G                            Em                  C                   Cm
Now I'm noticeably dumber than I was one year ago 
Cm              G                         Em
and I would like to think it's a better thing, 
           C                         Cm                   G
but I'd tell myself almost anything these days 
                Em                  C                                   Cm
It's a little complicated—letting people down is a full time business 
G                Em                 
My shallow commitments surrounding me, 
C                   C                   Cm
I snapped my cellphone to escape 
D                        D
Now somewhere in this town 
D                                  D
there's a lynch mob for me 

G                   D                      Em              C                   
Oh, charlatan me, I can't control all these feelings (x2) 
C                                          G
It's getting hard to stand up straight

Now there's strangers in the kitchen, 
C                                              Cm
I'm dodging people like they're bullets, 
                       G                          Em                 C              Cm
'cos we're not talking, we're just practicing our smalltalk 
G                                     Em
And I've heard tips about saving face, 
C                                   D                           D
I gotta keep y'all thinking that I'm loving this place 
      D                     D        G
I don't mean to be crude, but 
D                         D             D                Em
I can't talk to you without a cigarette in my hand 
Em
as a crutch to hold me up 
C
it's my shield from all you 


G                   D                      Em              C                   
Oh, charlatan me, I can't control all these feelings (x2) 
C                                          G
It's getting hard to stand up straight
