Ab
There ought to be a town somewhere
Fm            Eb  Db
Named for how I  feel
Ab
Yea I could be the Mayor dowm there
        Fm         Eb      Db
And say welcome to Sorryville
Ab
It wouldn't be on a map nowhere
          Fm             Eb     Db
You might say it that it don't exist

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



Bb
But if you make enough wrong turns
Db              Eb
It'd be hard to miss
Ab
There ought to be a bridge somewhere
            Fm   Eb   Db
They could dedicate to me
Ab
I'd probably come to the ceremony
       Fm     Eb  Db
With a can of gasoline
Ab
Walk on over to the other side
    Fm        Eb        Db
And there I'd light a match
Bb
And sit and stare through the smoke and the flames
Db                               Eb
Wondering how I'm ever gonna get back
Db              Ab
Why do I do the things I do
     Bbm                      Fm
Was I born this way am I am a self made fool
Db                     Ab
I shoot the lights and curse the dark
Bbm                    Fm
I need your love but I break your heart
     Db                       Ab
And I know the words that'll bring you back
      Bbm                    Fm
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
  Db                    Ab                Bb
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
Db       Eb         Ab
It ain't easy being me
Ab                              Fm   Eb    Db
Ought to be a side show act for freaks like me
Ab
Yea I could be the the star of the show
        Fm          Eb  Db 
With my name on the marquee
Ab                                       Fm     Eb       Db
In a room witha big red button that says danger do not touch
Bb
And twice a day  I'd mash it down
Db                           Eb
And you could watch me  self destruct
Db              Ab
Why do I do the things I do
     Bbm                      Fm
Was I born this way am I am a self made fool
Db                     Ab
I shoot the lights and curse the dark
Bbm                    Fm
I need your love but I break your heart
      Db                     Ab
And I know the words that'll bring you back
      Bbm                    Fm
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
  Db                    Ab                Bb
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
Db       Eb         Ab
It ain't easy being me
