[Verse]

Em                   D             C
I'm caught up in the everyday trend
             G
Tied up by invisible thread
Em             D
Walking down a razor-thin edge
      C             
And I wake up tired, 
          G
think I'm better off dead
Em                      
Been a few months since 
  D                  C
I crossed over state lines  
               
Talk to my mom, 
            G
fake smiles over FaceTime
Em                   
Drink all night till   
  D                        C
I can't walk in a straight line 
                    G
Feel so low but I'm high at the same time
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

G               Bm          C
I can't keep my feet on the ground
        G      
And I'm nervous 
            Bm          C
what you'll think of me now
    G               Bm         C
I'm hoping that someone comes around
         D         Em  Bm C
Helps me figure it out
 
 
[Chorus]

  Em                  D     
I think that I should try to 
        C    G
kill my ego  
       Em         
'Cause if I don't, 
   D              C   G
my ego might kill me
    Em               D
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
    C             G
I'm acting like a freaking baby
    Em            D          C    G
I'm really not as happy as I seem
 
 
[Verse]

Em
Still a little kid 

that can't make friends
C                 
Wanna be invited, 
            D
but I won't attend
          Em
I've been having bad dreams 

my career could end
         C           
'Cause I slip up when 
                   D
I should've played pretend
Em                 
Turned eighteen and 
  D
I left the city
         C            
Said, "I wanna be cool, 
        G
I don't wanna be pretty"
    Em              D
The voices all came crashing down
           C                 
And said, "You're too nice to 
G
run this town"
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

G               Bm          C
I can't keep my feet on the ground
        G        
And I'm nervous 
            Bm          C
what you'll think of me now
    G               Bm         C
I'm hoping that someone comes around
         D         Em  Bm C
Helps me figure it out
 
 
[Chorus]

  Em                  D     
I think that I should try to  
        C   G
kill my ego
       Em         
'Cause if I don't, 
   D              C    G
my ego might kill me
    Em               D
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
    C             G
I'm acting like a freaking baby
    Em            D          C
I'm really not as happy as I seem
G               Em    D C
Nothing's as it seems
G               Em    D C G
Nothing's as it seems
        Em               D
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately
    C         
I'm acting like 
  G
a freaking baby
    Em              D           C  G
I'm really not that happy being me
 
 
[Bridge]

C
I don't like the lie 

I'm living
    D
I'm way too nice and too forgiving
  Em
I wanna go back to the beginning
                       D
When it all felt right
  C
A rooftop, Lower East Side, 

I'm singing
D
Didn't give a freak if 

I was winning
     Em
It's all done now, 

who am I kidding?
 
N.C.
I'm doing way worse 

than I'm admitting
 
 
[Chorus]

  Em                  D     
I think that I should try to 
        C    G
kill my ego
       Em         
'Cause if I don't, 
   D              C    G
my ego might kill me
    Em               D
I'm all grown up but somehow lately
    C             G
I'm acting like a freaking baby
    Em            D          C
I'm really not as happy as I seem
G               Em    D C
Nothing's as it seems
G               Em    D C G
Nothing's as it seems
        Em               D
And I'm all grown up but somehow lately
    C             G
I'm acting like a freaking baby
    Em             
I'm really not that 
D           C
happy being me
