A    D    G6    D

[Verse 1]
A
Catch me in my element
A
I'm always irrelevant
D                                   G6
I'm always the elephant at a party
G6
Don't need another man
G6
I don't wanna shake your hand
D                                          A
I don't care or give a damn, I want forty
A
Forty ounces of my pain
A
Forty nights and forty days
D                                       G6
Forty ways to say "I don't feel sorry"
G6
Lace up your Timberlands
G6                       D
Step on my heart again
D
I'll never let you in

[Chorus]
            A             D
I'm always the first to laugh when it hurts
              G6
I don't know what's worse
    D                              A
Pretending to care with just words

[Verse 2]
A
I'm my own worst enemy
A
I'm my favorite centerpiece
D                                             G6
Whatever, at least I'm tryna' be myself more
G6
I hate a compliment
G6
When it don't make any sense
D
When it don't have sustenance
                   A
Don't tell me more
A
About how we could be
A
In an activity
D                                             G6
With your body up against my body, what for?
G6
A holy trinity
G6
Me, myself, and I could be
D
If we ever can agree

[Chorus]
            A             D
I'm always the first to laugh when it hurts
              G6
I don't know what's worse
    D                              A           D
Pretending to care with just words

[Bridge]
A
  I need some oxygen
                          D
You're a bit too close again
G6
  Lace up your Timberlands
                       D
You've got a big walk in

[Chorus]
            A             D
I'm always the first to laugh when it hurts
              G6
I don't know what's worse
    D
Pretending to care
            A             D
I'm always the first to laugh when it hurts
              G6
I don't know what's worse
    D                              A
Pretending to care with just words

[Outro]
A
Step on my heart again (heart again, on my heart again)
D
I'll never let you in (let you in, let you in)
G6
Step on my heart again (heart again, on my heart again)
D
I'll never let you in
