Also, in the TikTok, he uses the vi chord for one line in the chorus. I think this sounds better than the
YouTube version and the line would look like this if it was used in the YouTube key:

        Bb         C            F            Dm
And the news says "shit, who do we blame for this?"



[Verse 1]

    F         Bb        C            F
Goodmorning cicadas I knew your song well
     F        Bb           C          F
When I hadn't aged and had secrets to tell
     F             Bb             C             F
When flag polls at school sailing like sailboat masts
    F              Bb       C            F
The tune that they hum is a thing of the past
    F          Bb       C              F
But now it's a Monday I guess I'm just fine
      F          Bb          C         F
But I get in the car to just go sit inline
    F          Bb            C        F
The interstate traffic backs up to my lawn
     F            Bb           C            F
So I sit and complain 'till my coffee's all gone


[Chorus]

        Bb   C             F       Bb
And the city yells and the factory bells
        Bb     C           F
Tell us all another day's here
        Bb         C            F            Bb
And the news says "shit, who do we blame for this?"
        Bb         C       F
Then we get up and do it again


[Verse 2]

   F              Bb             C         F
On Wallstreet, my classmates all hustle to work
           F        Bb          C             F
With their business de-grees and tight pencils skirts
   F       Bb         C            F
Sorority sisters with ink on their chests
  F        Bb           C              F
Fraternity brothers all stare at their breasts
F           Bb        C          F
Down by the river the daysailers sail
    F        Bb      C             F
And fake IDs rush to college kid's mail
      F             Bb         C          F
While broadway sensations wait tables for change
    F             Bb          C          F
And poor homeless fellas all yell at the rain

[Chorus]

        Bb   C             F       Bb
And the city yells and the factory bells
Bb      C     F
Tell us all another day's here
        Bb         C            F            Bb
And the news says "shit, who do we blame for this?"
Bb      C          F
Then we get up and do it again


[Verse 3]

    F          Bb           C           F
Meanwhile, the jesus-freaks damn subway tweakers
     F           Bb             C          F
They baptize the girls in their warm white sneakers
F              Bb       C          F
Far from their world on highschool bleachers
          Bb       C       F     Dm
Screaming mom just hear my song
          Bb       C       F
Screaming mom just hear my song

[Humming interlude]

F Bb C F x7

F


[Chorus]

        Bb   C             F       Bb
And the city yells and the factory bells
        Bb     C           F
Tell us all another day's here
        Bb         C            F            Bb
And the news says "shit, who do we blame for this?"
        Bb      C        F   Dm
Then we get up and do it aga--in
        Bb      C        F   Dm
Then we get up and do it aga--in
Bb      C          F
Then we get up and do it again
