Intro: Cmaj7Cm G Verse: Cmaj7 Cm G Cmaj7 Often I am upset that I cannot fall in love but I guess Cm G This avoids the stress of falling out of it Cmaj7 Cm G Cmaj7 Are you tired of me yet? I'm a little sick right now but I swear Cm G When I'm ready I will fly us out of here Chorus: Em C G Ooo oo oo, I'll cut my hair Em C G Ooo oo oo, To make you stare Em C G Ooo oo oo I'll hide my chest Em Cm G And I'll figure out a way to get us out of here Em C G Ooo oo oo x4 Verse: Cmaj7 Cm G Cmaj7 Turn off your porcelain face, I can't really think right now and this place Cm G Has too many colours enough to drive all of us insane Cmaj7 Cm G Are you dead? Sometimes I think I'm dead Cmaj7 Cause I can feel ghosts and ghouls wrapping my head Cm G But I don't wanna fall asleep just yet Chorus: Em C G Ooo oo oo My eyes went dark Em C G Ooo oo oo I don't know where Em C G Ooo oo oo, My pupils are Em Cm G But I'll figure out a way to get us out of here Bridge: Em Get a load of this monster A He doesn't know how to communicate C His mind is in a different place G Bm7 Will everybody please give him a little bit of space Em Get a load of this train wreck A C His hair's a mess and he doesn't know who he is yet Cmaj7 But little do we know, the stars G Welcome him with open arms Chorus: Em C G Ooo oo oo, Time is Em C G Ooo oo oo, Slowly Em C G Ooo oo oo, Tracing his face Em Cm G But strangely he feels at home in this place

Please do not ask for strumming patterns. Sharing online how to literally play a song (i.e. strumming, rhythm and tempo) is not allowed by the MPA (Music Publishers Association) because of copyright issues.
Carefully listen to the song and try to really "feel" the rhythm. Once you get the basics of strumming, I can assure you it'll go real quick. Maybe the strumming guide can help you on your way.

if you don’t want it to sound exactly like the song I normally do this:
cmaj7: ddud
cm: ddud
g: ddud *slap* dud
This song is kind of my life all I’ve done so far is cut my hair, I don’t know who I am yet, and I hope I get welcomed with open arms
For strumming, i just listen to the song and find a nice pattern I like, but you could always look for a pattern.
A good strumming pattern for this song is
Cmaj7: ⬇️⬇️then quick ⬆️
Cm: ⬇️⬇️then quick ⬆️
G: ⬇️⬇️⬆️⬇️⬇️
Your name is everything
i’m just now learning how to play the joe and this really helped me on how i should be playing!
What is a joe
what the frick is the strumming pattern please
D-DUDU works best for me
I found out on my second try of the song, it feels a lot less awkward
I.Fricken.LOVE THIS SONG ANDITS STRMMING
Thank you
actually it’s ↓ ↓ ↑ but you play it slowly
in the ↑ ↓ u change the chords
for the last chord (G) you play ↓↓↓↓↑
I use:
cmaj7- D DDU
cm- D DDU
g- D DDUDDUDDU
hey dude, actual strumming pattern from a yt tutorial that’s really easy!
cmaj7 – d-du
cm – d-ddu
g – ddddududu!
I found that
Cmaj7- D DDU
Cm- D DDU
G- D DDUUDUUDU
Sounded the best to me
The strumming pattern I use is pretty much the same besides for the g chord for that I go d-ddud-ddud idk it just worked better for me and my coordination or whatever doesn’t quite understand the actual strum pattern.
A tip; don’t use a pick! The song is really soft and picks kinda destroy that.
I replace some of the Cm with Eb just to make it ring a little more
What’s the strumming pattern, I usually find it harder to identify the strumming patterns than the actual cords
when i strum all i do is DUDU but like i do a more sped up DUDU when i reach the G cord if that helps anyone
Cmj7:d du Cm:d dudu G:d d udd ududu
I think it sounds good with down strums but after the oo part do an extra g chord
For the final OOOOs I plucked the c string, e string, a string, g string then switched chords as it progressed. Then for the final em, cm, g I plucked only c/e/a strings then switched to cm where i plucked every string. g was a simple down stroke. :)
Thank you so much!!!:))
this is the official trans guy anthem haha
lmao so true.
Mood.
YUP hsjcjsmcksnx
this song isnt about being transgender its about cavetowns struggles with anxiety and being aromantic
It’s.. Literally about being trans. “I’ll hide my chest”, that’s something trans guys do. It’s called binding. I don’t see how this is about being aromantic.
I think you are right but also wrong. This song does talk about aromantic people you know that he cant fall in love but it also talks about cutting his hair and hiding his chest and being sick. Sick stands for body dysphoria. Hiding his chest is about chest binding and cutting his hair is self explanatory. So maybe this song is about an aromantic trans guy.
this one talks about trans people but slightly mentions aromantic stuff. mainly trans things, because of the whole ‘I’ll cut my hair’ and ‘I’ll hide my chest’
It is about being Transgender,
As a trans guy myself all this checks the boxes.
“hide my chest,” “Cut my hair,” And the use of “Are you tired of me yet,”
All of these point to a trans FTM guy who is going through his journey.
wow you’re exposing us
That is so offensive to some people.
