It Ain't Easy Being Me chords by Chris Knight

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

G
There ought to be a town somewhere
EM        F/G   Cadd9
Named for how I feel
G
Yeah I could be the mayor down there
         EM       F/G    C
And say "welcome to sorryville"
G
It wouldn't be on a map no where
          EM         F/G    C
You might say that it don't exist
AM
But if you make enough wrong turns
C                 D
It'da be hard to miss
G

There ought to a bridge somewhere
          EM   F/G     C
they could dedicate to me
 G
I'd probably come to the ceremony
       EM   F/G    C
with a can of gasoline
G
Walk on over to the other side
  Em      F/G     C
There I'd light a match
 AM
Sit and stare through the smoke and flames and
       C                 D
wonder how I'm gonna get back
C               G
Why do I do the things I do?
AM                        Em
Was I born this way? am I self made fool?
C                        G
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
AM                     EM
I need your love but I break your heart
C
And I know the words that'll
G
bring you back but
AM                           EM
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
C                            G
I had to work to become the jerk
             Am
I've come to be
 C                  G
It ain't easy being me
G
There oughta be a side show act
EM    F/G       C
For freaks like me
G
I could be the star of the show
Em         F/G          C
With my name on the marquee
G
In a room with a big red button
           EM     F/G    C
that says "danger do not touch"
AM
Twice a day I'd mash it down and
C                     D
you can watch me self-destruct
C               G
Why do I do the things I do
AM                          EM
Was I born this way or am I self made fool
C                         G
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
Am                     EM
I need your love but I break your heart
C
And I know the words that will
G
bring you back
Am                          Em
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
C                        G
I had to work to be the jerk I've
        AM
come to be
C                   G
It ain't easy being me
C                   G
It ain't easy being me
