“Pull out your clothes
       Esus4              E
You’re made for something special.”
   A
If that’s what it takes to get you out of bed
Db5              E              A
You think you’re meant for California
    E
But that’s just in your head

[Instrumental]
E Esus4 E

E         Esus4            E
I saw you howling at the street lights
A
Pressed against the skin you want to shed
Db5           E              A
You tore down all the walls for answers
And found this shit instead

[Instrumental]
E Esus4 E

[Chorus]
Db5        A           E
You and I remember in distinctly different ways
       Db5              A            E
How we realized that we simply don’t belong
       Db5              A              E
Like a cast of shallow characters performing on a stage
    Gbm                       A
Our final bow before the curtain comes

E                        Esus4      E
Throw up your hands like everyone’s offensive
A
Give up to God if that’s your cup of tea
Db5       E         A
Once everybody else around you
                    E  Esus4  E
Is bitter just like me
E             Esus4           E
Don’t let the poison that surrounds you
A
Stifle out the life you want to live
Db5            E             A
Please know it truly doesn’t matter
And truly never did

[Instrumental]
E  Esus4  E

[Chorus]
          Db5          A
You and I have woken up
             E
With hollow copies of our names
           Db5         A                E
With your scripted and directed set of lines
       Db5              A              E
Like a cast of shallow characters performing on a stage
Gbm                                      A
You know we’ll soon be fading from their minds
        Db5         A           E
You and I, we both remember in distinctly different ways
       Db5              A            E
How we realized that we simply don’t belong
       Db5              A              E
Like a cast of shallow characters performing on a stage
    Gbm                       A
Our final bow before the curtain comes
    Gbm                        A
Our final bow before the curtain comes
                  E
Before the curtain comes…
