Intro:
 
D#m          C# 
Come on, guy 
                        F#          A# 
I promise everything'll be alright, be okay 
     D#m            C# 
Your eyes are tired, but keep 'em open 
            F#               A# 
'Cause you wouldn't want to miss a thing 
 
D#m          C# 
Come on, guy 
                        F#          A# 
I promise everything'll be alright, be okay 
     D#m            C# 
Your eyes are tired, but keep 'em open 
            F#               A# 
'Cause you wouldn't want to miss a thing 
 
Verse 1:
            D#m                  C# 
It's kinda funny how I paid for college 
      F#            A# 
When YouTube was an option 
            D#m 
But then I would've had to spend 
    C# 
My best years 
          F#              A# 
Skipping ads and readin' comments 
 
              D#m             C# 
And when the hell did advertisements get so 
 F#                    A# 
Good? They're like narcotics 
             D#m                   C# 
So now I'm spending every penny I own 
                 F#                  A# 
I should have allotted to finishing college 
 
( D#m  C#  F#  A# ) 
 
Verse 2:
            D#m               C# 
It's kinda funny how I keep debating 
              F#             A# 
If someone's shy or if they hate me 
            D#m              C# 
I feel like everyone I know right now 
           F#              A# 
Is hooking up and getting wasted 
 
(Without me) 
 
     D#m              C# 
And maybe sex is overrated 
               F#          A# 
But we're too shy to ever say it 
          D#m             C# 
So we pretend we're all amazing 
        F#                A# 
It's 3 AM, I should be sleeping 
 
 
D#m           C# 
Would you go running 
   F#           B 
If you saw the real me? 
D#m          C# 
Maybe you'd love 'em 
       F#          B 
Yeah, maybe you'd feel me 
 
    D#m        C# 
But I'll never ask you 
      B            F# 
No, that's super scary 
D#m           C# 
    Sorry to bail 
                B         F# 
It's already three o'clock 
 
D#m                 C# 
    It's too hard to tell 
               B 
If anything's real or not 
 
Verse 3:
            D#m                    C# 
It's kinda funny how you vote for someone 
             F#                  A# 
To vote for someone to vote for someone 
              D#m                 C# 
And you might end up with someone evil 
        F#           A# 
But you say that he means well 
 
       D#m            C# 
If I keep on talking politics 
     F#                    A# 
My friends'll dip, they're over it 
       D#m            C# 
If I keep on talking politics 
     F#           A# 
I'm Hamilton (Without the hits) 
 
 
D#m           C# 
Would you go running 
   F#           B 
If you saw the real me? 
D#m          C# 
Maybe you'd love 'em 
       F#          B 
Yeah, maybe you'd feel me 
 
    D#m        C# 
But I'll never ask you 
      B            F# 
No, that's super scary 
D#m           C# 
    Sorry to bail 
                B         F# 
It's already three o'clock 
 
D#m                 C# 
    It's too hard to tell 
               B 
If anything's real or not 
 
Bridge:
D#m          C# 
Come on, guy 
                        F#          A# 
I promise everything'll be alright, be okay 
     D#m            C# 
Your eyes are tired, but keep 'em open 
            F#               A# 
'Cause you wouldn't want to miss a thing 
 
( D#m  C#  F#  B ) 
( D#m  C#  F#  B ) 
 
Verse 4:
D#m        C#       F#      B 
Isn't this obvious, am I insane? 
        D#m      C# 
Let's blame our parents 
             F#         B 
'Cause they taught us their ways 
 
  D#m        C#         B          F# 
Stay out of politics, stay on the fence 
  D#m               C# 
Stay out of all of it 
    B          F# 
To keep half your fans 
 
D#m        C#       F#      B 
Isn't this obvious? Am I insane? 
       D#m          C# 
There might be two sides 
          F#        B 
To everything that you say 
 
     D#m         C# 
It's all a bit cloudy 
            B             F# 
But there's one thing I know 
        D#m             C# 
That if you're fucking racist 
            B           F# 
Then don't come to my show 
 
(No, we have to do one more) D#m 
 
Final: D#m  C#  B  F# 
        D#m  C#  B  F# 
        D#m  C#  B  F# 
        D#m  C#  B  F#
