[Verse]
B
My dad says that I’d probably have more fans
N.C.

B
Maybe show some humility

My mom sighs “wow” from under her breath
G#m

E
I can say I want to change
B
But really

B E
Well, I want to wake up and maybe be better
B
I want to come through and not be second guessed
E
I want to find the money to fix my nose
E
And learn to breathe without pacing
G#m
I don’t want to be depressed
E F#
I want to find a haircut that fits me
G#m E
That hasn’t been co-opted by Nazis
F# G#m
I’ll settle for some rest,

I want to move on
F# G#m
I want to feel more important
E
I’m trying to be fine
F# B
I swear I’m trying to be my best
B E
Well, I want to wake up and maybe be better

E F#
I want to find a haircut that fits me
