[Intro]
G Em D C
[Verse]
GThere ought to be a town somewhere Emnamed for Dhow I Cfeel
GYeah I could be the mayor down there and say Emwelcome to DSorryCville
GIt wouldn't be on a map nowhere you might Emsay that it Ddon't Cexist
ABut if you make enough wrong turns Cit'd be hard to Dmiss
GThere ought to be a bridge somewhere they could EmdedicaDte to Cme
GI'd probably come to the ceremony with a Emcan of DgasolCine
GWalk on over to the other side and Emthere I'd lDight a Cmatch
AAnd sit and stare through the smoke and flames
CWondering how I'm gonna gDet back...
[Chorus]
CWhy do I do the Gthings I do
Was I Amborn this way am I a Gself made fool
CI shoot the lights and I Gcurse the dark
I Amneed your love but I Gbreak your heart...
And I Cknow the words that'll Gbring you back
But I Amdon't say nothing as I Gwatch you pack
CI had to work to be the Gjerk I've come to Abe
CIt ain't Deasy being GmeEm  D  C

GThere ought to be a sideshow act Emfor fDreaks like Cme
GYeah I could be the star of the show with my Emname on the DmarqCuee
GIn a room with a big red button that Emsays danger Ddo not Ctouch
ATwice a day I'd mash it down and you could Cwatch me self-Ddistruct
[Chorus]
CWhy do I do the Gthings I do
Was I Amborn this way am I a Gself made fool
CI shoot the lights and I Gcurse the dark
I Amneed your love but I Gbreak your heart...
And I Cknow the words that'll Gbring you back
But I Amdon't say nothing as I Gwatch you pack
CI had to work to be the Gjerk I've come to Abe

[Intro]

G Em D C

[Verse]

G Em D C

There ought to be a town somewhere named for how I feel

G Em D C

Yeah I could be the mayor down there and say welcome to Sorryville

G Em D C

It wouldn't be on a map nowhere you might say that it don't exist

A C D

But if you make enough wrong turns it'd be hard to miss

G Em D C

There ought to be a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me

G Em D C

I'd probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline

G Em D C

Walk on over to the other side and there I'd light a match

And sit and stare through the smoke and flames

C D

Wondering how I'm gonna get back...

[Chorus]

C G

Why do I do the things I do

Am G

Was I born this way am I a self made fool

C G

I shoot the lights and I curse the dark

Am G

I need your love but I break your heart...

C G

And I know the words that'll bring you back

Am G

But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack

C G A

I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be

C D G Em D C

It ain't easy being me

[Verse]

G Em D C

There ought to be a sideshow act for freaks like me

G Em D C

Yeah I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee

G Em D C

In a room with a big red button that says danger do not touch

A C D

Twice a day I'd mash it down and you could watch me self-distruct

[Chorus]

C G

Why do I do the things I do

Am G

Was I born this way am I a self made fool

C G

I shoot the lights and I curse the dark

Am G

I need your love but I break your heart...

C G

And I know the words that'll bring you back

Am G

But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack

C G A

I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be

C D G Em D C

It ain't easy being me

D G Em D C

It ain't easy being me

[Outro]
