Chords with lyrics

Verse:

 G+G       C9C9       D MajorD
Talk amongst the skeletons this morning
 G+G       C9C9       D MajorD
Aside from all the medicine and health
  E minorEm          C majorC
If you could do it all again
 G+G          D MajorD
Would you do it all the same?
   E minorEm           G+G        D2
Is there something that you'd tell your former self?
      G+G
There were those that wished
   C9C9       D MajorD
They'd spun upon a jukebox
     G+G        C9C9       D MajorD
There were pirates who had never seen the sea
  E minorEm        C majorC
But the one recurring theme
  G+G        D MajorD
The one recurring dream they had
  E minorEm       G+G      D2
Was to be whatever they wanted to be

Chorus:

   G+G      D MajorD
To be Pyotr Tchaikovsky
   G+G     C9C9    D MajorD
To be free like everyone else
     G+G   C9C9     D MajorD
There will be no flags to warn me
   E minor 7Em7   C9C9     D MajorD
'Cause I just want to be myself

(G+G C9C9 D MajorD)
(G+G C9C9 D MajorD)

Verse:

  G+G     C9C9      D MajorD
You'll let telephone in by a region
    G+G   C9C9         D MajorD
Is there any advice that you could give?
  E minor 7Em7           C majorC
When you know you're not like them
   C majorC      E minorEm
Do you know La Varsovienne?
   E minorEm
I know that I am living
  E minorEm          D MajorD
But can you show me how to live

Chorus:

    G+G     D MajorD
And the Holy Roman Army
     G+G       C9C9     D MajorD
Said your heart beats like everyone else
     G+G    C9C9     D MajorD
You don't need no flags to tell you who you are
 E minor 7Em7  C9C9     D MajorD  G+G
I just want to be myself

 G+G           C9C9    D MajorD
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa

Chorus:

     G+G       D MajorD
There's an aura that surrounds me
     G+G     C9C9    D MajorD
There's a different kind of wealth
   G+G     C9C9     D MajorD
And I don't need flags to know

you're really something
  G+G   C9C9      D MajorD
And I just love you for yourself
  G+G   C9C9      D MajorD
Oh, I just love you for yourself

(G+G C9C9 D MajorD)

 G+G           C9C9    D MajorD
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa
 G+G           C9C9    D MajorD
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa
 G+G           C9C9    D MajorD
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa
