Verse 1:
C                                            C7
Shapes in the wall don’t matter at all, I’ll make them bend to fit
F                                Fm
Efficiently, independently, your Ls grew in or up and it
     C                                       C7
This worn in hall’s where I belong, and high praise up on the stage
F                               Fm
As dozens of nameless faces are chanting my stage name

    Am                                                      F
And every single thing that you thought could help has been scrapped all
                     Am     G
up, put on the shelf again
    Am                                        F
And every single thing you’ve ever dreamed is slowly drifting
             Am     G
out of reach again

Pre-chorus 1:
F                      G                      C
Maybe it’s just a fantasy, maybe I want a family
                         C7
A wife, a job, a home, a share, the cake, or at least take my piece
F                              G                       C
Maybe I just want to grow old, maybe I just want to be told
                                 C7
“Here’s the path you’ll take, so follow to a tee!

Chorus:
F          G
Oh my God, I’m going crazy
C                  C7
Oh my God, I would kill a baby
F                     G
Just keep running and just keep fighting
C                           C7
You’ll earn your peace when you turn 90

F             G               C
Oh my God, my god's abandoned me
                C7        F
Didn’t care for codependency
            G
I see, this world doesn’t care
    C                    C7              F  G                  C  C7
But I hope you know that I’ll always be there, I’ll always be there!

Interlude: F G C C7

Verse 2:
    C                                    C7
The pain and anger comes in waves, these medicines are wrong
F                                    Fm
Slightly slower now, but still, it’s off and on
C                              C7
You can hate me all you want until the day I die
F                               Fm
Unfortunately for us, I’m still one of a kind
Am
And every single thing that you thought
                    F                                 Am     G
could help has been scrapped all up, put on the shelf again
       Am
And every single thing you’ve ever dreamed
   F                            Am     G  G7
is slowly drifting out of reach again

Verse 3:
F                       G                               C
Maybe it’s just a fever dream, maybe I should muffle my screams
                               C7
They say to “be yourself,” but who am I without the years of hell?
F                     G                                    C
Collage of people and songs, and shows and movies ‘cause I thought
                        C7
The more I pile on, the lesser chance of getting lost

F                          G                                     C
Can’t see past interest in paths, I were the boot, tip to my past
                            C7                            F
I know the future’s coming, should I settle down and just crash
                      G                       C
Into the nearest full-time position to make a dime
                            C7                        F
Except the boss will make a dollar and never value my life
G                       C    C7
Oh God, is this just my life?

Chorus:
 F                            G
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
 C                            C7
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
 F                            G
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
 C                            C7
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)

Pre-chorus:
F                      G                           C
Maybe it’s just a fantasy, maybe I just want to be free
                             C7
Ditch the shame and panic, I swear to God that I’m not manic
F                                  G                             C
I’ll take the road less travelled, pack my bags and never settle down
                        C7
-The rabbit hole we go, stepping into the unknown

Chorus:
F                                G
Don’t you worry, don’t be sorry, don’t be selfish, kamikaze
C                                 C7
Up down up down left right start, I’ll sell my soul but keep my heart
F              G
Oh my God, I’m going crazy
C                  C7
Oh my God, I would kill a baby
F                  G
Just keep running, just keep fighting
       C                    C7
You’ll earn your peace when you turn 90!

F             G              C
Oh my God, my gods abandoned me
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
                C7        F
Didn’t care for codependency
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
            G
I see, this world doesn’t care
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
    C               C7                  F
But I hope you know that I’ll always be there
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)

Outro:
                  G                    C
There’s still something worth fighting for-
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
             C7             F
-ty days and forty nights I think
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
         G           C
I feel I know I am a knight
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
          C7              F
A hand, a guard, a man, I can’t
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
             G
Believe that I’m now finding
(Now it’s all the same to me, I’ll burn down the family tree)
C
There is still something worth fighting for
