[verse 1]

      Am          F           C/G
Who am I? What am I? What’s inside?
       E7              Am
That’s causing this Malfunction
    F          C/G       E7 
Mislabeled, unable, To repair this Mal-

[Bridge]

F                G         Am
Functioning just fine, I’m alive
        F           G               Am
At this junction of dysfunction, We arrive

[Chorus]

              F
What’s your Malfunction?
          G               Am                       F
Don’t be scared, It don’t matter how you wear your hair
              F
What’s your Malfunction?
          G               Am                    F
Find its mirth, perfect’s a bore for what it’s worth

F             G
Gold, silver, copper, bronze
    Am                F
The dullest metal can still be strong

F                     G
Well we might have our share of ticks
Am                      F
But honey that’s how we get our kicks


F            G            Am
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away
F            E7            Am
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away
   F            C/G            E7
Malfunction! Malfunction! Malfunction!

[Verse 2]

Am           F        C/G
My function’s desire
                    E7                  Am
Climb higher than a spider on the wire
            F         C/G
You function in mirth
                      E7
But that sector might need rebirth

Am
I’m about to pick you up
F
get you back up on your feet
C/G
you don’t need to worry love
E7
Even if we’re incomplete

Am
Come on baby open up
F
Pull out the wires and trim the fluff
C/G
Be yourself sounds so cliche
E7
But hey let's do it anyway

[Bridge]

      F                G           Am
We’re functioning just fine, we’re alive
        F             G                Am
At this junction of dysfunction we are arrive


[Chorus]

              F
What’s your Malfunction?
          G               Am                       F
Don’t be scared, It don’t matter how you wear your hair
              F
What’s your Malfunction?
          G               Am                    F
Bring it forth, perfect’s a bore for what it’s worth

F              G
Curvy, skinny, or bizarre
Am                F
The best shape is who you are

F                         G
Raise your hand if you’re not from a mold (yeah me)
Am                       F
Varied strings are worth more than gold
 
F            G            Am
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away
F            E7            Am
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away
   F            C/G           E7
Malfunction! Malfunction! Malfunction!


[verse 3]

Am
Feel the fires as they tickle your face
F
Watch and learn as they make you feel disgrace
C/G
Ones and zeroes left over, left out to haunt 
E7
Comb them in and let them want

Am
I want more from this stupid life
F
Do you want more from this stupid life? (oh yeah)
C/G
Ones and zeroes, ones and zeroes, ones and zeroes
E7
Add them up, take them up, show them


[Bridge]

     F               G        Am
I’m functioning just fine I’m alive
      F             G           Am
At my junction of dysfunction we arrive

[Chorus]

                F
What’s their Malfunction?
        G            Am                     F
It’s a start; Can we teach them not to fall apart?
      F
Their Malfunction 
      G                Am             F
isn’t us, it’s all the clamor and the fuss
 
F               G           Am                 F
When I say that I love you, dammit Janet, take it as truth
   F                   G
        Everything’s a little broken
   Am                           F
        To be pristine well you must be jokin’

F            G            Am
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away
F            E7            Am
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away
