Part I: I'm Freaking Out
VERSE 1
A5 (strumming) My name is Billie and I'm freaking out, E5 G#5 A5 B5 I thought before I was and I can't get it figured out. E5 A5 E5 I sit alone with my thoughts and prayers, E5 G#5 A5 B5 E5 B5 Screaming my memories as if I was never there. CHORUS 1
C#5 E5 B5
Standing at the edge of the world, C#5 E5 B5 It's giving me the chills. C#5 E5 B5 Looking down the edge of the world, A5 B5 E5 A5 Lost in a tangle, it's freaking me out. A5 B5 E5 Burning lights and Blackouts,
POST-CHORUS
E5 B5 A5
Ooh ooh ooh B5 From the edge of the world,
E5 B5 A5
Ooh ooh ooh B5 From the edge of the world. VERSE 2
A5 (strumming) I'm like a punk rocker on labor day, E5 G#5 A5 B5 How the hell did I work so hard to be born this way? E5 A5 E5 I never learned to read or write so well, E5 G#5 A5 B5 But I can play the guitar until it hurts like hell. CHORUS 1 C#5 E5 B5 Standing at the edge of the world, C#5 E5 B5 It's giving me the chills. C#5 E5 B5 Looking down the edge of the world, A5 B5 E5 A5 Lost in a tangle, it's freaking me out. A5 B5 E5 Burning lights and Blackouts,
POST-CHORUS
E5 B5 A5
Ooh ooh ooh B5 From the edge of the world,
E5 A5 B5
Ooh ooh ooh B5 From the edge of the world. BRIDGE 1
