There ought to be a town somewhere
EM F/GF/G Cadd9Cadd9
Named for how I feel

It wouldn't be on a map no where
EM F/GF/G C majorC
You might say that it don't exist
AM
But if you make enough wrong turns
C majorC D MajorD
It'da be hard to miss
G+G
There ought to a bridge somewhere
EM F/GF/G C majorC

I'd probably come to the ceremony
EM F/GF/G C majorC
with a can of gasoline
G+G
Walk on over to the other side
E minorEm F/GF/G C majorC
There I'd light a match
AM
Sit and stare through the smoke and flames and
C majorC D MajorD
wonder how I'm gonna get back
C majorC G+G
Why do I do the things I do?
AM E minorEm
Was I born this way? am I self made fool?

I need your love but I break your heart
C majorC
And I know the words that'll
G+G
bring you back but
AM EM
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack

I could be the star of the show
E minorEm F/GF/G C majorC
With my name on the marquee
G+G
In a room with a big red button
EM F/GF/G C majorC
that says "danger do not touch"
AM
Twice a day I'd mash it down and
C majorC D MajorD
you can watch me self-destruct

Why do I do the things I do
AM EM
Was I born this way or am I self made fool
C majorC G+G
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
