intro
The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
But come on fellas at least we made our choice, hey!

A,E,D

What do we want?  E MajorE
D MajorD
And when do we want it?
A augmentedA        E MajorE             D MajorD
And how would we feel if we knew that we were never gunna get it?
A augmentedA      E MajorE
And where did we start from?
D MajorD
And where are we going?
A augmentedA        E MajorE               D MajorD
Can anyone here say with any certainty that they know what they're doing?

E MajorE                        D MajorD
Ever feel like an awkward understudy thrown into a cast where you just don't get along
E MajorE                       D MajorD
Crowd and the crew all standing silent staring and you can't shake the feeling that
somehow you're doing it wrong

A,E,D
What do we want?

A,E     D MajorD
Mum and dad always seem like that had a plan
A augmentedA        E MajorE              D MajorD
Everything fell apart when mum moved on, now dad's a broken man
A augmentedA   E MajorE          D MajorD
And all these decisions that keep getting made
A augmentedA       E MajorE           D MajorD
I can't remember making them and nobody wants to explain

E MajorE                           D MajorD
We're all awkward understudies wearing comfortable shoes getting comfortable with doing it wrong
E MajorE                             D MajorD
Missed the dress rehearsals and we had to rush a drink before the show but now it's show
time and we're singing our song!

A augmentedA
Because the bands I like, they don't sell too many records
E MajorE             D MajorD
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
A augmentedA
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
E MajorE            D MajorD
But come on fellas at least we made our choice

A augmentedA
The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
E MajorE                 D MajorD
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
A augmentedA
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
E MajorE               D MajorD
But come on fellas at least we made our choice

E MajorE                   A augmentedA
Be a fan of every band who ever made you want to move your feet
E MajorE           A augmentedA          D MajorD          BB
Fall along with every person who ever made your heart want to skip a beat
C7C7
So come on, come on, come on!
D7D7
What do we want?

We shall not overcome!
A,E,D
We shall not go well!
A,E,D
Hey, hey!
A,E
Because the lives we lead, they will be so very perfect
D MajorD
And the plans we make made us serve some kind of purpose
A,E
But the hearts we meet still beat the way they used to
D MajorD
If you're doing it wrong, well yeah what you gunna do?
A,E,D
