[verse 1]
C#                 G#
  I'm a dumb teen boy
      F                   F#
I eat sticks and rocks and mud
        C#              G#
I don't care about the government
      F             F#
And I really need a hug
       C#
I feel stupid (stupid)
G#
Ugly (ugly)
   F              F#
Pretend it doesn't bother me
    C#        G#
I'm not very strong but
     F                    F#
I'll fuck you up if you're mean to bugs

[verse 2]
C#              G#              F             F#
  It's getting cold down here underneath the weather
          C#                  G#
I skipped class to sit with you
         F               F#
I really like your spotty sweater
   C#            G#
If ladybugs are girls
       F              F#
How do you make kids together?
          C#                G#
What's it like in a female world
      F                F#
I bet it's just so much better

[pre-chorus]
D#7
  I just turned fourteen
      F#7                           C#
And I think this year I'm gonna be mean

[chorus]
      F                  F#                   G#

C#   F                   F#                   G#
  I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
C#       F                 F#                    G#
  Don't message me cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
C#                    F                       F#

[verse 3]
C#                 G#
  I'm a dumb teen boy
      F          F#
All I wanna do is quit
       C#                  G#
My mum told me that she's worried
      F                F#
And I couldn't give a shit
       C#                G#
I have friends who understand me
      F                F#
Their names are spider, beetle, bee
     C#         G#
They don't say much but
F               F#
They have always listened to me

[verse 4]
    C#             G#
The other boys at school
           F                F#
Think it's cool to hate your parents
            C#             G#
But they're lying all the time
           F                  F#
The bugs advised that I should let 'em
    C#             G#
And if you wanna cry
          F              F#
Make sure that they never see it
   C#            G#
Or even better yet
         F            F#
Block it out and never feel it
