              C                               G
I'm sorry for all the things I said when I forgot
F                 F
I was trying to be normal.
                       C              G            F        F
And I'm sorry for that lie that I was trying to be normal.



Verse 1:

I was made with a little bit a West Coast, a little bit a South
F                          F
I get all my crazy from my mom and my dad. They say:
 C                       G                F             F
"Be who you are, there's no such thing as normal" and I know it's a little bit
C    E            F                 F
1991 pop song, to say, "Just be yourself".
              C    E               F               F
So, call me a 1991 pop song, don't wanna be nobody else.

C               E              F             F
Me, myself, and I, we got some growing up to do
C              E              F                  F
so, call the restaurant and set a table for two.
    C              E                    * Am        F
And I'll pull up a chair because I got to learn somehow, somewhere.
C               E       * Am         F
Me, myself, and I, are sorry for the way.

Verse 2:
            C                 G            F         F
We tried to make it seem like   we're neurotypical
        C                      G              F             F
when we know there's just some things that we can't control.
           C                        G
But I just wanted to fit in, didn't wanna stand out.
                F                                 F
Didn't want you looking at me the way you looking at me right now
  C                  G            F         F
before you knew that I'm not neurotypical.
                  C    E            F                 F
It's a little bit 1991 pop song, to say, "Just be yourself".
              C    E               F               F
So, call me a 1991 pop song, don't wanna be nobody else.


C               E              F             F

C              E              F                  F

    C              E                    * Am        F
And I'll pull up a chair because I got to learn somehow, somewhere.
C               E  * Am            F        F         F
Me, myself, and I. Me, myself, and I.

Post-Chorus
C                               C
Piano here, 'cause that's where it belongs
C                  C                            G*
two minutes in, is the perfect part of the song for feelings.

Bridge:

you take a lot of hate from the doubt I manifest.
                                       F
Listening to listeners lists makes inhibitions
                                             F
that did not exist until the existence of my listening.
                                    G
Like a mirror or a scale is the definition of you
                                F
I'm sorry to my body for what I put you through.
                                                      F
Not thanking you for walking with me when my mind was walking from me.
                                            C
How you carried life inside me gave me more joy than pounds could give me.
                      C
I'm sorry to my soul
I was just a kid
Am
I didn't realize my profits were helping let you go.
                             Am
The people that I trusted to teach me everything
                                             F
became professors in the machine that's anti-original.
                 F                       G
But I don't even have to be like anybody else
G                         A
I know it's so cliché but I just wanna be myself.
                  A                           F
I'm sorry for the way I told you normal was a thing
                 G                                (C)
and if you are imperfect then you know just what I mean.
