A F#m
Generally, I'm a modest guy
D E
I've eaten my share of humble pie
A F#m
Sometimes that's delicious, but I do have wishes
D E
To swim with the biggest of bigger fishes
A F#m
What would be the point if we were all the same?
D E
Life would be an abject, hackneyed game
A F#m
No frame of reference for pleasure when there's no pain
D
I'd rather not refrain
E
I'd rather not abstain
A F#m
Do you believe I'm special?
D E
Would you agree I'm special?
A F#m
How could I be so special?
D E
Do I believe I'm special?
A F#m
I'm not afraid to be cast aside
D E
Invisible guys don't need to hide
A F#m
The struggle is real, but what's the deal
D E
When folk feel like they need to have the most appeal?
A F#m
I remember practicing most weekends
D E
At the expense of spending joyful time with friends
A F#m
Imagining that it would yield the best rewards
D E Eb D
Not four repeating hip-hop, doo-wop chords
A F#m
Do you believe I'm special?
D E
Would you agree I'm special?
A F#m
How could I be so special?
D E
Do I believe I'm special?
A F#m
Mom always told me that I was one of a kind
D E
But as I got older and wise, that sentiment began to weigh on my mind
A F#m
What makes me different from all of the others dreaming?
D E
I can't seem to recall the reason that I'm worth redeeming
A F#m
I say indifference is bliss so when I inevitably miss
D
This dissonance that I'm listening in
E A
Suspends my solipsistic senses a little bit less
A7
Makes my hurt less intense
D E C#
If you claim it's how you planned it, you don't have to make amends
F#m G#m
But I'm not stupid, I know when it's lies that I tell
A Bm
If there's one person in this world that I can't trick then it's myself
A Bm
I suppose it's just the problem with trying to be self-aware:
A Bm C#
You don't need a mirror to see the misery in your stare
F#m
But I see through this senseless entropy
F#m
These maladies made a man of me
E
This blade the Dionysius insidiously insisted on Damocles
D
Is one that bodes an omen of darkness... or so they tell
C# Bm A G#
Without giving us a chance to see the hand in which it's held
F#m E
And anyway, who am I to fret like this?
A F#
Maybe a key change can pull me out of this abyss
B G#m
Sooner or later I shall find myself
E F#
And make amends with the me left on the shelf
B G#m
In a jam session and lesson taught of love and sin
E F#
Until we finally find that great, resounding din
B G#m
So maybe I'm unique and maybe not
E F#
But I might as well deliver all I've got
B G#m

Dm G
Do I (we) believe I'm (we're) special?
(Though we make ourselves castles every tide we're around)
C F
Oh, live the dream
(Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk?)
Dm G
In a time machine, you've been waiting forever
(Do you like how my face has learned to tick like a clock?)
C Am
Oh, live the dream
(I have a wonderful life, I know a powerful Bob (Todd))

In a time machine, you've been waiting forever
