Recorded by Taylor Swift
Album: Single (2022)

(Capo on 2)

(Intro.)
Drums x 2 bars

(Verse 1)
(G) I have this (D)thing where I get (A)older but just (Bm)never wiser
(G) Midnights be-(D)come my after-(A)noons (Bm)
(G) When my de-(D)pression works the (A)graveyard shift
 All (Bm)of the people (G) I’ve ghosted (D)stand there in the (A)room (Bm)

(Pre-chorus 1)
I (G)should not be left (D)to my own de-(A)vices
They come (Bm)with prices and (G)vices
I end (D)up in crisis (A)(Tale as old as time) (Bm)
(G) I wake up (D)screaming from dream-(A)ing
One day I’ll (Bm)watch as you’re leav-(G)ing
Cause you got (D)tired of my schem-(G)ing (For the last time)

(Chorus)
It’s (G)me, (D)hi
(A)I’m the problem, it’s (Bm)me
At (G)tea (D)time, (A)everybody a-(Bm)grees
(G) I’ll stare di-(D)rectly at the (A)sun
But never (Bm)in the mirror
It (G) must be ex-(D)hausting
Always (A)rooting for the (Bm)anti-hero

(Solo)
|(G) /(D)  / |(A) /(Bm)  / |

(Verse 2)
(G) Sometimes I (D)feel like every-(A)body is a (Bm)sexy baby
(G) And I’m a (D)monster on the (A)hill (Bm)
(G) Too big to (D)hang out, slowly (A)lurching toward your (Bm)favorite city
(G) Pierced through the (D)heart, but never (A)killed (Bm)

(Pre-chorus 2)
(G) Did you (D)hear my covert nar-(A)cissism I (Bm)disguise as al-(G)truism
Like (D)some kind of (A)congressman (Tale as old as (Bm)time)
(G) I wake up (D)screaming from dream-(A)ing
One day I’ll (Bm)watch as you’re leav-(G)ing
And life (D)will lose all its mean-(A)ing (For the last (Bm)time)

(Chorus)
It’s (G)me, (D)hi
(A)I’m the problem, it’s (Bm)me
At (G)tea (D)time, (A)everybody (Bm)agrees
(G) I’ll stare di-(D)rectly at the (A)sun
But never (Bm)in the mirror
(G) It must be ex-(D)haustin
Always (A)rooting for the (Bm)anti-hero

(Solo)
|(G) /(D)  / |(A) /(Bm)  / |

(Bridge)
(G) I have this (D)dream my daughter-(A)in-law kills me (Bm)for the money
(G) She thinks I (D)left them in the (A)will (Bm)
(G) The family (D)gathers around and (A)reads it and then (Bm)someone screams out
(G) “She’s laugh-(D)ing up at us from (A)hell!” (Bm)
It’s (G)me, (D) hi,
(A)I’m the problem, it’s (Bm)me
It’s (G)me, (D) hi
(A) I’m the problem, it’s (Bm)me
It’s (G)me, (D)hi, (A) every-(Bm)body agrees
Every-(G)body agrees (D) (A) (Bm)
 
(Chorus)
It’s (G)me, (D)hi
(A)I’m the problem, (Bm)it’s me
At (G)tea (D)time, (A)everybody a-(Bm)grees
(G)I’ll stare di-(D)rectly at the (A)sun
But never (Bm)in the mirror
(G)It must be ex-(G)hausting
Always (A)rooting for the (Bm)anti-hero.
