[F#]There ought to be a town somewhere
[Ebm]Named for how [Db]I f[B]eel
[F#]Yea I could be the Mayor dowm there
And say [Ebm]welcome to [Db]Sorryvil[B]le
[F#]It wouldn't be on a map nowhere
You might [Ebm]say it that it [Db]don't e[B]xist
[Ab]But if you make enough wrong turns
[B]It'd be hard to [Db]miss
[F#]There ought to be a bridge somewhere
They could d[Ebm]edica[Db]te to[B] me
[F#]I'd probably come to the ceremony
With a [Ebm]can of [Db]gaso[B]line
[F#]Walk on over to the other side
And [Ebm]there I'd [Db]light a ma[B]tch
[Ab]And sit and stare through the smoke and the flames
[B]Wondering how I'm ever gonna get [Db]back
[B]Why do I do the [F#]things I do
Was I[Abm] born this way am I am a [Ebm]self made fool
[B]I shoot the lights and [F#]curse the dark
[Abm]I need your love but I [Ebm]break your heart
And I[B] know the words that'll b[F#]ring you back
But I [Abm]don't say nothing as I [Ebm]watch you pack
I [B]had to work to be the [F#]jerk I've come to [Ab]be
[B]It ain't [Db]easy being [F#]me
[F#]Ought to be a side show act for [Ebm]freak[Db]s like[B] me
[F#]Yea I could be the the star of the show
With my [Ebm]name on the [Db]marq[B]uee
[F#]In a room witha big red button that says [Ebm]danger [Db]do not to[B]uch
[Ab]And twice a day I'd mash it down
[B]And you could watch me self [Db]destruct
[B]Why do I do the [F#]things I do
Was I[Abm] born this way am I am a [Ebm]self made fool
[B]I shoot the lights and [F#]curse the dark
[Abm]I need your love but I [Ebm]break your heart
And I [B]know the words that'll [F#]bring you back
But I [Abm]don't say nothing as I [Ebm]watch you pack
I [B]had to work to be the [F#]jerk I've come to [Ab]be
[B]It ain't [Db]easy being [F#]me
