D D7 Bm A
On a string I was held the way I move, can you tell?
G A D
My actions are orchestrated from above
D D7 Bm A
So I swing and I sway wave my hands kick my legs
G A D
And it's always right with the music
(Until all that swinging starts to make you sick)
D D7 Bm A
For a song I was bought, now I lie when I talk
G A D
With a careful eye on the cue card
D D7 Bm A
Onto a stage, I was pushed with my sorrow well rehearsed
G A D
So give me all your pity and your money now, all of it
(We used to think that sound was something pure)
D D7 Bm A D
If I could act like this was my real life and not some cage where I've been placed
D7 Bm A D
Then, I could tell you the truth like I used to and not be afraid of sounding fake
G A D
Now all that anyone's listening for are the mistakes
(I'm sorry!)No it's okay, it's okay. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3!
D D7 Bm A
In a house, by myself, I hear the ice start to melt
G A D
And watch rooftops weep for the sunlight
D D7 Bm A
And I know what must change, fuck my face, fuck my name
G A D
They are brief and false advertisements
D D7 Bm A
For a soul I don't have something true I have lacked
G A D
And spent my whole life trying to make up for
D D7 Bm A
But I found in a song and in the people I love
G A D
They will lift me up out of darkness
D D7 Bm A
Now my door it stands open
G A D
I am inviting everyone in
D D7 Bm A
We're laugh we're drink until the morning comes
G A D
That is what we are gonna do!
