have Ayou ever been swindled by a Dswindler who lies
'cause he Gwants to see you smile, have a gDood time, be inspired
and he dAoesn't want for you to cry or Dknow he cries inside
so he hGides behind his great triumphant rDock and roll disguise
we wAant things to be real but you rDeally can't deny
we feel eGxcited and on fire is it Dwrong to lie and say he's fine
when Athe reason he's not fine is the pDressure of the power changing
liGves and just for an hour all these pDeople will be better people
Atake this job and shove it, adiDos I'm a ghost
I am Gleaving for the coast and I'll Dnever work for anyone aAgain
I am not your savior or your hDeavenly host
I'm Gjust a piece of zwieback toast
getting Dsoggy in a baby's achin' Amouth
I'm going Dsouth like the geese
I just goosed you and so Gmaybe I seem loose to you
but DI don't even want to screw
and I Adid once
but I Ddon't now
now that GI see how you do things
the Dway you play and sing's amazing
Abut the way you play the game is Dcrazy
you don't have to say you're Gsorry you don't owe me anyDthing
don't owe me anythingA  
Asometimes it seems like I've Dgot all the answers
but the Ganswers aren't the same when the Dquestions keep on changing
like Ahow will I react when I Dsee my mother crying
Gevery single day 'cause she Dis afraid of dying?
and Ahow will I contain my Danger
when Delila plays GUnchained Melody instead of DLost In Your Eyes?
and Awhere will I go Dwhere I can feel safe
when my Gfamily sells its place and we Dall split up and move away?A  
AI'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm Dbrave
other people feel Gbrave
but I feel like my Dheart is caving in
AI'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm Dbrave
other people feel Gbrave
but I feel like my Dheart is caving in
AI'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm Dbrave
other people feel Gbrave
but I feel like my Dheart is caving Ain

A D

have you ever been swindled by a swindler who lies

G D

'cause he wants to see you smile, have a good time, be inspired

A D

and he doesn't want for you to cry or know he cries inside

G D

so he hides behind his great triumphant rock and roll disguise

A D

we want things to be real but you really can't deny

G D

we feel excited and on fire is it wrong to lie and say he's fine

A D

when the reason he's not fine is the pressure of the power changing

G D

lives and just for an hour all these people will be better people

A D

take this job and shove it, adios I'm a ghost

G D A

I am leaving for the coast and I'll never work for anyone again

I am not your savior or your heavenly host

I'm just a piece of zwieback toast

D A

getting soggy in a baby's achin' mouth

I'm going south like the geese

I just goosed you and so maybe I seem loose to you

but I don't even want to screw

and I did once

but I don't now

now that I see how you do things

the way you play and sing's amazing

A D

but the way you play the game is crazy

G D

you don't have to say you're sorry you don't owe me anything

don't owe me anything

A D

sometimes it seems like I've got all the answers

G D

but the answers aren't the same when the questions keep on changing

A D

like how will I react when I see my mother crying

G D

every single day 'cause she is afraid of dying?

A D

and how will I contain my anger

G D

when Delila plays Unchained Melody instead of Lost In Your Eyes?

A D

and where will I go where I can feel safe

G D A

when my family sells its place and we all split up and move away?

A D

I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave

other people feel brave

but I feel like my heart is caving in

A D

I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave

other people feel brave

but I feel like my heart is caving in

A D

I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave

other people feel brave

D A

but I feel like my heart is caving in
