    [Verse 1]
Em               C Am
I'm not a bad guy
    Bm                   Em                 C      Am
So don't treat me bad if I'm feeling sad, alright?
B                    Em                    C        Am
Please don't be mad if I don't smile back, alright? 
       B                      Em                  C     Am
If I fuck up my words, don't think I'm absurd, alright?
B
Alright?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em          C
I'm physically exhausted
Am            B
Tired of my knuckles beating
Em           C                 Am
I'm chewing gum to pass this time
          B                 Em
Sadness, can't you see it?
            C              Am
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
      B                  Em
Look at how I'm feeling
              C                 B
You write me up and say it's love
B
And I can't believe it
 
[Chorus]
Em             C            Am     B
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
Em                C                 Am          B
I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension
Em                C            Am      B
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Em             C               Am      B
Pretending everything's alright is detention
Em   C
De-detention
Am   B
De-detention
Em              C                B
Pretending everything's all right is (shh)
 
[Verse 2]
       Em               C        Am
The teachers don't care about me
B                     Em       C        Am B
Fuck how I feel, as long as I make money
  Em            C                Am     B
They let them do whatever they want to me
            Em                         C
They're the customer, I'm chopped meat
Am              B
I'm chopped meat
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em          C
I'm physically exhausted
Am            B
Tired of my knuckles beating
Em           C                 Am
I'm chewing gum to pass this time
          B                 Em
Sadness, can't you see it?
            C              Am
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
      B                  Em
Look at how I'm feeling
              C                 B
You write me up and say it's love
B
And I can't believe it

Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Em             C               Am      B

Em              C                B
