[D D A A F# F# G G]×2


(Verse 1)

D D A A
I’m a dumb teen boy

F# F# G G
I eat sticks and rocks and mud

D D A A
I don’t care about the government

F# F# G G
And I really need a hug

D D
I feel stupid (stupid)

A A
Ugly (ugly)

F# F# G G
Pretend it doesn’t bother me

D D A A
I’m not very strong but

F# F# G G
I’ll fuck you up if you’re mean to

bugs


[D D A A F# F# G G]×4


(Verse 2)

D D A A
It’s getting cold down here

F# F# G G
Underneath the weather

D D A A
I skipped class to sit with you

F# F# G G
I really like your spotty sweater

D D A A
If ladybugs are girls

F# F# G G
How do you make kids together?

D D A A
What’s it like in a female world?

F# F# G G
I bet it’s just so much better



(Pre-chorus)

E7 E7
I just turned fourteen

G G
And I think this year I'm gonna be

mean



(Chorus)

D D F# F#
Don't mess with me

G G A A
I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary

D D F# F#
I punch my walls

G G A A
Stay out at night and I do karate

D D F# F# G G
Don't message me 'cuz I won't reply

A A
I wanna make you cry

D D F# F#
Ain't that how it's s'posed to be

G G
Though it isn't me

A A
Boys will be bugs right?

D D A A F# F# G G

D D A A F# F# G G
Boys will be bugs right?


(Verse 3)

D D A A
I’m a dumb teen boy

F# F# G G
All I wanna do is quit

D D A A
My mum told me that she’s worried

F# F# G G
And I couldn’t give a shit

D D A A
I have friends who understand me

F# F# G G
Their names are spider, beetle, bee

D D A A
They don’t say much but

F# F# G G
They have always listened to me

D D A A F# F# G G

(Verse 4)

D D A A
The other boys at school

F# F# G G
Think it’s cool to hate your parents

D D A A
But they’re lying all the time

F# F# G G
The bugs advised that I should let ’em

D D A A
And if you wanna cry

F# F# G G
Make sure that they never see it

D D A A
Or even better yet

F# F# G G
Block it out and never feel it



(Pre-chorus)

E7 E7
I just turned fourteen

G G
And I think I know everything



(Chorus)

D D F# F#
Don't mess with me

G G A A
I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary

D D F# F#
I punch my walls

G G A A
Stay out at night and I do karate

D D F# F# G G
Don't message me 'cuz I won't reply

A A
I wanna make you cry

D D F# F#
Ain't that how it's s'posed to be

G G
Though it isn't me

A A
Boys will be bugs right?

D D A A F# F# G G
Boys will be bugs right?
