This is a really easy one to play - pretty much the same chord progression the whole way through, just listen
to the song for the rhythm. I find that it works best if you use bar chords, particularly for the G.
The break has no real chords: I put in the Em7 and C to go with the backing vocals, but I would recommend one
strum each. The little riff that is repeated throughout the song is below. Hope you enjoy it!

[Verse 1]
C F G
I'll die way before Methuselah
C F G
So I'll fight sleep with ammonia
C F G
And every morning with eyes all red
C F G
I'll miss them for the tears they shed
[Chorus]
C F
But I'm actually good
G
Can't help it if we're tilted
C F
I am actually good
G
Can't help it if we
C F
I am actually good

Can't help it if we're tilted

G
Can't help it if we're tilted
C F G x 4
[Verse 2]
C F G
I miss prothesis and mended souls
C F G
Trample over beauty while singing their thoughts
C F G
I match them with my euphoria
C F G
When they said "Je suis plus folle que toi"
[Chorus]
C F
But I'm actually good

Nous et le man on est de sortie

Pire qu'une simple moitié on compte à demi-demi
N.C
Pile sur un des bas côtés comme des origamis
Em7
Le bras tendu paraît cassé, tout n'est qu'épis et éclis

Ces enfants bizarres
Em7
Crachés dehors comme par hasard
C
Cachant l'effort dans le griffoir

Et une creepy song en étendard, qui fait:
[Middle 8]

I'm doing my face with magic marker

I'm in my right place, don't be a downer
