E
People always say be true to yourself
B
In the ideal situation I'd be anyone else but me
A
It's fine, your fragile state of mind
B
Is just a part of growing up you'll look back on this time
    E
And,laugh,your struggle is your art
B
But don't struggle too much, you got a bleeding heart
A
And that's sad, you're mad, just call your mum and dad
B
And have them smooth a few things over, you're a growing lad


[Chorus]
E                       D         A       E
Nothing compares to the life of an underachiever
E                       D         A       E
Burdened in doubt, you're your very own self deciever
E                       D         A       E
Potential is the worst kind of spout that they'll have you believe her
         E           D       A
And you try, and you try and you try

[Verse 2]
E
People always say be kind to yourself
B
If this is really what you wanted
B                              A B
Why would you try to suffocate me?
E
People always say have faith in yourself
B
If I can get out of bed I'll show ya
B                           A B
Just how much I can succeed

[Chorus]
E                       D         A       E
Nothing compares to the life of an underachiever
E                       D         A       E
Burdened in doubt, you're your very own self deciever
E                       D         A       E
Potential is the worst kind of spout that they'll have you believe her
         E           D       A
And you try, and you try and you try

[Verse 3]
E
People always say look after yourself
B
If that's the trick of the play
B                                A B
Why the fuck did nobody tell me?
E
People always say don't belitle yourself
B
If you don't kick up a fuss
B                                     A B
Who the hell's gonna set yourself free

[Chorus]
E                       D         A       E
Nothing compares to the life of an underachiever
E                       D         A       E
Burdened in doubt, you're your very own self deciever
E                       D         A       E
Potential is the worst kind of spout that they'll have you believe her
         E           D       A
And you try, and you try and you try
