[Ab]There ought to be a town somewhere
[Fm]Named for how [Eb]I f[Db]eel
[Ab]Yea I could be the Mayor dowm there
And say [Fm]welcome to [Eb]Sorryvil[Db]le
[Ab]It wouldn't be on a map nowhere
You might [Fm]say it that it [Eb]don't e[Db]xist
[Bb]But if you make enough wrong turns
[Db]It'd be hard to [Eb]miss
[Ab]There ought to be a bridge somewhere
They could d[Fm]edica[Eb]te to[Db] me
[Ab]I'd probably come to the ceremony
With a [Fm]can of [Eb]gaso[Db]line
[Ab]Walk on over to the other side
And [Fm]there I'd [Eb]light a ma[Db]tch
[Bb]And sit and stare through the smoke and the flames
[Db]Wondering how I'm ever gonna get [Eb]back
[Db]Why do I do the [Ab]things I do
Was I[Bbm] born this way am I am a [Fm]self made fool
[Db]I shoot the lights and [Ab]curse the dark
[Bbm]I need your love but I [Fm]break your heart
And I[Db] know the words that'll b[Ab]ring you back
But I [Bbm]don't say nothing as I [Fm]watch you pack
I [Db]had to work to be the [Ab]jerk I've come to [Bb]be
[Db]It ain't [Eb]easy being [Ab]me
[Ab]Ought to be a side show act for [Fm]freak[Eb]s like[Db] me
[Ab]Yea I could be the the star of the show
With my [Fm]name on the [Eb]marq[Db]uee
[Ab]In a room witha big red button that says [Fm]danger [Eb]do not to[Db]uch
[Bb]And twice a day I'd mash it down
[Db]And you could watch me self [Eb]destruct
[Db]Why do I do the [Ab]things I do
Was I[Bbm] born this way am I am a [Fm]self made fool
[Db]I shoot the lights and [Ab]curse the dark
[Bbm]I need your love but I [Fm]break your heart
And I [Db]know the words that'll [Ab]bring you back
But I [Bbm]don't say nothing as I [Fm]watch you pack
I [Db]had to work to be the [Ab]jerk I've come to [Bb]be
[Db]It ain't [Eb]easy being [Ab]me
