[Verse]
G      D            C  D
I keep myself to myself
G   D      C    D
And no one else
G     D      C           D          G   D     C   D
Knows how it feels to be me and I'm all by myself
G          D         C     D
I've got a tic and a twitch
G   D    C    D
For everything
G   D        C          D          G D         C  D
The world is made up of boxes that I don't fit in

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Sometimes when I look up
       C
At the stars I feel so alone
        Am
Because I know that no one can ever
C                 D
See the world the same way that I do

[Chorus]
G    D         C          D
I am afraid of falling in love so
  G    D C       D
I keep myself to myself
G        D          C        D
I want a cookie and I need a hug
     G     D C          D
But I keep myself to myself

[Verse]
G      D           C   D
I keep myself to myself
G   D        C  D
And when I'm sad
G D       C           D
I comfort myself with thinking that
G      D    C     D
No one understands


[Pre-Chorus]
G
Sometimes I dig through the shells
        C
At a low tide I wonder if anything
Am
Fragile could ever survive
   C                  D
In this world without getting broken

[Chorus]
G    D         C               D
I am afraid of things that can hurt so
G      D C       D
I keep myself to myself
G      D          C            D
I feel completely alone in the world
     G     D C         D
And I keep myself to myself, to myself

[Bridge]
Em    C
And so wherever I go
Em        C               D
I wear my heart uncomfortably on my sleeve

[Verse]
G                          D
I put my elbows up over my ears
     G     D C       D
And I keep myself to myself
G          D            C          D
I close my eyes and the world disappears
     G     D C         D
And I keep myself to myself

[Chorus]
     G        D           C    D
I'll never be lonely when I am alone
     G     D C         D
And I keep myself to myself
  G         D      C           D
I live in a little world of my own
     G     D C         D
And I keep myself to myself, to myself
