[Verse 1]
F
I got up late again today
C
And I’m scared of everything
I don’t dare to dream
Bb
I guard a dark imagination
Gm
These hours waste away
F
A debt I’ll never pay

I’m talking to the walls
C
But the walls keep caving in
They amplify my thoughts
Bb
I really want a conversation
Gm
But I let it slip away
F
A debt I’ll never pay

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                 C
Worry, worry, oh
Bb
It’s funny how it changes
Dm                         C                         F
When nothing really changes at all

[Chorus]
F
Am I jaded?
C
Am I meant to feel this way?
Dm                                     Bb
I’m a loser, getting beat by my own game
Gm                                                 F
But if I falter, well at least it was my mistake
Oh, at least it was my mistake
C
Cause I choose to be this way
Dm                                     Bb
I’m a loser, and I self-deprecate
Gm                                                             F
So when I falter, well at least it was my mistake

[Verse 2]
F
I saw my friend today
C
She tried to comfort me
But I turned her away
Bb
There’s magic in this misery
Gm
So no matter what you say
F
I don’t think I’ll ever change

Bb         Dm       C
Worry, worry, oh
Bb
It’s funny how it changes

When nothing really changes at all

Am I jaded?

Am I meant to feel this way?

I’m a loser, getting beat by my own game

But if I falter, well at least it was my mistake
Oh, at least it was my mistake
C
Cause I choose to be this way
Dm                                     Bb
I’m a loser, and I self-deprecate
Gm                                                             F
So when I falter, well at least it was my mistake

And I don’t really care about what anyone says

I don’t give a damn about what anyone says

I don’t want to think about anything

I don’t want to think about anything

And I don’t really care about what anyone says

I don’t need opinions hanging over my head

I don’t really care about anything
I don’t really care

I don’t really care at all

Am I jaded?

Am I meant to feel this way?

I’m a loser, getting beat by my own game
