Verse 1:
E MajorE           A augmentedA
Always searching for something
  F#7F#7        C#7C#7
Looking at the place that I should be
E MajorE           A augmentedA      F#7F#7 C#7C#7
But I’m nothing, I’m nobody, nobody
E MajorE
So I try to be smarter
A augmentedA       F#7F#7         C#7C#7
Letting go of pointless remedies
E MajorE             A augmentedA
I’m a robot, a product of society

Chorus:
A augmentedA       F#7F#7     E MajorE
Wake up, hide your face in makeup
C#7C#7      A augmentedA       F#7F#7  E MajorE
Try to be good enough - or at least pretend
    C#7C#7
You’re everyone’s best friend
    A augmentedA     F#7F#7     E MajorE
You’ll only, find happiness in money
      A augmentedA
Acting like somebody
  F#7F#7       E MajorE
But inside you feel dead
 C#7C#7
- do it all again

A7A7 F#7F#7 E MajorE C#7C#7 x2

I wanna be perfect
F#7F#7       C#7C#7
Supermodel life, white picket fence house
E MajorE     A augmentedA     F#7F#7        C#7C#7
I wanna be worth it, the girl that you dream about
E MajorE       A augmentedA     F#7F#7
I wanna be normal - live, try, work, die -
C#7C#7
it’s so cyclical
E MajorE   A augmentedA    F#7F#7       C#7C#7
To be mortal, seems like such a constant struggle

Chorus:
A augmentedA       F#7F#7      E MajorE
Wake up, hide your face in makeup
C#7C#7      A augmentedA       F#7F#7   E MajorE
Try to be good enough - or at least pretend
    C#7C#7
You’re everyone’s best friend
    A augmentedA     F#7F#7     E MajorE
You’ll only, find happiness in money
C#7C#7     A augmentedA
Acting like somebody
   F#7F#7      E MajorE
But inside you feel dead
 C#7C#7
- do it all again

Bridge:
G#G#      E MajorE  A augmentedA
Tired of the same routine
F#F#         C#C#
What’s the point in being free?
        E MajorE    A augmentedA
If I only wanna live to please
F#F#        C#C#
Do I ever really live for me?
        E MajorE     A augmentedA
Do I even know myself at all?
F#F#        C#C#
If nothing’s under my control
       E MajorE   A augmentedA
Maybe it’s a mortal toll
    F#F#        C#C#
We’d do anything just to feel whole

And I’m tired of it
