Intro: C Am7 x2
 
Verse:
          C
It was all too much, got embarrassing
           Am7
But Pandoraʼs Box canʼt be shut again
                    F                                     G
Look another win, hey, you should be enjoyinʼ this
                 F                                  G
Livinʼ in a cringe, but canʼt you be enjoying this?

         C
Like a deck of cards in the howling wind
           Am7
Pretty obvious I was crumbling
               F                                     G
Livinʼ on a cringe, but not that many have your luck
                              F                                         G
Stop ******* in the wind, now, oh, why donʼt you give a ****?
 
Chorus:
      C                  Em7
You got what you wanted
              Am7                            F
But good god, it wasnʼt what you needed
      C                  Em7
You got what you wanted
           Am7                               F
But of course, it wasnʼt what you needed
                F        G      Am7
No wonder why, why, why.
                                                 F
Youʼre bored, youʼre bored, youʼre bored
           G              Am7
Why, why, why, why.
                             C
Youʼre jumpinʼ overboard (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la)
 
Verse:
             C
Once a good friend said, looking in my eye
                  Am7
He wouldnʼt wish my life on his newborn child
                  F                                      G
Every little cringe, hey, you should be enjoying this
                          F                                        G
Stop pissinʼ in the wind, man, why arenʼt you enjoying this?
 
             C
But did I grip too tight to my past delights?
                 Am7
I guess my brain got fried, couldnʼt sleep no nights
                     F                                 G
I donʼt wanna be that drunk guy in the corner still
                    F                                      G
Holdinʼ up a phone to some poor hostage with a song
 
Chorus:
      C                  Em7
You got what you wanted
              Am7                            F
But good god, it wasnʼt what you needed
      C                  Em7
You got what you wanted
           Am7                               F
But of course, it wasnʼt what you needed
                F        G      Am7
No wonder why, why, why.
                                                 F
Youʼre bored, youʼre bored, youʼre bored
           G              Am7
Why, why, why, why.
                             C                               Am7
Youʼre jumpinʼ overboard (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la)
 
Post-chorus:
                               C                      Am7
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la)
                                                   C                               Am7
Youʼre bored, youʼre bored, youʼre bored (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la)
                                   C                                Am7
Hey, youʼre jumpinʼ overboard (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la)
 
Outro:
                       C
But, hey, whoʼs got the time for this privileged whine?
             Am7
Ainʼt not danger, Iʼll find a normal life
                  F                                              G
And no one really cares, but why arenʼt you enjoying this?
                              F                                  G
Weʼll all forget youʼre there, so canʼt you be enjoying this?
