Tom: C
C
Hands pressed to your thighs as if you could protect
G Am
Them from the thoughts that you've had that conspire against them
F
Even though you need them to get by
C G
Last chance, be a kid with a cereal box
Am
Had a dream in your head but you woke up and lost it
F
And you only get a few more candles
C
Before you're too old to try again, to be a wreck
G Am
To get the sympathy of friends who see that you're not there yet
F
But they say that you'll get there
[Chorus]
C
And then all of a sudden you're a bad liar
G
'Cause you said that it will get better
Am
But all of a sudden it's a trashfire
F
And you can't put it out, can't put it out
C
All of a sudden you're a hostage
G
To things you thought you wanted
Am
All of a sudden you're a hot mess
F
And you can't sweat it out, can't sweat it out
C G Am F
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
C
Gets tough being young
G
But you do it for kicks
Kinda hate how it taste
Am
But you eat it with chopsticks
Existentialist
F
You wanna know what all of this is
C
Four more months
It's just a season
G
Cut your loss
You'll start to think that
Am
Things you have are things you lose
F
It's normal but it's not the truth
[Chorus]
C
And all of a sudden you're a bad liar
G
'Cause you said that it will get better
Am
But all of a sudden it's a trashfire
F
And you can't put it out, can't put it out
C
All of a sudden you're a hostage
G
To things you thought you wanted
Am
All of a sudden you're a hot mess
F
And you can't sweat it out, can't sweat it out
C G Am F
Oh, oh, oh
C G Am F
Oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
C
And all of a sudden you're a bad liar
G
All of a sudden it's a trashfire
Am
But if anybody treats you like a hazard
F
You're the one with your thumb on the lighter
