Fm
I've been scared to stop and survey
Fm
All the choices that I made
Fm
Like I've barely beat addiction
Fm
But I keep the price I paid

           Dbm           Ab
And if I'm older, if I'm jaded
                  Eb
And now that I've made it for so long
Ebm         Db
Playing someone else's game
Ab          N.C.
And singing someone else's song
             Fm
And if my pencil and my anger
Fm
Can agree to summarize

Fm           Db
If I'm real, I know
     Ab          Eb
I'll never be surprised

[Chorus]
               Db
It seems like everybody, everybody
Fm
Makes the same mistakes
               Db
It seems like everybody, everybody's
     Fm
Just so fuckin' fake
            Db
And I'm a hypocrite, I know
     Fm                 Ab
With that button down below
        Db               Eb                 Fm
Just be careful when you choose to take the bait

[Verse 2]
Fm
So with our little lies, we optimize
Fm
The pictures on the screen
Am
And we don't talk about the high we get
Fm
From knowing who might see

Fm              Db
And like a king who loves his throne
Ab             Eb
I know the guilty will excuse
               Db        Ab
How we project our insecurities
       Eb                      N.C.
And we know it gets more views

         Fm
Tell the children in my church
Fm
That mediocrity's unique

          Db             Ab             Eb
And I can sell the validation that they seek

[Chorus]
               Db
It seems like everybody, everybody
Fm
Makes the same mistakes
               Db
It seems like everybody, everybody's
     Fm
Just so fuckin' fake
            Db
And I'm a hypocrite, I know
             Fm         Ab
With that button down below
        Db               Eb                 Fm
Just be careful when you choose to take the bait

[Bridge]
N.C.
I didn't enjoy this
N.C.
Breaking my excuses down
Fm
I know why I avoid it
Fm
Comfortable to sell a sound
Fm
And if I hold to honesty
Fm
I fell for my own con, but see

N.C.
That shit that I was then is over now

[Chorus]
               Db
It seems like everybody, everybody
Fm
Makes the same mistakes
               Db
It seems like everybody, everybody's
     Fm
Just so fuckin' fake
            Db
And I'm a hypocrite, I know
     Fm                 Ab
With that button down below
        Db               Eb
Just be careful when you choose
    Db                        Eb
You never know what you might lose
        Db               Eb                 Fm
Just be careful when you choose to take the bait
