C#m  B   E   A  D
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh ooh

[Verse 1]
C#m
Problem child, problem's mine (Yeah)
B
Tried to fit in all the time (Yeah)
E
Even now I see the flashback, (Uh)
A              D
life a stage I missed the lines
      C#m
Don't miss the times when my own friends
B
pretended I didn't exist befriended liars,
E
just some kids the words used defending lies
A                       D
fuck 'em man, I hope that agenda dies because
         C#m
it's some, nature versus nurture shit,
           B
my mother birthed a hurtin' son of a gun
                           E
That's why this verse felt relevant,

I'm adamant the person I was (Yeah)
     A                          D
deep inside a different version of the person
                     C#m
I loved, they made a brown kid dummy like
                       B
my writing is shit, no shit, then adolescence

was just burning the wick, waitin' for
E
time tickin' 'til it tie me up in its grip
          A         D
Workin' a 9-5 shift like I'm done with

this shit, cause

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
I started fires
       B
In the 3rd grade
              E
Yellin' rebel nothings
                   A          D
Thinking they were something, yeah
        C#m                        B
And the pain wouldn't slide on the birthdays
              E
Recess or the lunch breaks
                 A
Couldn't tell me nothing

[Chorus]
                    B
Still can't tell me nothing
                    F#
Still can't tell me nothing
               C#
Fuck your damn assumptions
                                B
I won't keep my cool, tell me nothin'
                   F#
Still cant tell me nothin'
                  C#
I'll just take my money (I take it)

To keep my cool

[Interlude]
       C#m  B  E  A D

C#m
Modern man, modern plans,
B
I don't need your modern scams
E

A               D

C#m

      B

              E
feminine touch, and soon enough I'll be
                         A
sending em damage till I say that a
        D
million won't be enough
        C#m
yeah my following ain't big but I'm looking
           B
to buff me up, but I don't wanna white collar
           E
fucking it up for me, I'm all authentic,
       A                    D
broke, ambitious and my car dented yeah,
           C#m
So I gotta drive like nobody, nobody taking
   B

A              D

[Chorus]
                    B
Still can't tell me nothing
                    F#
Still can't tell me nothing

[Outro]
          A#m                    A
I keep my cool, don't say a word
                     C#
They'll be back in a moment,
                                    A#m
when it's your moment, just keep it cool,
                     A
separate from the herd, and at first you'll
   C#
be lonely, till they all hone-in
                          C#m  B  E  A D
Say tell me nothing, yeah
