Verse 1:
       F               A
In the lipstick on the mirror
        Dm           Bbm
Are the lyrics to my obituary
    F                 A
In iambic pentameter, follow parameters
Dm                       Bbm
Crossing my eyes, dot my t's
        F               A
I was delivered holding scissors
         Dm                Bbm
I live deliberately, I’m a quitter
      Dm
And a winner anyway
        Gm                 C
Cause I never agreed to participate in this game
Bb              C                 F          C         Dm
Won't follow my dreams cause they all got me waking up screaming
        Gm
I can’t let them go for me
      C                    C#
After all, there's no I in team

Chorus:
                  F#               A#
And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
      D#m                    B
I suggest that we keep this informal
        F#            A#                 D#m   B
‘Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
                 F#            A#
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
       D#m                            B
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya!
      F#          D#m              G#m       C#
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be, yeah yeah

In the current tense, presently, this sentence ending in question marks or dot dot dot
      F               A                   Dm                        Bb
Is it courageous or escapist to leave the quarantine when you’re contagious?
   Dm
It may just be a cold
    Gm                        C
And besides I don’t wanna get old yeah
Bb                C               F         C      Dm
I drank myself to death to be the afterlife of the party
         Gm                     C             C#
When the afterparty came
I was rolling in my grave

Spoken:

(repeat chord progression until verse is over)

F       A       Dm       Bb
Now this is the part of the song where I talk to my audience.
F       A       Dm       Bb
I like to tell 'em there's something I want from you hep cats tonight.
F       A       Dm       Bb
I want you to look to your left, look to your right, your 12 o'clock, three o'clock, six o'clock
F       A       Dm       Bb
nine o'clock, rock around the clock tonight.
F       A       Dm       Bb
And I want you to find those points of no return, those singularities, those event horizons,

(strum slightly more intense)

F       A       Dm       Bb
those burning rings of fire in the beautiful pupils and the beautiful eyes of the beautiful boy, girl
F       A       Dm       Bb
neither, both, or in-between that you brought with you tonight.
F       A       Dm       Bb
And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel.
F       A       Dm       Bb
I want you to love the way they so seamlessly, like a dream for me,

(strum more intense)

F       A       Dm       Bb      N.C
so beautifully, oh so dutifully, jam that square peg in the round hole in their hearts!

{strum intensely :'))

F       A       Dm       Bb
I want you to tell 'em that you love the way that they don't stick out like sore middle fingers.
F       A       Dm       Bb
That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve, stick their flag in the peak
F       A       Dm       Bb
and slide their way back down. I want you to tell them that you love the way that they're not maladaptive
F       A       Dm       Bb
not malcontent, not malignant or maleficent
F       A       Dm       Bb   N.C
but rather that you love them exactly the way that everybody else is!

Pre-Chorus:
Bb              C
I was nothing before so
  F             C           Dm
I couldn’t have asked to be born
Bb               C             F      C             Dm
I'll be nothing again, so what am I between now and then?
Bb                  C
Is there nothing to fear
      F        C     Dm
Cause shit's getting weird
      Gm
So to God who made this man
           C                  C#
You better have one hell of a plan

Chorus:
                  F#               A#
And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
      D#m                    B
I suggest that we keep this informal
        F#            A#                 D#m   B
‘Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
                 F#            A#
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
       D#m                            B
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya!
      F#          D#m              G#m       C#
