E MajorE    BB      C# minorC#m
I've got money in my pocket
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
I like the color of my hair
   BB        C# minorC#m
I've got a friend who loves me
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
Got a house, I've got a car
      BB      C# minorC#m
I've got a good mother
    A augmentedA           E MajorE
and her voice is what keeps me here

    BB
Feet on ground
     C# minorC#m
Heart in hand
    A augmentedA
Facing forward

Be yourself
E MajorE  BB C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
I,     I've never wanted anything
  E MajorE    BB  C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
No I've, no I've,  I've never wanted anything
E MajorE   BB  C# minorC#m A augmentedA
so bad...    so bad

E MajorE     BB        C# minorC#m
Cardboard masks of all the people
     A augmentedA
I've been
E MajorE        BB        C# minorC#m
thrown out with all the rusted, tangled
    A augmentedA          E MajorE
dented God Damned miseries
     BB        C# minorC#m
You could say I'm hard to hold
      A augmentedA
But if you knew me you'd know
E MajorE    BB       C# minorC#m
I've got a good father
    A augmentedA             E MajorE
And his strength is what makes me cry

    BB
Feet on ground
     C# minorC#m
Heart in hand
    A augmentedA
Facing forward

Be yourself
E MajorE  BB C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
I,     I've never wanted anything
  E MajorE    BB  C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
No I've, no I've,  I've never wanted anything
E MajorE   BB  C# minorC#m A augmentedA
so bad...    so bad
