Tell Me Nothing

               C#m  B   E   A  D
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo

 A  D


[Verse 1]
C#m
Problem child, problem's mine (Yeah)
B
Tried to fit in all the time (Yeah)
E
Even now I see the flashback, (Uh)
A              D
life a stage I missed the lines
      C#m
Don't miss the times when my own 
friends
B
pretended I didn't exist befriended 
liars,
E
just some kids the words used 
defending lies
A                       D
fuck 'em man, I hope that agenda 
dies because
         C#m
it's some, nature versus nurture 
shit,
           B
my mother birthed a hurtin' son of a
 gun
                           E
That's why this verse felt relevant,

I'm adamant the person I was (Yeah)
     A                          D
deep inside a different version of 
the person
                     C#m
I loved, they made a brown kid dummy
 like
                       B
my writing is shit, no shit, then 
adolescence

was just burning the wick, waitin' 
for
E
time tickin' 'til it tie me up in 
its grip
          A         D
Workin' a 9-5 shift like I'm done 
with

this shit, cause

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
I started fires
       B
In the 3rd grade
              E
Yellin' rebel nothings
                   A          D
Thinking they were something, yeah
        C#m                        
And the pain wouldn't slide on the 
B
birthdays
Continues after the ad
              E
Recess or the lunch breaks
                 A
Couldn't tell me nothing

[Chorus]
                    B
Still can't tell me nothing
                    F#
Still can't tell me nothing

Fuck your damn assumptions

  B

                   F#
Still cant tell me nothin'
                  C#

To keep my cool
