[Verse 1]
N.C. D
I used to get angry
A G
Goddamn I used to get so angry
A
I used to punch things, break things
G D
It really used to fucking scare me
[Verse 2]
D
I used to be so lonely
A G
I used to be so unhappy
A G
I drowned myself in wine
D
I don't wanna feel anything
[Chorus 1]
A G
I drowned myself in wine

Don't wanna feel anything

I drowned myself in wine
N.C. D
I used to be so unhappy

I used to go to college

[Verse 4]

But now I'm a drop out

But I am pretty proud of what I'm doing with my life now

[Bridge 1]
G A
And I have learned
D Hm
To stop measuring my self-worth
G A D
By the standards set by a culture that I want no part of
G A D Hm
If I had stayed on the path that they had made
G A D
Well I don't know if I would have survived it
[Verse 5]
D
So now I am not lonely
A G
Cause I have found a community
A G
Of folks who won't let this culture tell them
D
Who they are supposed to be
[Verse 6]
D
And I feel angry
A G
It's cause this system that's obsessed with productivity
A G
Has tried to tell us that the value of a human can be measured
D
In spreadsheets
[Bridge 2]
A G
Told the boys to be strong and not to cry
D* A* G*
Told the girls to just shut the fuck up
D* A* G*
But we won't shut the fuck up
[Chorus 3]
A G D
We will kick and scream till you stop telling us who we're supposed to be
A G D
Cause I'm not supposed to be anything
A G
But I am closer every day
D
To the person that I wanna be
