[Intro]
Dm    F/C    Bdim Bb  Am C

[Verse 1]
Dm
I spent today winning arguments
         Dm
against no one in my head
                 F/C
I did great, you should've
been there
F/C
That was a joke
     F/C
See, no one ever leaves
when they're company
            Bdim
There's my audience,
           Bb
there's my arrogance
              Am            C
The world revolves around me,
sleeping soundly

[Pre-Chorus]
      Dm
I got home last night on a red-eye
        Dm
I'm the last one left on
my good side
          Bdim
Yeah, I'm reflecting back
        Bb
But I'm bad at that
            Am
So I'll say fuck the past
    C
And don't forget yourself

[Chorus]
          Dm
It's like that, that, that, that
Banging in my head like
Dm
bap-bap-bap-bap
                         C
Feelings in the light go bad,
bad, bad, bad
                         C
Headlights in my eyes go black,
black, black, black
          Bdim
Yeah, you said it:
    Bb              Am
I'm magnetic to the things
           C
I hate the most
     Dm
It's bad, bad, bad, bad
                       Dm
Teasing on myself like na-na-na-na
        C
Driving slow, yeah,
I'm losing myself
            C
Don't trust nobody else
It's 'cause
           Bdim
'Cause you said it:
    Bb               Am
I'm magnetic to the things
           C
I hate the most

[Verse 2]
        Dm
Now I'm walking through
my heart shaped door
Dm
Singing,
"Is it me you're looking for?"
     F/C
Pink velvet on my bedroom floor
F/C
You're all I want and more
        Bdim
But you said it:
    Bb              Am
I'm magnetic to the things
           C
I hate the most

[Pre-Chorus]
  Dm
I spent today insubordinate
          Dm
Yeah, I'm fucking up,
I'm recording it
       F/C
I'm projecting big through
a tiny screen
          F/C
Where I'm stacking up my reality
        Bdim                Bb
Yeah, I see the posts and I see
the tweets
                  Am
I see his fucking face but
he's not me
C
So listen to me

[Outro]
        Dm
Now I'm walking through my
star-shaped morgue
         Dm
Singing, "What the fuck'd
I do it for?"
      Dm
Heard voices from my closet door
Dm
"You're all we want and more"
          Bdim
Yeah, you said it:
    Bb               Am
I'm magnetic to the things
           C
I hate the most
