[Intro] (Doo-Wop Refrain)

[Verse 1]
FF C majorC
It's late at night it's time to tell you my secrets
Bb majorBb
My personality's cut up into pieces
FF
Modern society's my one secret weakness
C majorC
I'm out of money and I'm out of my mind
FF C majorC
We can't fit in so we just head for the fringes
Bb majorBb
Your universe of blue lipstick and syringes
FF
Your bedroom doorway with the bugs in the hinges
C majorC
Some things about you that I don't understand at all
[Chorus]
FF C majorC
But I, I don't wanna be the bad guy
Bb majorBb
I wanna see myself from the outside
Can you hear me now?
Wait can you?"
Wait, wait can you hear me now?
FF C majorC
Cause I, I have got a lousy connection
Bb majorBb
I promise my undying affection
Can you hear me now?
Wait, wait can you?"
Wait can you hear me now?

[Verse 2]
FF C majorC
So I've been working on this letter to congress
Bb majorBb
Regarding some things that I think they should address
FF
Showed up in court wearing an Indian headdress
C majorC FF
Somehow I think maybe the message was lost
C majorC
It seems the clarity we knew is degraded
Bb majorBb
A augmentedA royal flush where all the faces have faded
FF
I want the universe, God knows I've been patient
C majorC FF
I hear your voice behind a staticky storm
C majorC
The century seems like it's turning out okay
Bb majorBb
It's like a game of worldwide karaoke
FF
And my rich friends and me just sit and blow smoke rings
C majorC FF
There's nothing happening and it's happening too fast
C majorC
Try to interpret but the message is scrambled
Bb majorBb
The institutions that I lean on have crumbled
FF
I've got the world's ear; I'm all fucking mumbles
C majorC FF
I guess I'm just another link in a chain
[Chorus]
FF C majorC
But I, I don't wanna be the bad guy
Bb majorBb
I wanna see myself from the outside
Can you hear me now?
Wait can you?"
Wait, wait can you hear me now?
FF C majorC
Cause I, I have got a lousy connection
Bb majorBb
I promise my undying affection
Can you hear me now?
Wait, wait can you?"
Wait can you hear me now?
