[Intro]
   C                         G
Tonight, my mother said that I
                   Bb
Should never go outside
                       F
That I should run and hide
                    G#     C
Donate my brains to charity
A one, two, three

[Verse 1]
     C                          
So, I'm lost in the supermarket 
                          G
shopping for my sense of self
I wandered down the aisles tryna 
                   Bb
figure out where I disappeared to
                           F
What will I adhere to? And what 
could I appear to be?
    C
And maybe I'm with the 
strawberries, alone on the shelf
             G
Because they breathe and bleed, 
and they're sweet like me
             Bb
They hold my hand and they 
make it seem that right now
        F
In this moment, I don't
 need to be afraid

[Chorus]
   C                         G
Tonight, my mother said that I
                   Bb
Should never go outside
                       F
That I should run and hide
                    G#     C
Donate my brains to charity
C                G
I, I'd rather go blind
                       Bb
Than to look into your eyes
                    F
And tell you that I lied
                    G#      C
Donate my brains to charity

[Verse 2]
C
So I made myself sad ‘cause 
I feel comfortable here
     G
So I made myself mad because 
I don't want to steer
      Bb
To be off the rails is 
to live without fear
             F
But when you start feeling nothing, 
nothing becomes clear
           C
So, please speak, please laugh, 
please dance, please cry
     G
Feel every fuckin' tear 
that falls from your eye
          Bb
‘Cause to feel is to breathe 
and to fear is to be free
          F
And to be free is what it 
means to be successful to me

[Post-Chorus]
    C         G
And now, here alone
                   Bb
That I put into my phone
                       F
Love, I'm never coming home
                    G#      C
Donate my brains to charity
C                        G
I just feel that I'm not real
I put my hands 
                Bb
on the steering wheel
                            F
And if I crash, I'm made of steel
                    G#      C
Donate my brains to charity
