Verse 1:
      B5   D5       B5        D5           B5   D5
White shirt, cut it up, now I got a white tank
   A5           G5      B5   D5
Tattoos that my grandma hates
      B5     D5        B5   D5
I was moving at my own pace
         A5              G5           B5   D5
Now they got me running, running, rat race
     B5           D5        B5   D5
Kiss me then you spit in my face
     A5                G5         B5   D5
High notes when you're singing my praise
    B5            D5         B5   D5
Low lows, I don't get enough plays
    A5                   G5
Now they got me running, running, rat race

Pre-chorus:

 Don't need your invitation
B5
 I'm tired of the conversation
E5                     F5  Gb5
 Defy your expectations
      (nc)
Wait, I'm not patient

Chorus:
G5  B5    A5         D5         G5
 Oh-oh-oh-oh, got me chasing my tail
   B5    A5                     G5
Oh-oh-oh-oh, with no wind in my sail
   B5    A5                     D5         G5
Oh-oh-oh-oh, what's speed if it gets you nowhere?
                      B5
What's free if you're trapped with no air?
(nc)
Bang-bang and I'm off to the races

Verse 2:
    B5  D5       B5             D5            B5   D5
Bad day, gave me pills and they told me, "Meditate"
       A5            G5      B5   D5
"Oh my god, you're a genius, thanks"
     B5           D5         B5   D5
No offense, but I got my own ways
   A5                G5           B5   D5
Go running, running, running, rat race
            B5         D5          B5   D5
The world's gonna burn down in one day
        A5         G5         B5   D5
But the Daily Mail said it's okay
        B5         D5           B5   D5
If you smile first on the front page
   A5               G5
Go xxxx your stupid xxxxxx' rat race
