And not even change my attitude, But I'll try to change, if you want me to.

Chorus:
  C   A#    G# A#     C    A#
De Diva, De Diva in denial;

Watch me going down in style.

well, at least you're spending time with me.

           C                     E     Am                       F
And they treat me like I don't belong, But somehow, that just made me strong.
       C                E                    Am                C
And I push too hard, I push too soon, And I live it out on a paper moon.

Then you take me in, when I've had enough.
Dm                         F                            G
