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
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
