[Intro]
Gm Gm Bb C Gm Gm C Eb C [Verse 1]
Gm Gm I grew up as your usual suburbanite, Bb a tiny town in Massachusetts,
C
overwhelmingly white.
Gm I went to church on Sundays
Gm
in a suit and a tie,
Bb then spent my free time
C
watching Family Guy.
Gm I started doing comedy
Gm Bb
when I was just a sheltered kid,
C I wrote offensive sh*t, and I said it: Gm Father, please forgive me,
Gm C
for I did not realize what I did
Eb C or that I'd live to regret it. [Pre-Chorus]
Eb Bb Gm Times are changing, and I'm getting old. Bb Are you gonna hold me accountable? Gm Bb My bed is empty and I'm getting cold. Gm Bb N.C. Isn't anybody gonna hold me accountable? Uh
[Chorus] Gm Gm I'm problematic (He's a problem), Gm C when I was seventeen, on Halloween Gm Gm I dressed up as Aladdin
(He's a problem),
C N.C. I did not darken my skin, but still,

it feels weird in hindsight.
[Synth]
Gm Gm Bb C Gm Gm C Eb C [Verse 2] Gm I want to show you how I'm growing
Gm
as a person, but first
Bb I feel I must address the lyrics
C
from the previous verse.
Gm I tried to hide behind my childhood,
Gm
and that's not okay,
Bb my actions are my own,
C
I won't explain them away.
Gm I've done a lot of self-reflecting
Gm Bb
since I started singing this song,
C I was totally wrong when I said it: Gm Father, please forgive me,
Gm C
for I did not realize what I did
Eb C or that I'd live to regret it. [Pre-Chorus]
Eb Bb Gm Times are changing and I'm getting old. Gm Are you gonna hold me accountable? Eb Bb My bed is empty and I'm getting cold. Gm Gm Isn't anybody gonna hold me accountable?
N.C.
Uh
[Chorus] Gm Gm I'm problematic (He's a problem) Gm C I just remembered that Aladdin costume's Gm Gm C in my mother's attic (He's a problem)
Eb
I'm gonna go home and burn it
C N.C. or not burn it. Is burning it bad?

What should I do with it?
[Bridge]
Eb Bb And I've been totally awful, F my closet is chock-full of stuff
Gm Bb/F
that is vaguely sh*tty.
Eb Bb All of it was perfectly lawful, F just not very thoughtful at all
Gm Bb/F
and just really sh*tty.
Eb Bb And I've been totally awful, F my closet is chock-full of stuff
Gm Bb/F
that is vaguely sh*tty.
Eb Bb All of it was perfectly lawful, F N.C. just not very thoughtful at all and just really ... [Outro] Bb Gm And I'm really f*cking sorry, Dm Dm b*tch, I'm trying to listen, sh*t,

I’ve been complicit.
Bb Gm Sorry, Dm Dm if I'm gonna catch up, first,

I gotta fess up.
Bb Gm Dm Dm Sorry, Bb Gm Dm Dm sorry.
