Key: G
Introduction:
G Em D C
There ought to be a town somewhere named for how I feel
G Em D C
Yeah I could be the mayor down there and say welcome to Sorryville
G Em D C
It wouldn?t be on a map nowhere you might say that it don?t exist
A C D
But if you make enough wrong turns it?d be hard to miss
G Em D C
There ought to be a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me
G Em D C
I?d probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline
G Em D C
Walk on over to the other side and there I?d light a match
A
And sit and stare through the smoke and flames
C D
Wondering how I?m gonna get back?
(chorus)
C G
Why do I do the things I do
Am Em
Was I born this way am I a self made fool
C G
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
Am Em
I need your love but I break your heart?
C G
And I know the words that?ll bring you back
Am Em
But I don?t say nothing as I watch you pack
C G A
I had to work to be the jerk I?ve come to be
C D G Em D C
It ain?t easy being me
G Em D C
There ought to be a sideshow act for freaks like me
G Em D C
Yeah I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee
G Em D C
In a room with a big red button that says danger do not touch
A C D
Twice a day I?d mash it down and you could watch me self-distruct
(repeat chorus)
