                                F#m
My family always said I was the bad child
                           D
Throwin' me away into the bad pile
                               E
All my life been puttin' on a fake smile
                                 C#m
Sittin' on my own, feel like I'm exiled

Feelin' like I always do the wrong things
Tellin' all their friends that I'm the bad kid
Now I'm on my own, I lost my magic
Dealin' with your bullshit, now I'm over it

F#m
And you took a part of me
                          D
Left me with the memories oh
We were never a family
                                    E
Now you're standin' in front of my door-or-or-or
                              C#m
Like none of this happened at all-all-all-all

Chorus:
                                F#m
I guess I'm always gonna be the bad child
                                 D
I guess I'm always gonna be the mad child
                                     E
'Cause you will never understand my weird mind
             C#m
My weird mi-i-i-i-nd
                                      F#m
And to every single person here that doubts me
                                    D
Tellin' me that they could live without me
                                      E
'Cause they will never understand my weird mind
             C#m
My weird mi-i-i-i-nd

I've never really been the one to reach out
Actin' like my life was squeaky clean now
Like everything I do is just a letdown

Feelin' like I always do the wrong things
Tellin' all their friends that I'm the bad kid
Now I'm on my own, I lost my magic
Dealin' with your bullshit, now I'm over it

And you took a part of me
Left me with the memories, oh
We were never a family
Now you're standin' in front of my door-or-or
Like none of this happened at all, all, all

Chorus

F#m
They say I've lost my mind
They say I'll never find it
D
I think they're kinda right
In fact I kinda like it
E
They say I've lost my mind
They say I'll never find it
C#m
I think they kinda right

Chorus:
I guess I'm always gonna be the bad child
(Bad child, oh)
I guess I'm always gonna be the mad child (Oh, oh)
'Cause you will never understand my weird mind
(Oh, oh)
My weird mind (Oh)
And to every single person here that doubts me
(Oh, eh, oh)
Tellin' me that they could live without me
(Oh, oh)
'Cause they will never understand my weird mind
(Oh, oh)
My weird mind (Oh)
My family always said I was the bad child
