 F#
I got up late again today
                       C#
And I'm scared of everything
I don't dare to dream
                  B
I got a dark imagination
                   G#m
These hours waste away
                    F#
A debt I'll never pay
I'm talking to the walls
                          C#
But the walls keep caving in
They amplify my thoughts
                       B
I really want a conversation
                  G#m
But I let it slip away
                    F#
A debt I'll never pay

 B      D#m   C#
Worry, worry, oh
      B
It's funny how it changes
      D#m                 C#   F#
When nothing really changes at all

Chorus:
       F#
Am I jaded?
                          C#
Am I meant to feel this way?
                      D#m            B
I'm a loser, getting beat by my own game
              G#m                           F#
But if I falter, well at least it was my mistake
Oh, at least it was my mistake
                           C#
Cause I choose to be this way
                 D#m          B
I'm a loser, and I self-deprecate
               G#m                            F#
So when I falter, well at least it was my mistake

I saw my friend today
She tried to comfort me
But I turned her away
There's magic in this misery
So no matter what you say
I don't think I'll ever change

Worry, worry, oh
It's funny how it changes
When nothing really changes at all

Chorus:
Am I jaded?
Am I meant to feel this way?
I'm a loser, getting beat by my own game
But if I falter, well, at least it was my mistake
Well, at least it was my mistake
'Cause I choose to be this way
I'm a loser, and I self-deprecate
So when I falter, well, at least it was my mistake

                                           C#
And I don't really care about what anyone says
                                       B
I don't give a damn about what anyone says
                                 G#m
I don't want to think about anything
                               D#m
I don't want to think about anything
                                          C#
And I don't really care about what anyone says
                                       B
I don't need opinions hanging over my head
                               G#m
I don't really care about anything
I don't really care
                      F#
I don't really care at all

Chorus:
Am I jaded?
Am I meant to feel this way?
I'm a loser, getting beat by my own game
But if I falter, well, at least it was my mistake
Well, at least it was my mistake
'Cause I choose to be this way
I'm a loser, and I self-deprecate
So when I falter, well, at least it was my mistake

Well, at least it was my mistake
Well, at least it was my mistake
