D            D7              Bm            A
On a string I was held the way I move, can you tell?
      G                    A                   D
My actions are orchestrated from above
     D            D7              Bm            A
So I swing and I sway wave my hands kick my legs
       G              A                 D
And it's always right with the music

(Until all that swinging starts to make you sick)
     D            D7              Bm            A
For a song I was bought, now I lie when I talk
      G                    A                   D
With a careful eye on the cue card
     D            D7              Bm            A
Onto a stage, I was pushed with my sorrow well rehearsed
       G              A                 D
So give me all your pity and your money now, all of it


(We used to think that sound was something pure)
D                 D7                     Bm                            A                             D
If I could act like this was my real life and not some cage where I've been placed
         D7                                 Bm                             A                        D
Then, I could tell you the truth like I used to and not be afraid of sounding fake
G                                          A              D
Now all that anyone's listening for are the mistakes
(I'm sorry!)No it's okay, it's okay. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3!


     D            D7              Bm            A
In a house, by myself, I hear the ice start to melt
      G                    A                   D
And watch rooftops weep for the sunlight
     D            D7              Bm            A
And I know what must change, fuck my face, fuck my name
       G              A                 D
They are brief and false advertisements

     D            D7              Bm            A
For a soul I don't have something true I have lacked
      G                    A                   D
And spent my whole life trying to make up for
     D            D7              Bm            A
But I found in a song and in the people I love
       G              A                 D
They will lift me up out of darkness

     D            D7              Bm            A
Now my door it stands open
      G                    A                   D
I am inviting everyone in
     D            D7              Bm            A
We're laugh we're drink until the morning comes
       G              A                 D
That is what we are gonna do!
