On a Dstring I was D7held the way I mBmove, can you tAell?
My actGions are orchestrated Afrom aboveD  
So I Dswing and I sD7way wave my handBms kick my legsA  
And it'Gs always right Awith the musicD  
(Until all that swinging starts to make you sick)
For a Dsong I was bD7ought, now I lie Bmwhen I talkA  
With a Gcareful eye on the cAue cardD  
Onto Da stage, I waD7s pushed with my Bmsorrow well rAehearsed
So give Gme all your piAty and your money Dnow, all of it
(We used to think that sound was something pure)
DIf I could act likD7e this was my real life Bmand not some cage where I've Abeen placedD  
Then, I cD7ould tell you the truth like I used Bmto and not be afraid of soundiAng fakeD  
GNow all that anyone's listening for are the AmistakesD  
(I'm sorry!)No it's okay, it's okay. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3!
In a Dhouse, by mysD7elf, I hear the Bmice start to mAelt
And waGtch rooftops weep for Athe sunlightD  
And I Dknow what muD7st change, fuck Bmmy face, fuck Amy name
They arGe brief and falAse advertisementsD  
For a Dsoul I don't D7have something Bmtrue I have laAcked
And spGent my whole life tryAing to make up forD  
But I Dfound in a sD7ong and in the pBmeople I loveA  
They wiGll lift me up oAut of darknessD  
Now mDy door it staD7nds openBm  A  
I am iGnviting everyone inA  D  
We're Dlaugh we're D7drink until the Bmmorning comesA  
That is Gwhat we are goAnna do!D

So I swing and I sway wave my hands kick my legs
