[Verse]
F
I’m taking my time in the back of a room
                                Eb
Don’t assume I’m as cold as I seem
F
Widen the eyes, show the teeth, 
holding hands
                   Eb         
like it’s planned, how do they
                  F
 know what they mean
F
I go up to a friend grab his 
arm what’s the code
                                     Eb
I should know? do you struggle like me
        F
he says finish your drink, 
then we’ll bounce, get it down
        Eb                      
hit the town I still don’t know
        F
 what he means

[Pre-Chorus]
F
Am i
Eb                      F
Missing something vital here?
Cause I
Eb                      F
Woke up feeling kind of weird

[Chorus]
Bbm7
Guess I’ll just pretend, play along
          Eb             
Till they figure it out, 
I don’t quite belong
F
Mmmm, mmmm
Bbm7
Fake it till you make it but
 I’m getting it wrong
           Eb              
think I’ve figured it out 
I don’t quite belong
F
Mmmm, mmm

[Verse]
F
Suddenly face to a face, man to man
                             Eb
understand? I say yes but I don’t
F
It’s working a charm, here take this,
 you’ll be wired
        Eb                         F
But I’m tired, I’d rather smoke it alone
F
In goes the drink and the fire and out
                                    Eb
Comes the doubt and the stutter and shame
F
I chew over a word,
 but it’s wrong, No I’m fine,
           Eb   
What’s the time, 
                            F
I think I’m done with this game
