[Verse 1]
                   Em    
I don't wanna feel better
                    G                      
No one's ever gonna love me like that again
                  Am/C    
I don't wanna get over you
                       B7  
I wanna sit with you in bed
                  Em     
I don't wanna feel better
                     G             
I'd give anything to miss you again
                  Am/C   
I don't wanna get over it
                       B7   
I wanna get under it instead

[Verse 2]
    G                                           
The book sits on top of clean and messy blankets
     Em                              
On a bed that fuckin' creaks at night
When I get in it late
            G                          
And late at night I'm chugging Gatorade
                                       Em
And someone's breaking up when I crack up
Because I know I'll never know just what to say
      G                     
I'm a communist, a terrorist
An MPDG thot
         Bm7                    
Or I'm a sad girl in a dorm room
                                        G        
Living out the shady Christian plot of "Twilight"
Or "The Bible" or "The Lover" by Duras
            D7                    
Or I'm just really fuckin' selfish
And really fuckin' lost

[Chorus]
            C       
But someone loved me
                Bm7     
Someone fucking loved me
                G       
Someone fucking loved me
                         B7 
And I fuckin' loved them too
                  C              
Goddamn it, I was worth something
          Bm7              
I fuckin' learned something
         G   
I had my cake
I ate it
   F#     F  
It ate me too
        Em
And god no

[Spoken]
[Riff]
I don't wanna feel better
*Sharp breathing*
                    Em     
(I don't wanna feel better)
                      G              
(I'd give anything to miss you again)
                   Am/C    
(I don't wanna get over it)
                   B7     
(I wanna rip it to shreds)

[Verse 3]
            G                   
We kept our liquor in a suitcase
Underneath my bed
       Em                                             
And we drank it to go out or to stay in or to feel sad
         G                                             
But in a hot way, a way you’ll fucking never have again
    Em                  
The sun has begin to set
      G                                   
I’m a socialist, marxist, libertarian slut
        Bm7                                                             
I am an awkward teenage virgin and I swear to kind of laugh a lot in bed
          G                                      
But other times I cry, or don’t have noise at all
            D7                                       
I’d give my life to have a room that feels that small

[Chorus]
               C       
'Cause someone loved me
                Bm7     
Someone fucking loved me
                G       
Someone fucking loved me
             B7 
I loved them too
                  C              
Goddamn it, I was worth something
          Bm7             
I fuckin' earned something
        G           
I had a right to die
A right to live
  D7                  
A right to choose, too
        G  
And God no!

[Spoken]
Of course, I don't wanna feel better *Laugh*
                 Em     
Can you fucking imagine?
Em    Am/C B7
G     Am/C B7
Em

[Verse 4]
No one's ever gonna love me like that again
                  Am/C   
I don't wanna get over it
                B7             
I wanna rip the stars to shreds
                   Em    
I don't wanna feel better

[Riff]
   G             
Of course it hurt
Of course it fuckin' hurt
             Em                            
It hurt like nothing in the world sometimes
                       GF#
That I was super scared
                  G          
And we were all a train-wreck
And also somehow making it
                   Em              
I think I might've died there twice
And I would do it all again
      G                                  
I'm a nihilist, a soldier, an OCD-machine
         Bm7              
Or I'm a healthy baby-girl
Who traded sunshine for disease
            G                       
But when my head hit my cheap pillow
I could tell I had a heart
            D7                               
And I wanna tear this fascist Milky Way apart

[Chorus]
               C       
'Cause someone loved me
                Bm7     
Someone fuckin' loved me
              G                             B7  
All my filthy life I loved someone I barely knew
                  C              
Goddamn it, I was worth something
          Bm7              
I fuckin' learned something
            G                                  B7  
And it felt better in my mouth than fresh warm food
Em

[Bridge]
I guess I loved you
I guess I really loved you
Bm7           G                                 
All my filthy life I loved someone I barely knew
    Em              G    
And now you're over there
And I'm way over here
        B7      Em 
What am I gonna do?
Em Bm7 x5

[Verse 5]
                   Em    
I don't wanna feel better
                    Bm7                    
No one's ever gonna love me like that again
                  Em      
I don't wanna get over you
                        Bm7
I wanna sit with you in bed
                   Em    Bm7
I don't wanna feel better
                    Em     Bm7
(I don't wanna feel better)
