[Intro 1]
[Em][Em][G][Am]
[Em][Em][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
I [Em]grew up as your usual suburbanite
A tiny [G]town in Massachusetts
Over[Am]whelmingly white
I [Em]went to church on Sundays in a suit and a tie
[G]Then spent my free time
watching [Am]Family Guy
I [Em]started doing comedy
when I was just a sheltered [G]kid
I wrote offensive [Am]shit and I said it
[Em]Father, please forgive me
For I did not realize what I [Am]did
Or that I'd [C]live to re[Am]gret it

[Pre-chorus 1]
The [C]times are changing and I'm [D]getting old
[Em]Are you gonna hold[G] me accountable?
My [C]bed is empty, and I'm [D]getting cold
[Em]Isn't anybody gonna [B]hold
me accountable? (Uh)

[Chorus 1]
I'm problem[Em]atic (He's a problem)
[D]When I was 17, on Hal[Am]loween,
I dressed up as A[Em]laddin
(He's a problem)
[Am]I did not darken my skin

[Interlude 1]
But still, it feels weird in
[Em](hindsight)[Em][G][Am]
[Em][Em][Am]

[Verse 2]
I want to [Em]show you how I'm growing
as a person, but first
I feel I [G]must address the lyrics
from the [Am]previous verse
I tried to [Em]hide behind my childhood
and that's not okay
My [G]actions are my own,
I won't ex[Am]plain them away
I've [Em]done a lot of self-reflecting
Since I started singing this [G]song
I was totally [Am]wrong when I said it
[Em]Father, please forgive me
For I did not realize what I [Am]did
Or that I'd [C]live to re[Am]gret it

[Pre-chorus 2]
The [C]times are changing and I'm [D]getting old
[Em]Are you gonna hold[G] me accountable?
My [C]bed is empty, and I'm [D]getting cold
[Em]Isn't anybody gonna [B]hold
me accountable? (Uh)

[Chorus 2]
I'm problem[Em]atic (He's a problem)
[D]I just remembered that Alad[Am]din costume's
In my mother's [Em]attic (He's a ...)
I'm gonna [Am]go home and burn it
Or not [C]burn it, is [Am]burning it bad?
What should I do with it?

[Bridge 1]
And [C]I've been totally [G]awful
My closet is [D]chock-full of stuff
that is [Em]vaguely [D]shitty
[C]All of it was perfectly [G]lawful
Just not very [D]thoughtful at all
and just [Em]really [D]shitty
And [C]I've been totally [G]awful
My closet is [D]chock-full of stuff
that is [Em]vaguely [D]shitty
[C]All of it was perfectly [G]lawful
Just not very [D]thoughtful at all and just really

[Outro 1]
And I'm really fucking [G]sorry[Em]
[Bm](Bitch, I'm trying to listen)
(Shit, I've been complacent)
[G]Sorry [Em](If [Bm]I'm gonna catch up)
(First, I gotta fess up)
[G]Sorry[Em][Bm]
[G]Sorry[Em][Bm]
