
Nothing compares to the life of an underachiever
E D A E
Burdened in doubt, you're your very own self deciever
E D A E
Potential is the worst kind of spout that they'll have you believe her
E D A
And you try, and you try and you try
[Verse 2]
E
People always say be kind to yourself
B
If this is really what you wanted
B A B
Why would you try to suffocate me?
E
People always say have faith in yourself
B
If I can get out of bed I'll show ya
B A B
Just how much I can succeed
[Chorus]
E D A E
Nothing compares to the life of an underachiever
E D A E
Burdened in doubt, you're your very own self deciever
E D A E
Potential is the worst kind of spout that they'll have you believe her
E D A
And you try, and you try and you try
[Verse 3]
E
People always say look after yourself
B
If that's the trick of the play
B A B
Why the fuck did nobody tell me?
E
People always say don't belitle yourself
B
If you don't kick up a fuss
B A B
Who the hell's gonna set yourself free
[Chorus]
E D A E
Nothing compares to the life of an underachiever
E D A E
Burdened in doubt, you're your very own self deciever
